1. A method for sharing information related to a current moving path of a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
receiving, by a server, information related to the current moving path of the mobile communication device among a plurality of devices managed by the server as a single group, wherein the information related to the current moving path comprises geographical information;
receiving, by the server, additional information related to the current moving path from the mobile communication device, wherein the additional information comprises image data comprising images captured by the mobile communication device at corresponding locations along the current moving path;
generating, by the server, collective information based on the information related to the current moving path and the additional information related to the current moving path, wherein, in generating the collective information, the images are inserted at the corresponding locations along the current moving path of the geographical information; and
providing, by the server, the collective information to at least one other device of the plurality of devices enabling the at least one other device to display the current moving path of the mobile communication device with the images on a map on a screen of the at least one other device.
