A method and system for sending messages that indicate position. In one embodiment, the message transmission device includes a message transmission unit that is coupled to a position determination system. A server is adapted to receive messages from the message transmission device. In operation, a first message is generated at the message transmission device. The position of the message transmission device is determined and is included in the message. The message is then sent to the server. The server then generates a second message that complies with any instruction indicated in the first message that relates to position. An instruction that relates to position can indicate routing, format, performance of a task, etc. By indicating return routing in the instruction, a user can obtain location in any of a number of desired formats without the need to store extensive databases in the message transmission device. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a message transmission device is used that does not include PDS processing capabilities. PDS data is received and is transmitted to the server, along with an indication of the time that the PDS data is received. The server then determines the position of the message transmission device and sends a second message that indicates the position of the message transmission device. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION 1.
A method for sending a message that indicates position comprising: a) receiving a first message, said first message including a determination of position and an instruction that relates to position; b) generating a second message that complies with said instruction and that indicates said determination of position; and c) transmitting said second message.
2.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction indicates routing, said second message is routed according to said instruction.
3.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction indicates return routing, said second message is transmitted back to the sender of said first message.
4.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction indicates transmission to a service provider, said second message is sent to said service provider, said message indicating said instruction and indicating said determined position.
5.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction is a query, said second message indicates a response to said query.
6.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction indicates that a task is to be performed that relates to said determined position, said second message operates to instruct the performance of said task.
7.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 1 wherein, when said instruction indicates that a task is to be performed by an automated device, said second message operates to instruct said automated device to perform said task when said determined position meets predetermined criteria.
8.
A method for sending a message that indicates position according to claim 7 wherein, when said instruction indicates that a gate is to be opened, said second message instructs operating circuitry coupled to said gate to open said gate when said determined position is near said gate
