Why should such thing be in DC? Isn’t there specialized services for this out there? ---

As you say if there are several apk for this task (Osmand, Google Map), but as it is within DC, that’s why I recommend having it in this apk, so that the service is optimal, based on the idea that it is An innovative apk. ---

You shouldn’t duplicate features when it’s not necessary. Especially when you know that specialized apps suites better for the task. It’s reasonable only to facilitate integration with these apps. ---

If it can be an option, the integration, what that way you get out of the DC application, but if it is not possible what I mostly put at least, something could be done, I will continue to use it anyway because it is fluid and I Messaging results, since my data connection is through a business proxy. ---

The current map is no core feature of DC and will get replaced anyway by a more privacy friendly map in the future like openstreetmap. At the moment were using mapbox because it was easy to implement for prototyping the feature. The location streaming feature on the other hand is a core feature of DC… Anyways thanks for sharing your Ideas regarding the map we can use those when searching for/developing a replacement for mapbox 👍 > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > A button to set your location on the map No sure what you mean by that, do you mean setting fake locations? or a button to see your current gps location without sharing it? > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > Several layers of maps, or at least satellite. Nice idea, but where do we (legally) get good satelite maps? (Even better when we could get them free and opensource ) > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > When you select a message with location to show it on the map. Having a show on map button when having a message with location selected would be a nice feature, I agree > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > When you delete the message, delete the mark on the map. note: You can only delete messages for yourself on your account, you can’t delete them that the others don’t have them anymore. It’s not possible with email. And also on other services like whatsapp and telegram you could always make a screenshot before it’s deleted, so there isn’t really a point to it anyway… IMHO. Maybe we can offer a feature when all people in a group have dc to withdraw mesages but you can’t really delete them, because there isn’t a central server that controls the app on all devices. Anyway discussing ‘deleting’ (while we’re already at it also editing) messages is a topic for a dedicated forum topic. > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > The transmission of the default location, after marking on-demand location Sending a chosen location as attachment should be an option, I agree. > [@Jordanysutil](#): > > Notification when location information is obtained Not sure what you mean by that. Could you explain? ---

A button to set your location on the map In the case of the button to see my location I mean when you browse the map to find the other users who have sent you their geolocation, it is more effective, recover your location again just by clicking on the button and not browsing all the map until you are. Several layers of maps, or at least satellite. > **[Mapas offline en Android con OpenStreetMap y la librería MapsForge | Alberto...](https://alberto.mendezcabrera.com/mapas-offline-en-android-con-openstreetmap-y-la-libreria-mapsforge/)** > > En este artículo vamos a ver cómo integrar mapas offline en nuestra aplicación gracias a OpenStreetMap y la librería MapsForge. > > Los mapas offline nos permiten mostrar al > **[Principales librerías y APIs para web mapping](http://www.geomapik.com/webmapping-gis/librerias-api-web-mapping-javascript/)** > > ¿Qué es el web mapping?

Hoy te vamos a contar de 3 Just to mention a few examples, I hope you can find more examples on the subject. Mapbox itself I think has several layers. When you delete the message, delete the mark on the map. With regard to eliminating the message and the brand of the map, I apologize and the application does, but on my mobile it takes a bit or it seems to me that it is delayed (Android 5.01) hence the suggestion. The transmission of the default location, after marking the location on demand With respect to the location I also recommend that the user set a time to update their location, DC every so often requests the activation of the GPS update the location and uses it until the next update as your location, (if it is not active all the time) That way you always have a location available and you should not wait until you get the location by GPS / data / Wi-Fi in case it is lost or delayed in obtaining it. Notification when location information is obtained Recently I was testing the option on-demand location on a friend’s cell phone, to tell her the good thing about the application, but it didn’t show her location in DC, so I thought the mobile didn’t have that function or that DC as I was testing it was not fully operational, not knowing if I received the location or not, so I had to go to the settings and other options of the mobile until I managed to show the location in DC, usually shown in the mobile status bar but if you don’t do it as I know, I attached a photo of how Osmand does it with the suggestion. ![Screenshot_2019-08-09-11-02-11](https://support.delta.chat/uploads/default/original/1X/05f0270a18d86cd6a99ae6924d28ca210bf18f5d.png) > **[Support map fragment | Maps SDK | Android](https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/examples/support-map-fragment/)** > > Include a map fragment within your app using Android support library. ---

I had an issue with the maps stuff in delta, for some users the marks I sent where not show in their map, also seems like the location of other users where not shown to them (they could see the map but no mark/poi or location icons) ---
