Agreed.

And on top of that, I really don't think stuff like that is all that useful. I seriously can't think of a single use case where it might come in handy.
Well, anything where you might want to meet up with someone, but something prevents effective communication of locations otherwise (such as one (or both) of you isn't familiar with the town you're in), or for keeping a loose convoy together on a road trip. But not as a general thing, and it's probably not real good at the latter use, as it's not what they seem to be envisioning; I'd sooner have separate software (tricked out maemo-mapper or such) just for those few situations.
