With whatsapp, you can send your location....Is it possible to track members while they're walking? I thought after I posted my dates on the calendar this would be a possibility.

I'm just trying to find all of the various ways I can comfort my loved ones' concerns/fears of not being able to know where I am at the end of each day.
I've got WhatsApp & iPhones 'Find Friends' but I wanted to give them a way to reach out to the forum if absolutely necessary. I don't know where they should go/look in the forum otherwise.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Seriously? THis stuff can go wrong easily and then they totally freak. Explain that you will be fine, and if there is a home emergency give them your ph numberIs it possible to track members while they're walking? I thought after I posted my dates on the calendar this would be a possibility.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Allow yourself the wonderfully freeing experience of going 'off the grid' as much as you can. I told my family how they could check in to see where I was if they wanted to, but otherwise I requested no contact unless in an emergency.Thank you everybody for all the wonderful responses! They have been extremely helpful!
The funniest thing for me to discover is that the more options there are the more I want to get AWAY from them!Hence the reason I'm going on my Camino! I know you all here know that feeling!
I will assure them that both THEY & I will all be fine & there will be a limit to how often I will check in. I will also give them a designated time to call/text on WhatsApp for emergencies only!!
That's why I simply set up location sharing on Google Maps. My husband could always see where I was, but I didn't have to call or text him all the time. I didn't have to think about staying in touch, and was free to just enjoy my Camino.A bit late to reply… you've been on the Camino for three days now, I hope… but I was going to say the same thing that C clearly has said, and I think it is important enough to repeat and emphasise. Don't do the Camino with the feeling that you have a duty to check in with home very day! And don't set up their expectations! It's part of the experience of a pilgrimage to cut yourself loose a little, and your loved ones need to understand this.
I did check in almost every day, because I live with a highly-strung 90-year-old mother… But even so, I skipped a day from time to time, telling her in advance. Just as a matter of principle.
