problems sharing GPS location from Iphone 4 to Nexus S

[doggstarr]

Hello,
So, wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and has a fix for it.

I was at a festival with friends who all had Iphone 4 devices and they can "drop a pin" that has their exact location via GPS coordinates. It helps so that we can all meet at that place. They then share the location of that pin with me via MMS. However, the email that I get from them is blank. There is no information at all. I have activated Google Latitude on my phone, but they don't have it on their phones most likely.

So, I can send them a pin of my location via MMS, but I cannot receive that MMS back from them.

Any ideas? I called Samsung support but they offered no help at all, just excuses really. They did suggest it could be a Sprint problem, but I thought I would ask here since I am sure I am not the only one having this problem.

Is there any way to tell Samsung or google about this since the problem comes from google maps? It is kind of embarrassing to have this problem on a google phone to be honest.

any help is totally appreciated.

sorry, i meant that the text is blank--not an email. they can send it via gmail as well, which may work..i have not tried it that way.

It's a problem with the format that the iPhone uses to "attach" the coordinates. It only seems to work on other iPhones. Good job Apple!
