Pinkerton Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Its 2017 we can do pretty much everything with our phones. Thanks to the wonders of GPS one of those things is send a location. I think we should be able to send our location to a phone number, when the receiver gets the message with the sender's location they should be able to see it on their map. This prevents the issue of people not knowing how to give directions and emulates a feature available on just about any smartphone on the market. Link to comment
Chapman Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I like the idea of being able to say text a person with your location and such location could have a GPS marker placed on the other person's map, given the player uses a command to share said location. It's already available is today's social media. Link to comment
Marissa Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I actually love this idea as someone who is still not too familiar with the map. Link to comment
Natasha Valentine Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Wonderful idea, would be a great way to travel along this huge map to meet up with your friends, and you're right it is 2017 #Approved. Link to comment
YWard Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The code is already somehow in the game, with /taxi feature, it can be slightly rewritten to set the GPS to your friend's map instead of the taxi driver's, supporting. Link to comment
Doakes Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Supporting, but perhaps it'd be better to require the recipient's consent before marking anything on the map. Additionally, when receiving a new location, previous location blips shall be removed to prevent confusion. Edited October 27, 2017 by Doakes Link to comment
Nervous Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 It's kind of tricky as it can be used a lot for powergaming/metagaming. PD already has this system with /panic and it is very restricted to avoid abuses and considered powerfuL. Link to comment
PandaGaming Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Please give us this function, it’ll be reaalllllly realistic. Link to comment

Ideally it would have a cooldown and from outward appearances look like you're sending a text so that people around you could notice it. It would look suspicious if someone was texting mid-robbery ect. Link to comment
Lionhearted Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't see how it would be metagaming if it's possible in real life? Open up messenger and you can send your location to friends, I'd support this! Link to comment
