Starting LiveTrack Sharing

CAUTION

It is the responsibility of the user to use discretion when sharing location information with others. Always ensure you are aware of and comfortable with whom you share your location information.

Before you can start sharing, you must set up the LiveTrack feature (Setting Up LiveTrack Sharing and Inviting Viewers).

You can start sharing your LiveTrack data using your Garmin DriveTrack™ device or the Smartphone Link app.

  • On your Garmin DriveTrack device, select Apps > LiveTrack > Start LiveTrack.
  • On your smartphone, open the Smartphone Link app, and select LiveTrack > Start LiveTrack.

A link to view your LiveTrack data is posted to your enabled social network accounts, and an email with the link is sent to your invited contacts. While you are sharing, viewers can click the link to track your current location, recently visited locations, and the path of your recent travels in real time.

Livetrack appears in the Garmin DriveTrack status bar while LiveTrack sharing is active. The number of invited viewers also appears.

TIP: By default, the LiveTrack sharing session ends automatically after 24 hours. In the Smartphone Link app, you can select LiveTrack > Extend LiveTrack to extend the duration of the LiveTrack sharing session, or you can stop sharing at any time.
