I have become interested in live tracking firstly so that my whereabouts is known on my walks. Now, I should be pleased to see someone's location from day to day on a pilgrim's way in Spain. We set up live tracking on Locus Map at More functions/Live tracking and could 'see' each other successfully at our respective homes. Spain is different: rightly or wrongly, I found myself needing to know his approximate location or having to zoom out so far, and having to download an online map of that area so that I could 'see' him (I appreciate I could import OSM mapping for Spain, for example). I tried GPSies through Locus Map next and appreciated immediately the ease with which users are 'seen' or could be selected from a list, even. Quite by chance, I discovered Live Tracking at
http://www.locusmap.eu/live-tracking/. This seemed easiest of all. Furthermore, a very small-scale map displays to show all users at once. I had read about live tracking at
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:live_tracking, but no apparent reference to this web facility surprised me.
I wished to test the facility today on my walk. I had Wi-Fi switched off, I had a 4G network showing and the signal was 3/4 or 4/4 bars yet I received a note stating, "Unknown problem Problem with internet connection! Java.io.IOException: NetworkError code:11303". I gave up after some time and switched from Locus Map to GPSies on my 'phone. I asked my wife to 'see' me through m.gpsies.com and she could! I should be grateful if someone could inform me if there are faults with what I have done so far.
