Quick answers
- Can I share my location with someone who doesn't have Traxl?
- Yes. A live link works in any browser for 15 minutes to 8 hours, with no app and no account, and you can stop it any time.
- Who can see my location?
- Only members of a Circle you joined, people you give a live link to while it is active, and your group while a trip you joined is live. Leave a Circle and sharing with it stops immediately.
