🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Develop an offline-first mode that caches location data locally and syncs when a connection is restored.
  2. Integrate with satellite messaging hardware to transmit location pings in remote areas.
  3. Create a peer-to-peer mesh networking feature that allows devices to relay location data to each other via Bluetooth.
