After loading the Google Maps website, right-click on the location that you wish to share and click on the "What's Here?" button.

A green pin will drop onto the Map. Clicking this arrow will give you the coordinate information for the area you've right-clicked on. If there is an address associated with the location, it will appear in the bubble when you click on the green arrow. To share this location, click More > Send.

A new dialog will appear, allowing you to select between the different send options: Email, Phone (text message), Car, and GPS. On the Phone tab, you will be able to specify a number that will send a text message to the phone containing a link to open the mobile maps application and present the same view.

When the the text message is sent, it will include a link to the map. If the person you're sending the message to has an iPhone, the link will automatically open the Maps application to the location you selected in the web version of Google Maps.

You can also drop a pin on the iPhone version of Maps to get the location information. To do this, tap once and hold your finger on the location until a purple pin drops. Once this happens, you can tap on the blue arrow to get more information about the location where you dropped the pin.

On this detailed information screen, tap on the "Share Location" button at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to share the location via Email or Text Message (SMS).

A dialog window will pop up from the bottom of the screen, giving you two sharing options: Email or SMS text message. Tapping on either one will open a compose window for the message type you selected.
