GPS Tracking Service ?
« on: September 22, 2020, 09:36:05 AM »
For years I have had a simple GPS tracker on my IPhone.   My wife loved it because she didn’t have to worry about me riding or where I was.   But that company just went out of business. 

Any recommendations for another tracker?  I don’t need anything fancy.  And free or cheap would be great.

Google Maps tracks my daily activities (my choice).
I turn on "track sharing" access for my wife.
She can follow me to the second.

A number of years ago someone on this list was forced by SHMBO to use a tracking device so she could keep track with him. He was stopped waiting for a train to pass when he decided to throw the tracker in a train car. Mean?

My wife installed Zenly on our daughter's phone as a mutual & amicable agreement, no spying or such when she started driving.  Works well, free, no issues with service to date.

On Android phones you just enable it in Google maps. Then you share the location with anyone. I assume Apple has it too.
Free, always on, low battery consumption.
And later you can find that interesting road that you found on a ride if you allow it to store your history.
