My family was able to track my entire cross-country trip home. It not only gave them peace of mind, but made me feel much safer knowing that I wasn't truly "alone" on the road. Thanks!!"

Server drops you constantly
Nice on the surface but has issues. Loved the idea of letting my family watch or location as we trekked along. However the server drops the link after an hour even though I have it set for manual disconnect only.
