You can also easily add you own points, which is what you probably end up using a lot. "I'm Home now", "Still at the Office". It's a one time tap/enter name to add these, and these are the ones you probably end up using a lot.
(Not really related, but: Also usually the app is pretty good at picking up the correct landmark even without GPS (from the inexact cellid location), so you can just forget about it, send your text and automatically also share your location.)
Regarding the cheating girlfriends, we let the user select any point she wants. This is by design, this is not a tracking application but a communication tool. For example sometimes you know your mother will not be familiar with the closest automatically selected landmark, and can easily select another one.
It's not about exact location (going all psychological: there is not exact location, ever), it's about human understandable location.
Currently it doesn't work backwards. On a concept level, we want to think maps suck and landmarks rule. On a technical level, this is something we may well implement. (Sidenote: I guess the view with the landmark points can also be considered a "Map", and that we definitely could want to show on the receiving end.)
Thanks for your positive words! This is version 1.0 in terms of marketing texts and everything, so the journey for this app is just beginning.
