Location Sharing ideas

[TheBeadster]

some ideas on location sharing.
to reduce/control battery drain.

1. add an option to allow a location request. This is so if we don't need constant updates but need to locate the contact we can request a location, this saves on battery. only available if the contact has enabled permission
2. use the telemetry system to get instant up dates for fast moving action, this could be a toggle and works with the normal time restrictions , if the unit is not on a battery the power use isn't a issue.

also
give the option to see the lat/long of a contact, and a button to add it to the clipboard. the reason for this is when there is no internet for maps and none are downloaded then the lat/long can be used on a normal GPS, people in the outdoors who may be using the mesh for off grid comms will probably have a normal GPS with downloaded maps, like a Garmin this will make it easier to see a location visually.

thanks

To 1.: Constant running Reticulum is consuming at my experience more battery then constant running GNSS chip on a modern phone.

To 2.: This would be flooding the RF spectrum all the time. In general something you try to avoid.
