SMS Keywords: Geo

I've created an application that will send you the Lat/Long of a location and was wondering if there was a uniform way of sending it via Text Message such that Android or iPhone might allow the user to click it and open that location in a map.

Yes, Android has geocoder which will tell you the address but sometimes that takes too long or is unable to find anything useful.

I've looked through and android has the geo keyword for intent, but I don't think a SMS will respond to that, does 开发者_运维问答anyone know of a uniform way?

Currently no such common keyword is implemented. Android will handle geo URIs, but to the best of my knowledge those are not natively handled by any other platforms (and on Android its only Google-branded devices with Google Maps installed that will natively handle them).

You might want to build a trivial handler for the other platforms: it might require installable software, but shouldn't be TOO painful.
