WISH: Direct link to recent live tracks for a specific user

Open gwicke opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

For safety purposes, it would be useful to provide a URL parameter that does the equivalent of filtering tracks to match only those of a specified user name. This would make it possible to share a flyxc URL as a tracking link to others, independent of tracking method used for any particular flight (e.g. xcontest live or inreach).

As a side effect, such tracking links could also help introduce more pilots to flyxc.

Related to the safety / tracking use case, a way for users to add a free form per-user "details" field which then shows up in track point pop-up details would be quite useful I think. This would allow users to add safety contact information (phone, VHF frequency typically used), and/or links to their xcontest profile or website.
