Send Position - not just Request Position

Open Ferretdog opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Long-press on a node allows me to request a position update, but there is no way for me to send my position manually. The iphone app allows the opposite I believe - it allows us to send but not request.

I would like to be able to manually send my location from the app.

Sending to the default channel is ... ok ... but being able to send it as a message direct to a contact, or to a secondary would be 1000x better. Perhaps it could be a button inside the chat with that channel/contact, almost like a type of quick chat? Or there could be a an option when generating a quick chat to have that text include your current location (a toggle when making the quick chat).

Eg, Quick Chat: "I am here: " [Instantly send] [+ location]

They both do the same thing, send your position and request a response.

They do? That wasn't clear to me at all. Thanks.

What if I want to update my own location without updating that of another node?

The other position updates are sent without requesting a response
