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.
