Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method in a wireless communications device for transmitting current location information representing a current location of the wireless communications device entails engaging in a voice call with a communications device and, during the voice call: receiving input on a user interface of the wireless communications device; responsive to receiving the input, automatically launching an application that generates a message; obtaining, by the application, the current location information representing the current location of the wireless communications device from within the application; automatically including the current location information in the message; and transmitting the message to the communications device. The input is a press of a dedicated hotkey or a press of a combination of keys. The message is one of an email, an SMS message, a MMS message or an instant message.
