See location in a message
When I include a location in a message, there should be a way to use a command/syntax that makes it so that everyone can see the location I sent within the message for example "/hq/ everything is all quiet" People can see that I am at HQ

Provide a default map-scale preference setting for group location map
When I switch between groups, my map scale reverts back to world even though it is a pedestrian neighborhood group. This quickly becomes a nuisance time waster.
On the page where a group's location is set, there should be a way to also set the default map scale view for the group. This would be especially useful when, for example, switching between a local group and a parent wide-area group for the whole city.

Custom Base Maps
If I am a teacher and work in a school, can I upload my blueprint to GeoChat and custom tag every room and gathering point. Teachers can be in multiple groups, but in terms of security, if there is an active shooter or emergency, you can view what part of the school a teacher and students are in

You can achieve this today by:
1) Creating all the custom locations (building names, numbers etc) under the groups’ properties.
2) If you think that existing base maps aren’t enough (see http://tinyurl.com/yzqp9yn for an example) you can add your own KML layer with a more detailed blueprint. One challenge to keep in mind is buildings with many floors; you can be pragmatic and choose custom location names that reflect that.

Disable website visibility for a group
Some groups are setup for use for by external applications via the API. I would like to set a flag for a group that won't allow anybody (but the owners) to see the group on the website view when they login.
This allows the applications using the APIs to control their own security and visibility of data.1 vote -

Structure GeoChat data - so it can be tracked, archived
We have heard this request before, but today from Ghana/Alex we heard it again that, for GeoChat inputs to be more useful, they need to be structured, managed and archived and viewed aggregately on a map. This use case (not the first one we are pursuign with them) is to have people below subdistrict level send in health reports over SMS.

Have a way to contact someone who has asked to join a group you own
Right now, if someone asks to join a group I own, I can't contact them and find out who they are, ask them questions - or tell them the purpose of the group and clarify it was a mistake. MJ

Require users give their location
Ghana/Alex cares so much about location that they want it to be a prompted message or some sort of requirement. For instance, "what is your address?" He also mentioned a big issue is mispelling location so having a village code system would help. We have not identified a specific pilot yet for this feature so I am not sure we want to implement it yet until there is a concrete scenario. (MJ)

Accept position updates from SPOT Trackers
SPOT Trackers (www.findmespot.com) are devices that integrate a GPS with a satellite transceiver so you can publish your location via email and SMS and an associated OK, HELP or 911 message; and optionally sign up for evacuation insurance.
This feature would allow users of SPOT trackers that are under the satellite coverage areas to update their geochat position by pressing the OK or the HELP button.

Support Iridium Satellite messages
Iridium networks support sending messages for free from their website, and the phones can send SMS/emails. However these MO messages are formatted in a way that creates problems for GeoChat. Suggest you add ways of supporting these messages to help Iridium users outside of cell coverage stay in touch

Alert a phone number from a Local Gateway after NN messages sent
I would like to enter my personal phone number in the local gateway as an administrator and set an alert after N messages have been sent; to be able to recharge the credit on the gateway SIM proactively instead of guessing when or waiting for it to fail.

Set and Access Customized Messages
It would be great to be able to send customized messages in response to user requests. FrontlineSMS does this as a "keyword" option, but does not allow remote definition of the messages. The purpose is to extend the amount of information available to users without having to broadcast everything to everyone. Examples of idea:
define Jos_alert = "Protests scheduled for 11Nov. Use caution"
define travel_alert = "Road between Miango and Vom blocked by conflict"
Then the command "#info travel_alert" would return
"Road between Miango and Vom blocked by conflict (3 Oct 14:05)"0 votes
