It’s a long ride and plenty of riders get seperated from their friend or group of friends at some point resulting in a stop to call and arrange a meeting point. It’s half the fun for some…

If that’s not your idea of fun, like me, you may want to try Google Maps location sharing. You can share with specific people who have google accounts if you’d like to keep some privacy or go full public and let it all hang out. 😂

In either case, as long as you and your fellow road warriors have a network connection, it updates fast and precisely, letting you all know where each of you are and if you do go off grid, it says where you last were and how long ago.

It’s also a good one to share with loved ones not on the ride…just in case.

There are plenty of online tutorials on how best to set it up. If you can navigate Coast to Coast, you oughta be able to figure this one out on your own too.

I’ve been using this for several years and it works. So, if you want to take the guess work out of where your friends are on the ride, maybe give this one a go.
