I don't like the nature of it.

I went out walking and wild camping for a few days recently, in areas of not much signal. I usually check in with family as I move about when I do these things, with location and updated plans, and I was surprised that my brother recommended it to me. He said it's becoming quite popular in search and rescue applications.

As it goes I did what I normally do an just pin my location on WhatsApp when I get a bit of signal, but in the right (wrong) circumstances I could see it being a good way to quickly convey location.

I can also see numerous issues with it.

But it made me think maybe there are applications, beyond navigation where it might be useful.

I'll keep an eye on this project anyway, I hope it survives.
