Share a Vehicle's Live Location
You can share a vehicle’s live location with someone outside your account — a customer waiting on a delivery, for example. They open a clean, brand-neutral live map with no login required.

How to share a vehicle’s location
- In the sidebar, click the vehicle’s share icon to open the share modal.
- Choose a tab: Share with people or Share via link.
- Share with people — enter an email address, pick an expiry, and send the invite. The list shows options to resend or remove.
- Share via link — pick an expiry, click Generate link, and copy it. The list shows options to copy, revoke, or regenerate.
- Optionally click Add destination to set an address, and add a sender note (up to 200 characters).

What the recipient sees

- Expiry countdown — the share stops working when it expires.
Frequently asked questions
Does the recipient need an AVLView account?
No. The shared map opens without a login. The recipient only sees the one vehicle you shared, on a brand-neutral live map.
How do I stop sharing before the expiry?
For a link, use revoke in the list; for an email invite, use remove. The share stops working immediately.
