I've tried in a few locations to drop items, yet friends are not able to see them to pick them up. Do they take time to appear? Do users need to reload data to see these items?
I’ve dropped items for friends. Why are they not appearing on the map

I don't know true rate of map refresh, but in my inner feeling it's about 20-30 seconds or a bit more. Otherwise, it will be much more energy eating app.
Most efficient way to make items exchange: one, who will pick items will close application, other will drop all items he want and then only first player login, receiving latest map update and pick dropped items.
