Can't share live position even though premium
Closed
Hello
A friend of mine is riding bike through sweden to raise money for the ALS cure, good cause :-)
He has a andoid phone and when he shares the link of live tracking the link doesn't show his position. Instead a dialog shows "Enter private group code". He has selected "Share with all". Why doesn't that work?
This is the link: https://live-track.locusmap.eu/public/MUK-Qnt-tFN
On his live position it says "remaining time" 00:00, what does that mean?
Attached pictures of configuration, sorry for being in swedish...
The same problem 
Hi Henrik,
it seems there are two different services being mixed here:
- public Live tracking
- my LIVE location (as can be seen on the first picture)
Whereas the Public Live tracking is a multi-directional service, i.e. all participants see each other either on the web or within the app, My LIVE location is only one-directional - the public sees the user sharing his location on the web (only, nowhere else), the user sees nobody.
Now the question is where your friend is sharing the link from?
- the link from "My live location" is always public
- only a link to a private group in Live tracking requires the entry code

Hi Michal
He is sharing it from his android phone in the locus app on the link I marked with red in attached picture, that looks like to be the "My live location" right?
So if I understand you that should be the correct place to share from to let anyone with the link to see where he is on the web?

Hi Henrik,
a better option is to use Live tracking with a private group - here you don't have to restore the duration of the session. More at https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:live_tracking#share_with_a_new_group.
