On the iPhone the Google Maps Link is opened with the Maps-App. So its possible to use the Maps-Navigation to find the route to the sender of the message.
It also works (limited) without internet connection, so its a great tool for trips to foreign countries where the roaming costs are often very high, to tell your friends where you are.
Before sending the message hava a look of the displayed accuracy - its getting better the longer you wait.
