Looks like SMSLoc can remote query the location of a friend, using SMS as a transport.
I have not tried this one.
It appears you can whitelist certain phone numbers to query your location.
So i suppose it's not encrypted? But thanks i'll check this out!

You could possible hack the code to add a strong crypto wrapper to the data stream.
