I’m looking at building a simple app based around location. Obviously given that lots of people don’t have access to smartphones etc, I’m trying to figure out a way to allow them to text in their address/location details to an automated system that will locate them on Google Maps. Is this possible? And if it is possible, is it possible to also automate a system that will then send that location and data to a third party (either via 3g, wifi or SMS)?

    It sounds like you are talking about Google SMS‘s maps command.

    You send an SMS to 466453 (“GOOGLE” on most devices) and if you had texted

    map 5th avenue new york

    you’d get back

    Map: 5th Ave, New York
    http://m.google.com/u/x195Ag

    Taping that link brings you to a google maps of that address (though in safari, not the google maps app).
