Suggestion Title: Maps app locations
Suggestion Description: Add a search - dropdown list to the 'Maps' phone app with a list of all zoned locations. Selecting a location then pressing 'Navigate' will display a red dot on that location on your phone if visible, otherwise will display an arrow pointing in the direction of that location.
Why should this be added?:
- Significantly improves the early-game experience for new and semi-new players, and even experienced players when looking for obscure roads and locations.
- Encourages new players to explore the map by themselves and take it at their own pace without being forced into the help chat for help with guidance - which often is not particularly useful other than describing other unknown landmarks nearby.
- Would help newer emergency and city services find locations easier, increasing efficiency in the city and reducing issues caused by a new paramedic/firefighter/roadcrew's lack of map knowledge.
- Helps to reduce the often bewildering and confusing experience of completely new players having no bearings by giving landmarks to refer to.
What negatives could this have?:
- None as far as I can tell. The development base already exists in the form of the Dispatch Map, this would just need retrofitting to search for locations.
