I'm looking for your software- not sure if you can see my last post about quick SMS TXT of Lat/Lon? - I'm now on Google Lattitude but can't get friends to share location data with me. I'm looking for a 1 way "here I am at this time Google Map graphic" to be sent to anyone. Clectcar

On the main screen, I can see my GPS location.
I can scroll down and highlight my location, which is displayed as
38:12:34.53,-122:32:12.34
Menu, copy, switch to the appropriate app to compose SMS or email, and paste it in.
But, not very many apps can use that lat/long format.
If that were displayed/copied/pasted as 38.1234,-122.5123 I think it would be a good thing. That would be acceptable to Mobile Google Maps, maps.google.com and Google Earth. In the current format, if you change the : to space, it is usable in maps.google.com and Google Earth, but not Google Mobile Maps.
It seems like Google Maps on the BBerry would offer the ability to copy-paste the location, but even with Latitude, I don't see that ability. I see it mentioned often in the "ideas for mobile" section on Google, but ...
