OSMAND Online tracking via web-address

Post by jimknopf666 »

I love OSMAND one of the best apps for navigation when it comes to following preconfigured tracks during my cycling tours.
As the tracks are getting longer every month I would like to keep my wife and friends updated on my current location.
Also because sometimes I go all by myself and I would like to have a backup e.g. for the case of emergency.

OSMAND does provide the possibility for online tracking via web-address. The data can be sent in the following format.

It would be extremly cool if it would be possible to use this option also with greenalp. Any chances to implement this feature ?

Thank you.

Hi,
You mean you would like to have an API you can use to post locations to the server? Such a feature is not available, maybe it comes in the future. But why you don't use RTT and OSMAND together? I don't think that battery consumption will be that much higher.

I find it quite cumbersome to start 3 apps at the same. I am using Osmand for navigation, RTT for live tracking and Sporttracker for recording my workouts. For me it would be benefitial to minimize the number of apps I need to start simultaneously. But of course you are right it works to start RTT in parallel to the other apps.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer. Please keep me posted once you decide to implement a web API.
