Hello,



ViewRanger comes with a feature called buddybeacon which allows to share in real time your position with other users of the app or onto a web page :



http://www.viewranger.com/buddybeacon/v2/#userbar_top">http://www.viewranger.com/buddybeacon/v2/#userbar_top



I find this last option quite interesting when going out hiking, as the track is persistent. A simple URL is enough to share upfront the webpage with your own buddybeacon, so relatives can quickly locate you in case of problem, even long after your mobile ran out of battery.



When it comes to the moving map feature, I rather prefer Oruxmaps  ;). Would it be possible to add under the integration option a Buddybeacon tab, allowing live tracking?



Thanks,

Breto
