A simple flow for real life
-
Start tracking
Open Bluelane on your iPhone or Apple Watch and begin a route when the trip starts.
-
Share the link
Send the route through the messaging app your family or friends already use.
-
They follow live
Viewers open the route in a browser and can see your progress while your phone has the signal needed to send updates.
One link. Any browser.
Less “where are you?” More being there.
Running late, heading to a pickup, or meeting across town? Share this trip with the people waiting for you. They can open the link on iPhone, Android, a tablet or a computer.
When you arrive, keep the journey. Review your route, distance and time, revisit past trips, or take your routes with you using GPX import and export.

A few things to know.
Do viewers need a Bluelane account?
No. Viewers open your shared route link in a browser. They do not need an account or the Bluelane app.
Who can see my route?
Anyone with the link can view your route, including if it is forwarded. Share it with people you trust. Stopping recording ends new updates, but does not revoke the link.
Is this permanent location sharing?
Bluelane is centered on route sharing. It is useful when you want to share a specific trip rather than create an always-on location sharing setup.
What can people see on the shared page?
They can follow the route on a map and see trip context such as live progress, elapsed time, distance, and route details.
Do I need mobile cell signal for live route sharing?
Yes. Your phone needs mobile cell signal or another data connection to send live updates. If you lose coverage, viewers may not see new route points until your connection returns.
Does Bluelane work with Apple Watch?
Yes. You can start, stop, and share routes from Apple Watch and view key trip stats from your wrist.
Can I use Bluelane for road trips and travel days?
Yes. Bluelane is a good fit for road trips, pickups, travel days, and other moments where family or friends want live progress instead of repeated updates.
