User manual

Send old positions. Normally the buddy beacon web page shows just the most
recent beacon position. However, if you log into www.viewranger.com/portal
you can instruct the ViewRanger server to keep all your beacon positions. To
tell the server to store your track switch on "Record Beacon Track" and press
the Save button.
There is a link to clear the positions.
If 'Send old positions' is switched on then when ViewRanger can't send a
beacon position (because you are out of mobile reception) it will store that
position and send it later. This is useful if you want people to see your progress
over time.
Buddy Beacon Web interface
You can also see where someone is

Use the mouse wheel or the slider on
the embedded control panel to

Depending on location you can

their location was recorded.
