About
LiveTrack24 is a comprehensive real-time GPS live-tracking platform serving pilots, paragliders, hang gliders, and other outdoor activity participants around the world. Founded in 2006 and operating through 2026, it has built a robust ecosystem for both individual tracking and large-scale sporting event management. For individual users, LiveTrack24 offers a simple way to share live location data with friends, family, or fellow pilots. Supported via dedicated Android and iPhone apps, as well as a wide range of external GPS hardware devices (including InReach DeLorme satellite trackers), users can broadcast their live track and allow others to follow their journey in real time on interactive 2D and 3D maps powered by Cesium. For competition and event organizers, LiveTrack24 provides a turnkey solution that includes real-time participant tracking, a live scoreboard, and retrieve coordination — all in one affordable package. A complete PDF guide and event registration automation tools help organizers streamline setup. The platform has hosted hundreds of live events with rich calendar management for current, past, and upcoming competitions. Developers and third-party service providers can leverage LiveTrack24's full API suite to embed live-tracking capabilities directly into their own applications. The service supports multiple languages and has active user groups across Europe, Australia, and beyond, making it a globally trusted platform for outdoor GPS tracking.
