[Function] Live Tracking Test Service

[gynta]

If you want to test the function "Live tracking" in Locus?

1. Send me a PM* with a nickname and you will receive a userID in my answer.
(If you are not allowed to send PM, tell me your interest here in this thread and i will contact you)

2. Setup Locus Pro: http://locus.oldboys.at/help.htm

3. Start Live tracking to send some points to the server.
- don't forget to allow mobile data transfer on your phone.
- be sure you have an GPS SATfix
- Locus does not send data, if the GPS position is not changed.

4. Login on http://locus.oldboys.at with your nick and userID and see your position/track...
.

Hi Al,
welcome in this forum.
No, the problem is that users with very few posts are expected to participate more before they are allowed to PM

What can you see/do on the c-me webpage?

- After login you will see your last known position in the center of the map:

- Enter your buddy's nickname, choose a color and a zoomlevel.
(your friend must be a registred user too and must already have sent his position)

- See your last position OR your 100 last stored trackpoints.

- If your buddy has allowed - you also can see his last 100 trackpoints too.

- Save the settings for your next visit.

- The c-me web page refreshes automatically every 90 seconds.

- Export your own track as kml

- Clear all stored trackspoints

- Create a guestlogin for your family or friends

- experimentally: If your buddy wants to see your current position inside his Locus App - send him a small POI to import

Restrictions
- Only 100 stored trackpoints was displayed.

new: change mapcenter: center map @ your buddy and follow him...

[gynta]

track export to *.kml (google earth) works now.

[gynta]

alternate "track line"-view now active on the website client.

Is there the way to make a public link for this service to share my location with anybody?

[gynta]

each registered user can see you.
...if you want.

[gorch]

Yes, but I'am saying about any user, registered or not. Is the way to see my location for anybody if I publish a link in my blog for example? Now one have to log in with my credentials anyway.

[gynta]

A "light version" is a good idea.
A viewing page without any functions.
And if you have allowed in your settings other people can you see in...
..ah russia

i will create this in the next update...

edit
Implemented...

[shushuk]

Yes that would be helpful, especially when your friend, family or whoever uses a smartphone!

[menion]

yes .. and Gynta, you should also this about sharing KML with Network Link, that will display friends around you (with some refresh timeout, 1 min for example)
