On a club or group outing, by bike or on foot, live GPS tracking shows where everyone is: the group stays together, and the leader and the sweeper know when someone drops back.
During the outing, participants see the positions shared by the others, across pace groups and roles: no need to stop and phone to find out where the back of the group is.

Alerts for the leader and the sweeper
On a club outing, a participant dropped behind the head of the group, a prolonged stop, leaving the track or a lost signal: the leaders are warned on their device, on screen and out loud if they wish, with adjustable thresholds.

Help, pause, regroup: one gesture is enough
Puncture, breakdown or minor injury: a participant asks for help and can attach their position, even without continuous sharing. Pause, regroup, resume or danger are announced by the leader or the sweeper and read out loud.

Join the outing without waiting
An “Outing in progress” banner and, if you asked for it, an email signal the start. A member who has not signed up joins the live view with the leader's code; among friends, the live ride by code of the riding mode is open to any Vistavel account.

Only the active participants of the same outing, and only if you turn sharing on: joining the live view and sharing your position are two separate actions, and you can watch without sharing. An absent member, even an administrator, sees nothing. Arriving, leaving or closing the outing ends both the sharing and the viewing.
Does tracking continue with the screen locked or in the background?
It is not guaranteed: a browser may suspend location and refreshing when the tab is hidden or the screen is locked. Keep the page open on screen during the outing. Tracking is not an emergency service: in an emergency, call 112 (Europe).
