It would be nice to have the map follow the active player.

TacControl doesn't know where you are. Its intended to not allow "magic" blue force tracking, but I can add the Feature to follow a GPS Tracker.

Do you plan on adding a personal gps device then? I only found the "explosive" that is used for vehicles.

not currently planned. But would be nice to have defintiely.

Maybe you can use the ace microdagr as a gps tracking item?

If you do add this feature it would be nice to filter out people and have an option to only see group team leads or make it so you can manually group people up and filter through the groups.

@SekiAlpha TacControl only takes what is on your map, it might be easier to handle the blueforce tracking directly ingame. In our configuration (pretty standard I think) only group leaders are shown on the map and that is exactly what you see on TacControl

Well thats left to your group then. Only give leaders GPS items then.

Yes, it would be nice if I could do that, however in my unit we use CTAB for BLUEFOR tracking. Either way, I'd like there to be a method to track people using tac control and manually group them up. It would be a powerful feature that most BLUEFOR trackers don't have.
