Vehicles + live tracking
How Follow + Leapfrog vehicles stay synced + how to push GPS from a phone.
Two vehicles, one rule: stay within 30 minutes of each other at current speed. The app enforces this and flags drift in red on War Room.
Tracking from a crew phone
- Open /vehicles on the on-duty crew phone.
- Tap Track from this phone on the right vehicle (Follow-1 or Leap-1).
- Allow location permission.
- Pick the Driver and Navigator from the dropdowns.
- Tap Start tracking. Pings post every 30 seconds while the tab is open.
- Add to home screen for native-feel persistence.
Why phone GPS is enough
Phone GPS is more accurate than the Garmin tracker for support vehicles. Garmin is the secondary source. RAAM live tracker is rider-only.
If pings stop arriving
- Phone went to sleep — keep the tab visible, or use Add to Home Screen.
- Permission was revoked — re-allow in browser settings.
- No signal — pings buffer briefly then drop. Move to the next ridge.
- Vehicle marked inactive — only chief can reactivate via /admin/roster (coming soon).
