GPS Tracking
To safely facilitate this event we are asking for parental permission to use GPS tracking software on young people’s phones. The tracking will take place only for the duration of the activity. The data connection to the tracking server is encrypted and hosted on a private Mersey Weaver owned server. The Tracking will assist route marshals to locate hikers if they become lost.
To enable the tracking, young people should install the Traccar Client app from the Apple App or Google Play Store on their mobile phone. To configure the app you will need to enable location tracking.  In the device identifier field type the security code on your E-ticket (please note this is case sensitive). In the Server URL field please enter https://traccar.mwscouts.org then toggle the service status to on when you arrive at the hike start. See a screenshot of configuration.
