Sharing your position

Sharing your position to provide live GPS tracking can be done in different ways. Using our smartphone application, a modern Garmin watch loaded with our data field, or using one of the supported dedicated GPS trackers.

In any case, the device you are using will be assigned a unique Device ID that is used to identify your device and that you can communicate to the events organisers so you can be tracked.

The Routechoices Tracker App lets you stream your live location to Routechoices.com. It provides you with a unique device ID, which you can share with event organizers to be registered.

  2. Grant it access to high accuracy location at all time, as well as background execution permission.
    This ensures uninterrupted GPS tracking throughout your event..
  3. Press "Start Live GPS" when you're ready to begin your run. The Device ID turns green when you are "Live".
  4. Go on your adventure!
  5. Press "Stop Live GPS" when you've finished.

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure that high-accuracy GPS is enabled in your phone's system settings.
  • Recent Android versions may restrict background processes to improve battery life, which can affect apps like Routechoices Tracker.
    To ensure continuous tracking, add Routechoices Tracker to battery optimization exceptions in your device settings.
  • Some Android manufacturers have additional battery-saving settings—make sure to disable them or add the app to their exceptions list.
  • iOS restricts applications that can run in the background, make sure that background execution is allowed and Routechoices Tracker has permission to access location services at all times.
  • iOS also limits when an application can fetch location data, ensure that the privacy setting for location access in "Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Routechoices Tracker" is set to "Always"
