I was thinking, something that could massively help people find places and people when they use the crisis alert program or a medical implant is to introduce a built in PDA mapping function.
Instead of it being coordinate based, like GPS systems are, it would be based on a grid system. So you'd divide the map into sections that are, say, 20x20 tiles, and assign them a letter and number based on their general X and Y positions. Then, from your PDA screen, you'd be able to see what grid you were currently in at all times from one of the upper corners of the PDA screen.
So for instance, if you're in grid section A5 and you get an alert in section G7, you'd know that the alert location was roughly southeast of you.
