Trying to call a stored variable from one file.cs into another file2.cs

I have found a script to find the GPS location of the user, here’s that code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CurrentLocation : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static string CurrLoc { get; internal set; }

    IEnumerator Start()
    {
        // First, check if user has location service enabled
        if (!Input.location.isEnabledByUser)
            yield break;

        // Start service before querying location
        Input.location.Start();

        // Wait until service initializes
        int maxWait = 20;
        while (Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Initializing && maxWait > 0)
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
            maxWait--;
        }

        // Service didn't initialize in 20 seconds
        if (maxWait < 1)
        {
            print("Timed out");
            yield break;
        }

        // Connection has failed
        if (Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Failed)
        {
            print("Unable to determine device location");
            yield break;
        }
        else
        {
            // Access granted and location value could be retrieved
            string CurrLoc = Input.location.lastData.latitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.longitude;
        }

        // Stop service if there is no need to query location updates continuously
        // Input.location.Stop();
        // Line above commented out because it needs to constantly update.
    }
}

I want to call CurrLoc from CurrentLocation.cs (the code above) into another Menu.cs file into a function, here’s that code:

public void SmsButton()
    {
        string Content = "sms:" + ContNum + "?body=" + WWW.UnEscapeURL(CurrentLocation.CurrLoc);
        Application.OpenURL(Content);
    }

Basically what this will do is actively get the GPS location of the user and the button that calls “SmsButton()” will text the location to a specified contact number. While this does not give any complier errors it doesn’t return any values. How can I accurately call the CurrLoc variable from the CurrentLocation.cs?

Within the Start() method of class CurrentLocation change the line

string CurrLoc = Input.location.lastData.latitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.longitude;

to

CurrLoc = Input.location.lastData.latitude + " " + Input.location.lastData.longitude;

The CurrLoc variable is being redeclared as a local variable inside the Start() method. The public static version does not get assigned and will return the default value, typically a null string.
