Running app showing mates position

If worried, run with others. I can't see much use in sending an orange or red warning to someone who may or may not be near their pc/phone and may be 5 miles or so away.

Not heard of the warning stuff. Runkeeper has a live feature for the app which broadcasts live position and pace.

thanks Ross. I will look at Runkeeper and check out some of the others mentioned in the forums. i live in a fairly remote area and this would be more for my other half to track where I was. I had a bad fall a few years ago and was late limping home and that was in a city. A bit scarier than out here. I liked the lights system as orange could mean for him not to worry but an indicator that I would be late and red for injury, so he could track where I was on my run at least. I don't see many people out on the trails and to find a regular running partner is about as remote as me being attacked by a feral sheep! As it is, I plan my runs around where I get a signal on my phone so only have a few places where I can be accurately tracked but at least he would know where I was if I was hurt or just tired and slower than normal (or once I did pass a dogwalker who felt like chatting so I got distracted and lost time having a chinwag and making a fuss over a friendly dog)....
