A radioterminal according to claim 1 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon a telecommunications standard and other regulatory requirements under which the radioterminal is operating. 7. A radioterminal according to claim 1 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon an acceleration, speed, velocity and position of the radioterminal. 8. A radioterminal according to claim 1 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon a length of time it took to decode a previous GPS signal and/or to estimate a previous position of the radioterminal and a desired accuracy of a position determination. 9. A radioterminal according to claim 1 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon a user input, a system input and a time-of-day value. 10. A radioterminal comprising: a wireless communications transmitter; a wireless communications receiver; a global positioning system (GPS) receiver including a GPS radio frequency (RF) systemand a GPS signal processing system; and a controller that is configured to switch the radioterminal between a first mode, wherein the GPS RF system and the GPS signal processing system are disabled and the wireless communications transmitter is enabled, and a second mode, wherein the GPS RF system and the GPS signal processing system are enabled to receive and process GPS signals, respectively, and the wireless communications transmitter is disabled; wherein the controller is further configured to switch the radioterminal to the second mode when the radioterminal has been in the time, wherein the redetermined time comprises a variable predetermined time, and to send a measure of location of the radioterminal to at least one other radioterminal, wherein an identity of the radioterminal is used to determine the at least one other radioterminal and the measure of location of the radioterminal is sent to the at least one other radioterminal responsive to a change of position of the radioterminal and responsive to a rate of change of position of the radioterminal. 11.

A radioterminal according to claim 10 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon an acceleration, speed, velocity and position of the radioterminal. 15. A radioterminal according to claim 10 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon a length of time it took to decode a previous GPS signal, a length of time it took to estimate a previous position of the radioterminal and a desired accuracy of a position determination. 16. A radioterminal according to claim 10 wherein the variable predetermined time is based upon a user input, a system input and a time-of-day value. 17. A method of operating a radioterminal that includes awireless communications transmitter, a wireless communications receiver, and a globalpositioning system (GPS) receiver including a GPS radio frequency (RF) system and a GPS signal processing system, the method comprising: switching the radioterminal between a first mode, wherein the GPS RF system and the GPS signal processing system are disabled and the wireless communications transmitter is enabled, and a second mode, wherein the GPS RF system and the GPS signal processing system are enabled to receive and process GPS signals, respectively, and the wireless communications transmitter is disabled; switching the radioterminal to the second mode when the radioterminal has been in thefirst mode for a predetermined time, wherein the predetermined time comprises a variablepredetermined time; and sending a measure of location of the radioterminal to at least one other radioterminal, wherein an identity of the radioterminal is used to determine the at least one other radioterminal and the measure of location of the radioterminal is sent to the at least one other radioterminal responsive to a change of position of the radioterminal and responsive to a rate of change of position of the radioterminal. 18. A method according to claim 17 further comprising: enabling the wireless communications receiver in the first and/or second modes. 19. A method according to claim 17 wherein switching further comprises switching the radioterminal between the second mode to determine a position of the radioterminal, and the first mode to transmit the position of the radioterminal. 20.
