The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing
real-time position information of one party to another party by utilizing
a conventional telecommunication network system such as the convention
telephone network, a mobile telecommunications network, a computer
network, or the Internet. More specifically, the preferred embodiments of
the present invention allow a caller and a receiver of a telephone call
to provide to and receive from each other position information related to
the caller and/or receiver's physical location, including address
information, GPS coordinates, nearby fixed locations such as a parking
structure, etc. Additionally, the preferred embodiments of the present
invention allow a caller and receiver to retrieve routing instructions or

present invention, a party may locate the position of another party via
the entry of the other party's unique identifier such as a phone number
of the other party's mobile phone. In yet another embodiment of the
present invention, the position information of a party may be
concurrently delivered to another party's computer terminal whereby the
other party can process the information in further detail.
