Hmmm… If we are talking about voluntary and intentional sharing of location via secure means, as in user can switch it off (there is always kill switch if nothing else)… I was thinking a “stupider” older systems, where messages were just SMS-text (it would still be a valid and useful method for some usecases, to be able to easily send location info to any phone, but I digress), which did not require servers as such. So, developing on that: could there be a way to send (once or automatically with selected interval), a similarly formatted location message (with formatted map link to openstreetmap and puremaps [and gmap too, just for those without alternative]) via Jami or any other distributed message system?
Would this be possible, usable and secure (enough, for the limited usecase)? (Geofence and other features would be later development.)
