Abstract: Methods, systems, user interfaces, media, and devices are described for sharing the location of participants of a communication session established via a messaging system. Consistent with some embodiments, an electronic communication containing location information is received from a location sensor coupled to a first client device. A current location of the first user is determined based on the location information. A current location of the first user is displayed, on a display screen of a second client device, the current location of the first user being displayed within a messaging UI during a communication session between the computing device and the second computing device. The location information may be updated during the communication session as messages are exchanged and as a current location changes. Various embodiments may include additional information with the current location, such as a time period associated with the location, or other such information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, user interfaces, media, and devices provide a geographically-based graphical user interface (GUI) suited to single-handed operation of a device. The method and system provide for causing display of a GUI including map data displayed in a first view; receiving input comprising at least one input point; determining first and second characteristics of the input; processing, when the first characteristic fulfils a first operational mode criterion, the input according to a first operational mode and causing display of the map data in a second view, the second view being based on the second characteristic of the input; and processing, when the first characteristic of the input fulfils a second operational mode criterion, the input according to a second operational mode, and causing display of the map data in a third view, the third view being based on the second characteristic of the input.
