Enhancement: Send projected, labelled marker by tapping in map

[Kollensperger]

would it be possible to implement sending a location on the map, as a named marker displayed on the map, without having a device at that specific location? It would be great to be able to e.g define a common meeting point that appears on everyone’s map without having to be at that point already.

This is surely a ton of work but would be a useful addition at some point in the future

I think the first question would be where to store the positions in the protobufs.

Sounds like @Kollensperger 's request is to be able to send out location waypoints. That can likely be a variant of the message payload. No need to go lower level than that and its persistence can be treated like a received message.

So could we just have an optional position on a message payload? This would allow me to only send one packet for the location pin feature.

Oh, that's a possibility and would be even more elegant than what I was thinking.

Let me take a look at the protos later today. This should be easy.

This is fully implemented on device now, can be sent from messages on iOS and can be received in the webui

will i be able to send list of markers to other users via waypoint ? Do I need to fix the firmware of the device and proto for this?

[garthvh]

They are individual packets like messages, there is no centralized list at this time.
