OwnTracks is a mobile application for iOS and Android. To track your location using OwnTracks, install it on your phone, open the app, then click on [i] in the top left corner. There, click on "Settings", and find "URL" field.

In your user settings in Dawarich you will find the url you need to paste in the "URL" field in OwnTracks mobile app. This url should contain api_key key with value, generated for you by Dawarich. If the value is blank, regenerate the API key using button "Generate API Key" in your Dawarich user settings.

After setting the url in OwnTracks, you're all set! Now you can return to main screen, click "Share" button and there click "Send location now". Your location should be sent to your Dawarich instance. Refresh map page on Dawarich and you should see the location you just sent.

If it didn't work, feel free to open an issue or post a question in Discord channel.
