context_page_description: GeoSMS is a specification for geotagging SMS messages. It works by embedding locations in the message text, where the locations are formatted as 'geo' URIs as defined in RFC 5870.
  It was developed in 2010 by Matthew Kwan, a PhD Candidate at the RMIT School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences and should not be confused with the Open GeoSMS standard.
context_section_description: A simple geotagged SMS might look like:
  I'm at the pub geo:-37.801631,144.980294;u=10
  which would contain the message I'm at the pub and a location with latitude 37.801631 degrees south, longitude 144.980294 degrees east, and an uncertainty of (+ or -) 10 metres.
  Messages using GeoSMS can also contain multiple locations, for example:
  I'll be at the pub geo:-37.801631,144.980294;u=10 until midnight, then heading to a gig geo:-37.864225,144.97294
  which contains two locations.
