GROUP TRACK DOESN'T WORK.

Sam201176 over 3 years ago

I've followed all the procedures I can see using livetrack enabled on both watches... Visable to connections in connect.... We get "livetrack" activated... then no group track symbol in the top arc is ever displayed, or the other persons location on the map...

Does this work with hike?.... Or is it just for run and bike?... Has anyone got this working?...

Thankyou...

I've messed around with it quite a bit, read all the articles and such about it, but I've never gotten it to work.

Same here, I tried using Trail and Ultratrail without success. My friends were not visible on the map screen.

Like you, I wonder if it's just for run or bike activities.

I did try again today when I had the time... I managed for the first time to get it working on bike and run and briefly hike.. then it all stopped working again.....

Still it was my best attempt yet..... I managed to see my partners marker with her initial, and a red octogon briefly before connection to group track failed... She also saw me on her watch... (still had connection to phone and connect).... Seems a bit hit N miss to me..... I need to test further...

Thanks for your reply : -)

Thanks for the link, I've read it before, but still couldn't get group track to work at all.... Now after playing a bit today it seems I can get it to work briefly or sometimes..... Cheers : -)

I managed to quickly capture a screenshot, although it's not great.. it does give me some idea of what to expect... you get the person's name on your watch when you enter a new sub menu of connections on the watch.... Also on the map screen you get the name, location and symbol, and distance displayed.
