What is Live Location Sharing?
Live location sharing broadcasts your real-time position to selected contacts:
- Friends can follow your progress on a map
- Automatic updates as you move
- No app required for viewers - they use a web link
- Peace of mind for solo adventures
Starting Live Sharing
During an Activity
- Start recording an activity
- Tap the Share button
- Select Share Live Location

Sharing the Link
Send your live location link via:
- SMS/Text message
- WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
- Copy to clipboard
The link works on any device with a web browser - no app needed.
Viewer Experience
When someone opens your link, they see:
- Map with your current position
- Last update time
Battery Considerations
Live sharing uses GPS continuously:
- Increases battery consumption
- Use battery saver mode for long activities
- Bring a portable charger
Tip: "Battery Saver" update frequency significantly extends battery life while still providing regular updates.
