A system for exchanging GPS or other position data between devices for purposes of group activities, child location monitoring, work group coordination, dispatching of employees etc. Cell phones and other wireless devices with GPS receivers have loaded therein a Buddy Watch application that communicates with a remote Buddy Watch Server. The server gets or maintains position data for the wireless devices. When the server receives a request from a first device to set up a position-sharing relationship between it and a second device, the server calculates a path between the devices and transmits the path to each device. One or both users can then approach the other along the path. During this process, the server can receive updated position data from one or both devices, and if necessary recalculate the path based on the updated data.

The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically terminating the position-sharing relationship. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving an interval from one of the first device and the second device and automatically terminating the position-sharing relationship after the interval. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising automatically terminating the position-sharing relationship at a designated time. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving the designated time from one of the first and second users. 13. The method of claim 1 carried out on a server executing non-transitory computer-readable instructions. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising publishing the first and second position data to a third user. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising publishing the first and second position data on a map displayed on the first device, wherein the publishing depicts the first and second users on the map and identifies a buddy relationship between the first and second users. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing information indicative of a relationship between the first user and the second user. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the relationship is a buddy relationship. 18. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing information designating a fixed or moving target, associating a label with the target, and transmitting the label to at least one of the first and second devices. 19. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing information designating a fixed or moving target, associating a picture with the target, and transmitting the picture to at least one of the first and second devices. 20. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing information designating a fixed or moving target, associating a pointer to a camera file with the target, and transmitting content from the camera file to at least one of the first and second devices. 21. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing information designating a fixed or moving target, associating a message with the target, and transmitting the message to at least one of the first and second devices. 22. The method of claim 1, further comprising relating the first and second devices responsive to the request to establish the position-sharing relationship. 23.
