Share your own boat position with friends using Live Tracking
With the Live Tracking feature you can send a link to friends who stayed at home so that they can always see the position of the latest logbook entry and the track covered so far.

Example
Here is a live track from a trip in 2013.
Setting it up
The prerequisite is that you use the Logbook Sync service for the logbook whose track you want to share. Once you have enabled sync for the logbook, you can generate the link to share with friends in the settings under “Sharing” via “Send Live Tracking link”.
Embed the live track on your own website
You can also embed the live track directly in your own website. Just copy the code below and replace
DEIN-CODE with the code from your own live tracking link (everything after ?s=). Width and height can be adjusted freely.<iframe src="https://logbook-app.com/live-tracking/cloud.php?s=DEIN-CODE" width="400" height="400"></iframe>Technical note
The link generated in the app looks like this:
https://logbook-app.com/live-tracking/cloud.php?s=12345… Everything after ?s= is the first 64 characters of your secret key from the Logbook Sync service.
