Safety · Live tracking
Let someone follow your every step.
Start a live session and share a link — friends and family watch your position, route, and stats update in real time. No account needed to view.
Real-time position sharing
Watchers see your current location, route traced so far, and live stats — updated continuously as you move.
Share a link, no account required
Generate a share link from within a recording and send it to anyone. They open it in a browser — no TrailWise sign-up needed.
Signal loss detection
If you lose GPS or mobile signal, TrailWise marks the event on the map so watchers know you're in a dead zone — not in trouble.
How it works
A workflow built for UK hills.
Start a GPS recording
Open the TrailWise app and begin a hike recording as normal.
Tap 'Share live'
In the active recording screen, tap the share button to generate a unique live-session link.
Send the link
Copy and send the link to friends or family via message, WhatsApp, or any app — they just open it in a browser.
They follow in real time
Watchers see a live map with your position, the route you've traced, elapsed time, distance, and elevation gain.
Built for hikers
Everything you need on and off the hill.
Real-time
Continuous position updates
Your location is pushed to the live session continuously — watchers see the map update as you move.
Viewer
No account needed
Anyone with the link can view your live session in a browser. No TrailWise account, no app download required.
Safety
Signal lost & regained events
Gaps in GPS or mobile signal are recorded as timestamped events and shown on the watcher's map.
Stats
Live hike stats
Elapsed time, total distance, and elevation gain are displayed live alongside the map.
Control
Pause and resume
Pausing your recording is reflected in the live view — watchers see your status is paused, not lost.
Privacy
Token-protected links
Each session generates a unique token URL. Only people you share it with can view your live position.
