!OpenGeoSMS is a simple format for encoding Latitude & Longitude into a text message (SMS/Email/Twitter).

It sends as a !GoogleMaps URL:
* The !LatLon can be manually copied to a GPS, if the recipient is on a non-!SmartPhone or has no Internet access from that location.
* If they have a !SmartPhone then they can click on the URL to see the location being discussed on a map
* If they have the Android application then they can get additional functionality to support Incident Reporting, Task Dispatch & peer to peer Team Communications ("I am here", "Where are you?", "Where shall we meet?")

* {{{msg.prepare_opengeosms(self, location_id, code="S", map="google", text="")}}}
 * S = Sahana
