It would be cute seeing like the character heads on the map where they are currently located (if on the same channel as them), but now that the friend list has been expanded so much, it could look very very cluttered on the map with all the current location icons.   For this reason I think Greck's suggestion is better.   Even then, it's laregly unecessary. Can just send a 'where u at?' and knowing where everyone is at all times could get stalker-y.
