On my old Windows Phone 8 I had an app called FollowMee that relayed details of my progress to the family's PCs, the theory being that if I failed to report home my wife and grown up sons could see where I was on the map on the PC and discuss whether to do anything about it, or wait a couple of weeks and see.
Apart from not working without a phone signal, the big drawback was that on Windows Phone the app only recorded your position at 30 minute intervals, so the route I walked was shown as a series of long zig-zag lines. You don't see a map on the phone, just a screenful of lines of data.
On an Android phone the interval is greatly improved at 5 minutes. However, when I tested it during a walk last week I was disappointed when I got home to find no maps on the PCs. The PC app told me I must pay for maps (it's a very small annual fee, $5.99) even though I paid a few months ago. I expect this was because I had changed my phone.
Now for the big question. I am calling on the collective knowledge of you members.
Is there an equivalent app for Android and PC that will record the way I am going on my phone and display it on a map on a PC?
So far all I have found is a number of apps that will track my route on a phone as I walk but they don't automatically pass it to a PC in the way that FollowMee does. You've got to download it from the phone yourself after your return, which is not what I want.
Finally, if anything does exist, it must be free or at least very cheap for me, although I might bite the bullet if it does exactly what I want.
