Getting Directions and Sharing a Location

You can easily view and share the current location of a vehicle or locator from within the application.

Note:
The Get Directions and Share Location options are only available if the vehicle or locator has recently reported a position. If no recent position is available, these options will not appear when selecting the vehicle or locator.


1. Sharing a Location

To share a vehicle or locator’s location:

  1. Click on the vehicle (if it’s paired with a locator), or navigate to the Locator tab under the desired Location.

  2. Click the kebab menu icon (⋮) to open additional options.

  3. If the locator has recently reported a position, select “Share Location.”

  4. A native sharing box will appear, allowing you to choose how you’d like to share the link.

    • You can also copy the location text directly, which is formatted as:

      Open [LocatorID]'s position in Google Maps: [Map URL]

2. Getting Directions

To get directions to a vehicle or locator:

  1. Follow the same steps above to access the kebab menu.

  2. Select “Get Directions”, which appears right above “Share Location.”

  3. A popup will appear showing the latitude and longitude of the locator’s most recent position.

  4. You’ll see two options:

    • Open in Google Maps – Launches the position directly in Google Maps.

    • Copy Position – Copies the latitude and longitude to your device’s clipboard.
