I've been trying to find something similar that works on iPhone, but haven't been successful. The apps I've found either allows someone to text their location to others easily, or requires the person to click a link or do so some other action in response to a text message requesting their location.
So in brief, I need an app that will:
-use SMS only for communication
-return gps coordinates
-require no interaction on the user's part.
Does such a thing exist?

You might be able to configure Glympse to send coordinates back via SMS. There are apps for both android and iOS.
I am not sure if you can set up an auto-reply to SMS on an iPhone. I thought you could.
