Location Tracker: I would say Linkshells having a "GPS" of sorts could be considered canon. If you go to your linkshell menu in game, it has the zone of each person online in your linkshell. So I don't see why this Game Mechanic couldn't be translated into an RP or story thing. No one would be able to pinpoint your exact location (that sounds like satellites to me) but you could get a general zone or region off of a character in your linkshell sure, why not?

Visual Feedback: To me, this sounds a little out of reach for Eorzean linkshells. However, it doesn't sound at all farfetched if combined or enhanced with Garlean technology. Definitely sounds like something that could come out of the Garlond Ironworks. Regular linkshells on their own, probably not so much. Remember Eorzea is pretty primitive/savage compared to other parts of the world. The airship was a fairly recent invention in Eorzea, and it was only possible through stealing Garlean tech. 

Telepathy: Eh... maybe. Gotta agree this one seems a bit of a stretch. A linkshell is just a magically imbued shell that when sound waves vibrate within it, it carries that sound to all of its sister pearls by some means that is not specific. The key to it is it has to have sound waves. Kinda like when you put a real world spiral seashell up to your ear you can hear the ocean. Otherwise your linkpearl would pick up all the thoughts you don't necessarily want to broadcast to your fellows. "Gods, this Sounsyy chick is such an idiot! ...Oh sorry, did I think that outloud?"
