6.6.Find Friends

Use this function to find your friends, for instance when skiing or skating. If you activate Live 
Tracking, you can even have you friends' coordinates refreshed regularly. You friends' 
positions are also displayed on the map. You can use the Navigator to have yourself 
navigated to a friend whose position is dynamically refreshed. 

The list of friends relevant for this function is created in the GPS-Sport.net portal (would be 
too complicated from 

Run.GPS

). Sign in at 

www.GPS-Sport.net

 and browse your Athlete's 

Homepage. Then click 

You'll get the opportunity to send a short 
message to your friend:

The friend will receive an email and must accept 
your request with a click.

Once this is done, you can always access your 
friends' positions online:

Both the names of your friends and the distance to them is 
shown in the list. There is also the date and time your friend's 
last position update.

Click on an entry to navigate to a friend.
