Feature Request: Share location with selected contacts
I've been using Runnerup for more than a year and I'm loving it, although I'm still trying to make the GPS route a bit more accurate. One thing I think the app would really benefit from is some location sharing feature. Say I do a long run through the woods I might want to let the wife know where I am and so if something happens she knows where to come looking for me.
There is something like this for bike computers such as Wahoo.
A similar feature might be available through Android/Google but I avoid using Google.
The problem with such a functionality is that a server implementation is needed too so it will require an infrastructure, just spare time will not cover the functionality. RunnerUp Live is supporting this already, but I am not aware of any servers supporting it right now.
So unfortunately it is likely commercial setups like Google, Strava and Wahoo that can support this functionality.
I did an enhancement to share location with LocusMaps: https://github.com/Uatschitchun/Latrine-live Maybe this could be helpful in some regards? Still, a server is needed, but that could also be a private one with portforwarding...
This is basically what RunnerUp Live does already, could be customized to use other location services. So the hook is there.
