9.5 AvPlan Live tracking
Configure AvPlan Live tracking
AvPlan Live is included with all subscription levels and requires an internet connection. It can display other AvPlan traffic on the En Route map, share your position and publish flight progress through a browser link.
- Open Settings > AvPlan Live.
- Turn on Enable AvPlan Live Tracking.
- Turn on Hide Callsign if other AvPlan users should not see the aircraft callsign.
- Turn off Share active flight plan if only the current position, height and groundspeed should be shared.
- Open the AvPlan Live website when you need to create or send a tracking link.
INFO
Enable AvPlan Live Tracking must be turned on before AvPlan traffic can appear on the map.
Share live flight progress
Create a personal public link so family and friends can follow positions shared by your AvPlan devices.
- Sign in to AvPlan Web.
- Select Settings > Account.
- Select Flight Sharing.
- If there is no active link, select You have no active sharing link. Click to generate one!
- Under Share Link Options, choose what the public view should include. Available options include Include weather radar, Include SIGMET overlays, Include all traffic, Use nicknames when available and Hide departure board.
- Select the clipboard button to copy the link, then send it to the people who need it.

WARNING
The shared view updates only while a device is sending AvPlan Live data over an internet connection. A gap in tracking data does not by itself indicate an emergency.
See Manage flight sharing for the complete set of link and map options.
