Live locator
The HiiKER Live locator is a powerful way to share your location with your family, friends and hiking group. It will show your live location with a high level of accuracy while you are on your hike.
You can use Live locator to share your own location and to view other people’s locations who have shared their Location link with you.
Here is how you activate your Live Locator session
Step 1. Access HiiKER options
Open any map screen in the HiiKER app and tap the “options” button
Step 2. Access the Live Locator menu
From here select the Live Locator option
Step 3. Start your Live Locator session
Toggle the Share Location switch to ‘on’ and select the amount of time you wish to share for
NOTE: Live Locator can be an intense battery user. Please keep in mind when selecting longer sessions
Step 5. Share the link
Tap the share icon beside the URL under “Share link with others”. Choose the method of sharing this link – or copy the link so you can paste using another method, such as social media.
If the recipient has the HiiKER app the link will automatically open a viewer within the app. If they don’t they will be redirected to a viewer on the HiiKER website!
As long as your session is live, anyone with this link can view your movements. You can simply end the session by toggling the “Share location” button off.
