When you navigate by car, foot, or bicycle, you can share your destination, estimated arrival time, and your current location. The person you share this information with can track your location until you arrive.
location share
Google Location sharing lets you share your real-time location with someone for as long as you want. Once you do, that person will be able to see your name, photo, your device's location, how much battery power it has and whether it's charging, and an arrival and departure time if they add a Location Sharing notification.
Location Sharing works even when Location History is turned off. But if you receive a warning upon opening Location Sharing, it could be due to one (or more) of the following: You're in a country or region that doesn't allow location sharing; your Google Workspace domain doesn't allow location sharing; or you're too young to share your location. (Google no longer allows users under the age of 18 to share location for more than 24 hours. Parents/guardians can manage Location Sharing from the Family Link app.)
Hi guys, I am looking for a junior project for myself and thought about a nextcloud app that offers to share your live location as you do in WhatsApp. Minimum valuable for me would be purely relying on web, no smartphone app initially.
You login to Webinterface and can generate a link that expires after defined time. It shows your own location on map and your peer you want to meet up can share it's location on the shared link too, but without having credentials.
The point is, some of our federal projects require location tracking, especially when conducting aerial forest pest detection work. Even though ArcGIS Collector Classic is outdated and not supported, we at the Alabama Forestry Commission are still using Collector Classic, because it has the offline capability of tracking location of the aerial flights, and as such we are able to do our work of reporting flight track path to the federal government.
What happens if ArcGIS Collector Classic becomes totally unavailable in the future and we are not able to track location by going offline. What do we do? Does anyone know if Location Sharing layer can be taken offline? Is there a work around? Is Esri doing something about it?
Thank you for posting this question. The location sharing capability supports offline use today and with ArcGIS Field Maps, it's independent of the web map itself. You don't need to add the layer to a map. If you want to see the tracks of other people and have the privilege to do so, then you can add that layer to a map. But as you've found, it does not support sync and needs to be used when connected.
You'll notice that on the maps screen there is a My Tracks card and you can enable/disable location sharing without ever opening a map. Also, regardless of the map used, you will see the Tracks layer in the layers tool and if you turn it on you can tap on your tracks to see them (connected or disconnected).
Here is the documentation topic on location sharing for more information:
-maps/android/help/track.htm
Coming from Collector Classic, you may be interested in the background capability as well. You don't need to keep the Field Maps app in the foreground for it to record, store and share locations anymore.
AbiDhakal let me clarify.
- the location tracking layer you have been using in Collector classic is a hosted feature layer that supports sync. When you work in a disconnected environment, the tracks are stored locally in your map.
- the location sharing layer used in ArcGIS Field Maps is a feature layer but it does not support sync. Even though it does not support sync, when you work in a disconnected environment, the tracks are stored locally on your device but not in a specific map. Very important here is that in the setup process, do not add the location sharing layer to your map. Please see the help topic I mentioned above and consider reading the ArcGIS Online help that discusses how to Enable location sharing in your organization.
- the location sharing layer is best used in web apps like ArcGIS Dashboards, Experience Builder apps, or Instant apps that are used for overall operational awareness. Important here are the security/privacy considerations for who can see the location of other users. If you would like, you can add that location sharing to a map and open the map in Field Maps. You will not be able to download the map, but you could use the map while connected to view the location of others.
The simple act of sharing the location where a photo location might seem innocent enough, but in the Instagram age you have to be careful. It might seem like a simple thing to ask where a photo was taken or share where you took a photo, but you have to consider the impact of sharing a location. There are a few reasons why I might not share a location of a photo, and other times when I will.
An example of this is the wildflower blooms out in California every year (which I have never been to). What used to be a relatively unpopular event is now a circus of tourists, photographers, and instagram influencers. At some point, someone was there and posted a picture of the blooms along with the location data. That location caused people two swarm there. They began trampling the flowers and destroying the environment. Many had zero respect for the place because all they did was click a link on Instagram, looked at a map, and went to the spot. They put in exactly no effort in finding the place for themselves, which I believe led to the lack of respect.
Hi Lao72jr. Your wife will need to accept the invitation from her email first. Then in the Ring app, she will need to tap the Location name in the top center of the Ring app to bring up a drop-down of all the Locations available. From there, she can toggle to the new Location with (Shared) in the name, which will have the Ring Camera or Doorbells you have shared from the new home. I hope this helps!
The location of alfresco.log and share.log is in the current directory when starting tomcat, which is already a very stupid thing to do since you will find these files anywhere your shell will be when you run tomcat's startup.sh.
Apparently it is not possible to fix this location to something sensible without changing the log4j.properties file in alfresco webapps ??? I tried to use a "dev-log4j.properties or log4.properties in shared/classes/alfresco/extension as advised by an old answer but it doesn't work. Is there a clean way to define this location or should administrators cd to a suitable log directory whenever they start tomcat ?
my SZC stopped working out of the blue, i.e. I cannot download / upload any files from and to my StorageZone, which is an on-premise SZ. Logging into the Configuration Page and switching to the Monitoring tab gives me an error stating "Storage Location Access - Check the Permission for the Network Share". The network share hosting all my SZ files is unchanged and reachable. There hasn't been any changes to the corresponding sharing permissions and NTFS file permissions. All Citrix ShareFile services run under NETWORK SERVICE. I have v5.11.18 installed, running on Windows Server 2016.
I followed the Citrix documentation and everything has been considered as well as configured: Create a network share for private data storage (citrix.com)
I'm running another SZC server hosting a multi-tenant SZ, which is configured the same way and it works properly.
Storage zone controllers access a network share using the IIS Account Pool user. By default, application pools operate under the Network Service user account, which has low-level user rights. Storage zones controller uses the Network Service account by default. You can use a named user account instead of the Network Service account to access the share. Use the Network Service account to run the IIS application pool and Citrix ShareFile Services.
I have seen various post talking about changing the mounts, creating symbolic links etc but to me that defeats the object of having a web management interface, if every time I have to change/add/remove shares I have to go into the machine and start changing mounts.
NethServer saves the shares in /var/lib/nethserver/ibay/* so you may mount /var or /var/lib/nethserver/ibay once to another disk. This way you are able to just use the UI to add shares but have them on a separate disk.
Whilst I can see how I could make it work, the main concern I have is that this must be maintainable by others going forward and I would need to be sure that they could easily update the file shares etc without needing to go to the command line.
Regarding shared folders location, as others members mentioned, it can be done at install time from anaconda (CentOS) installer by assigning a mount point for /var/lib/nethserver/ibay (or for /var or /var/lib/nethserver); or afterwards by editing fstab adding a bind mount. On most cases this only needs to be done one time (CLI) and shared folders can be created/deleted/managed from the UI.
Interesting, have just been reading about this. If I understand it correctly, using proxmox I can create a VM whose virtual storage can span multiple physical storage. Thus reducing the issue of having all the shares in one location.
Use GPS to get latitude and longitude from android device and send it to a server after fixed intervals(eg. 5 sec) which will store it in database(Can we use firebase for this purpose instead of writing full server side code from scratch?). The client which needs to show the location can now request data from server every 5 secs and plot the location on google map. My question is, is this approach scalable?
1) - "pointing to the correct directory"
I have created the directory on the share (SSL VPN)
Every time the report is ran a new directory is created below the SSL VPN directory. I do not want the new directory.
