Quite new to meshcore, so here goes: What do you do regarding position sharing? The approach I followed was set a location close by and share it in adverts. I assume this can be helpful to others and keep me mostly private. Most users seem to not share their position, then there's also the option of sharing your exact location from the GPS. Would love to hear your opinions on this and the reasoning behind. I have a lot to learn!

Just set it to what you prefer.

EDIT: Also, location gets more interesting for repeaters and room servers to get an idea of coverage and link reliability.

That's not a good solution for all use cases.

I understand the desire to disconnect the phones GPS from the companions built in GPS, or lack thereof.

But there should be a button to at least grab the phone's GPS and inject it into a message. None of my companions have GPS. And if you're camping with a group, which was my most recent use case, it would be nice.

Doubly so if you're using client repeat mode to mimic meshtastic.

Feature creep is real, and I'm not saying it has to happen immediately. But eventually, yes, I think a properly fully featured app would include this type of thing.
