LiveLocationsBot

A bot that sends a live location and updates it periodically until the user cancels.

Functionality

On /start, the bot sends a live location message with an inline Cancel button. A coroutine then updates the location every 3 seconds with a slightly changing coordinate. When the user presses Cancel the update loop is stopped and the live location is closed.
