I have my Garmin set up to start Livetrack automatically, but it often doesn't start for no obvious reason. If I ride with say half a dozen people, chances of everyone getting Livetrack to work first time are slim at best. When it does work it's okay, but I wouldn't say it's intuitive. I think Garmin software is a bug-ridden dog's dinner of a mess on all sorts of levels. But that's been discussed at length elsewhere. I use it because ultimately it does what I need, but it's not particularly nice to use.
