The Live Tracking function by Garmin Connect is a great safety feature because you can track where someone is riding, running or whatever sport someone does.
We are ultra athletes and use this Live track function all the time. But we have discovered that this function is limited in time. I mean, after exactly 24 hours it stops broadcasting. This happened to us during a 650 km cycling tour in one go. Exactly after 24 hours live track was finished, but we were not. We didn't try to restart the tracking because we had a lot of km's to go. But it was quite distressing that the support people weren't able to check on our position.
Q's
1 Do other (ultra) athletes have experienced this?
2 Is our conclusion correct that the live tracking feature is limited to 24 hours?
3 Can this be changed in settings or does Garmin have to change the software?
Best regards,
