So ... I did all the "fixes" that WAHOO suggested on the website that I mentioned above ... and I was still unable to get the LIVE TRACK to function as advertised.
I ended up using GOOGLE's "Location Sharing" feature.
If anyone solves the enigma that is WAHOO LIVE TRACK, please let me know!

I had a different issue (screen malfunction) that forced me to return my Wahoo Bolt a few weeks ago (see thread 1137884). Wahoo evaluated my claim and promptly sent me a replacement. It was a very nice customer service experience.
So, once I had the new computer set up and sensors linked, I went on a ride. I remembered that the live track hadn't ever worked on the old unit ... so decided to see if the new unit would be any different. I created the new link for live tracking, sent it to my wife and left for 60 min ride. I didn't set my expectations high for the live tracking to work. Well, guess what ... it did work! I was very surprised. Wondering if the old unit was defective (multiple issues) or if maybe Wahoo resolved the live tracking in recent firmware update?
I will try again. Hopefully it continues to work!

My experience, after replacing the head unit twice, and even upgrading to a new phone, is that it works at first and eventually fails. In the three weeks since I bought an iPhone 12 Pro, the tracking system has worked about 50% to 75% of the time.
