Curious what apps are available with an option to put another user onto a GPS map. I seem to remember this being available and would be great for turn by turn but I doubt Meamo maps or Sygic do this. I had a situation a few weeks ago where I was trying to get to my wife and she was having trouble describing her location.
I had thought this was somehow linked to the location as status for IM in Maemo5, I haven't had the opportunity to test this though.

Quick reply...
Bumping because I am curious about the idea, too, and do not know an answer.
Best wishes.

Hey, in case you are using XMPP, you can publish your geolocation when you set availability to online. I have never used it though, so I have no idea if another use with an N900 can see the user on a map or route to that particular location or if this user can even see the location published.

Try it and report back!
