The simplest live tracking system you'll ever use, powered by your smart phone. Select the activity, share the link, that's it! Note: This is not another fitness app designed to track your progress, it's a live tracking service that integrates with third party apps, such as Strava. With the Premium monthly subscription of just $2,99, your trace will be shown in the map, your tracks will be saved, and you'll be able to share them, even upload them to Strava automatically!
