How about we just use our own system based on data from the FG prop tree.
We already have the google map servers , so all we would need to do is get
other people to host their own too and become controllers for different
areas.
For voip / text we could use a secondary app which would run on Win , Linux &
Mac or develop our own.
It would save heaps of legal issues .
Ok it would maybe need some fine tuning but we're all good at that here :)
