If anything else is required let me know.
Assuming the other person will also have your app installed, you could create a BroadcastReceiverwhich would respond to the android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED action. The receiver should implement onReceive, detect if the message originated from your application (use some special key in the message body i guess?), extract the message and originating phone number from the extras in the received Intent, then trigger a location listener which would then send an SMS back...
The same BroadcastReceiver could also detect if the message has latitude/longitude in it, store the coordinates in some persistent storage, and send a broadcast intent to tell your MapActivity to update it's map with the new coordinates...
