I haven't used this feature yet, but I think it does track live. And I am not sure if this is the best solution for what the OP is looking for. For what it is worth, here is what their website says:


With the Buddy Tracker, you can see the geographic location of the members of the groups you belong to. Similarly, you can share your whereabouts with your friends by selecting the "Send Location" feature on Navizon (only if you want to and whenever you want to).

So whether you want to make sure your daughter gets to school safely or see where you friends are gathering so that you can join them, the Buddy Tracker will be the ideal companion.
On your phone, use your buddy tracker and set your privacy options:
  • See your buddies' location on the map:
    When you see the map, hit Menu > Buddies > List ., and then Menu > Show on map, you can also call them or search a particular contact.

NOTE: Check 'Update Live' to update the positions each time Navizon connects to server.
  • Choose the groups you want to see on the Map:
    Click on Manage groups, and check the groups you are interested in.
  • Make your location available to your group buddies:
    When you see the map, hit Menu > Buddies, and check 'Send Location'
If you are using Navizon with a GPS, you will be able to share your location with your group members' wherever you go. If you don't have a GPS and are using Navizon in Wi-Fi/cellular positioning mode, this feature will work in the areas already covered (see "My coverage" in the user section).

NOTE: You can also find your buddies on the web interface, in the member section, click on Tracker and you will be able to see the position of your friends who made their location available.
No Big Brother here

With Navizon's buddy tracker, only users that are member of your groups can see your location. So you can only be located by the people you want.
And if you don't want anyone to know where you are, you can even turn it off altogether by unchecking "Send location".
