Auto Start LiveTrack - not functioning

are you still experiencing problems? i updated to the laster software version last week and i'm still experiencing problems 

Garmin Live Track feature has been a joke so far with my IOS.   Although it is not a joke since part of the reason I spent the big dollars is for that feature.   Garmin you should be ashamed.  I am tech savvy and it is set up properly.   It works maybe 25% of the time.  Even when ensuring at the start that the phone is connected device, etc.

Mine has not worked for months. Also, why do I have to choose between my Fenix 3 or edge 1000? Surely it can detect which device I’ve started a session with ? Very poor 

I always have the Connect app running on my iOS-based phone and I currently have a 100% failure rate for LiveTrack to automatically start, whether I have Strava Beacon integration configured or not.  Fenix 5 with the latest 13.30 update, latest release iOS for iPhone 7 and latest Connect app 

Frankly, this is a safety issue because we all assume this will work. For me, at least, I want it to  send something to my safety contacts to let them track my location during an activity. When it does not, Garmin is putting me at risk. 

How do we troubleshoot this? Seriously. People are trying toggling settings on and off seemingly randomly and sometimes they work.. but, where is Garmin's FAQ for how to narrow down the issue, or an admission that it does not work and they're working on it. 

Tell us it is broken and not to use it. At least that's better than leaving it configured, hoping it will work and seeing the dreaded "LiveTrack Failed" alert during my activity.  That just makes me angry, and I am not alone. Not by a long shot.   Any tech support person who tells you that your LiveTrack issue is "just you" is not telling you the truth. The "feature" is a mess. 

I am new on 1030 and I am wondering about the "random live track" - so here I can read that I am not alone. Thanks.

GARMIN: Please fix that issue! FAST.

With the latest version of Connect I see that Live Track is now starting almost every time automatically every time I start an activity. Every second time it starts with an delay of about 8 minutes.

I thought it runs stable trough an activity but yesterday Connect crashed as during an activity.

So it seems Garmin did something about it, but they did not resolve all the bugs around this functionality.

As it behaves now it’s still not reliable.

I swear this works barely 50% of the time. It's obvious Garmin hasn't prioritized making these features reliable at all considering the number of posts. I shouldn't have to go through a cycle of turning bt, wifi, device, "on/off" reconnecting, re-installing, rebooting, while pedalling with only 1 foot backwards to get it to work. Absolutely unacceptable. It also means incident detection is probably just as worthless as well - so what's the point of these features if they aren't even supported properly? Edge 830 v3.5.0 and iOS latest version.

After a couple of activities with the latest version of GC it‘s just frustrating to see that Garmin does nothing to fix this functionality. If it starts (at all 50%) automatically, it starts delayed by around 8 minutes. All the times the app crashed during the activity and Livetrack stopped.

Dear Garmin please fix existing functionalities with a high priority instead of working on new products to frustrate new clients with buggy firmware. That’s not a way to build a solid customer relationship.

I too had a problem but have found that by going into location services and setting it to “always” - not just while using app it’s worked consistently
