Live loc share doesn’t show you your own location #814

Your use case

What would you like to do?

When someone is locsharing at you, there is no way to tell where /you/ are on the map.

Why would you like to do it?

So you can meet up with people who are locsharing at you.

How would you like to achieve it?

Show me on the map, even if i’m not the one locsharing.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Nope; this just got missed in dev, but is painfully obvious when yout try to use the feature in earnest.

Additional context

Relaying based on anecdote from @turt2live

Are you willing to provide a PR?

No

Further context: was in a literal field. Would have been nice to see where we are in relation to the person we're meeting up with
