Android software for getting a riders location and distance completed

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have tried a few android applications and also paid for some e.g. Runtastic to map my ride etc. Since I acquired a Garmin Edge, I now have no more use for mapping my ride, but between family members we do like to see where each of us are during a ride. So for that requirement something like Glympse works 100% but my problem is that I would also like to see both the location as well as the km's the person has done. The reason for this is that riding for e.g. at Red Barn or Avianto one is never much further than 4-5km from the starting point and thus cannot see how far that person is with their planned route of say 40km's. 

 

Does anyone know of an app that posts both the location and km's via a set interval?

 

Thanks in advance.

What my girlfriend uses to see where I'm during a long ride or race is Familonet. She can request live tracking of my phone, speed, heading, and location on the map.

You however do need a internet connection, and gps function on for it to work, this does drain the battery.

 

Is this what you are looking for?

Endomondo has this, your friends can see your training live, position, distance, etc. not sure how well it works these days though. My guess is Strava will have this feature too? But as has been said, they all use a lot of battery.

I'm also using Endomondo for my wife to see how far and where I am, but a Garmin Edge on the bike to record the ride.

Agree with endomondo, when I go out on my own I let my peeps know so they at least know where to send the search party.
