It would be really nice to be able to open a family member’s location in a mapping app in order to start a route to them. On Android, this can be accomplished with a geo:latitude,longitude link. On iPhone, a maps://?ll=latitude,longitude link will open apple maps and a comgooglemaps://?q=latitude,longitude will open google maps. I think just a normal [https://www.google.com/maps?q=latitude,longitude](https://www.google.com/maps?q=latitude,longitude) or a [https://maps.apple.com/?ll=latitude,longitude](https://maps.apple.com/?ll=latitude,longitude) will also work. I am not sure the best way to implement which link should be provided. Maybe adding a setting that users can choose would be best.
