Ping family members

[Elyld]

An option to ping family members to force update their location.

I have members that show their location unrestricted but it doesnt update their actual location sometimes for hours. A way to have it live update, or to force update their location would be great

+1 for this one @Freika - Perhaps with a cooldown so it cant be spammed to preserve batteyr life.

If the location hasn't been updated in x minutes (admin configurable), show a button that requests the current location from the family member.

It could (and this is further dev work) allow a toggle so that if a family member requests an update - it can either only update the person who has requested it, or upload all points that have yet to be uploaded plus a current point for the time the request was made? Not sure if that would be best placed as a per user setting or per instance setting.

Google Maps offers a simialr update feature when sharing locations.

Cheers!
