Viewing Friends on the Map

Switch to MAP mode in the app
Your connected friends locations appear as markers with their names
Each marker shows:

• Friend's name and location provider
• Speed in km/h
• Location age (turns red if older than 2 minutes)
• Direction arrow if bearing data is available

Following a Friend on the map

Click on any friend's marker on the map
The map will automatically center on that friend and track their movement
A pin icon appears on the followed friend's marker
To stop following, click the same marker again, or click on another friend's marker.

Friend Location updates are not smooth, why?

Smooth updates only work for the currently followed friend,
other friends locations update when a new location update comes in.

• Select Friend: Click on a friend's marker on the map to start tracking their location
