Live track question

I read a few posts about Live track not working. I don't use it since I have been using the RoadID app on my phone for several years with excellent results. I decided to try Live Track and it did not autostart. I then manually started it and it only lasted 4 miles. Tried again and it did not even make it a mile. Is there a way to determine the status of Live track other than looking at the phone? Seems like there should be a message on the 1030 to indicate Live track has a problem.

    My experience has been that when my "phone disconnected" then you can bet that the Livetrack has stopped as well so I take a look any time I hear a beep to see if I've lost the connection.  If so I pull out my phone and open Garmin Connect mobile app and it usually reconnects...

    Yep, that's the story of life with 1030. Pull out phone and open GCM, again, and again, and again...

    I was going through the settings of both GCM and the 1030 to see if I had missed a setting that would cause Live track to fail. I found nothing but noticed I had GPS set for Galileo and GPS. I set it for GPS because I don't see the need for Galileo. On my next ride of about 20 miles, the live track worked perfectly with a manual start. I tried a shorter ride and it worked again. I don't know if changing the GPS setting had anything to do with this new behavior. I'm going to try it with auto start on a longer 60 mile ride this week.

    May you have better luck than me, but I switched to GPS only months ago as a power saving move (not related to livetrack fails).   Livetrack fails all the time still.
