Tried Glympse - but max you can track is for 4 hours, that's a real waste.
Isn't there anything like the iPhone's Find My Friends app for the L950?

There's the IOS/Android/Windows Life360 app, but the creator has recently said they will no longer support W10M. I've read somewhere that with IOS, the GPS query is very fast and periodic, while W8.1's GPS query was slow to update. Not sure whether this has improved with W10M.
Update: I saw the recommendation for "Simple Latitude" app in this thread, and downloaded it. In its settings, it allows for how periodic the GPS gets updates if the app is running, and if the app is not running then the update period is 30 minutes. I believe this is the current limitation of W10M.
30 minute number was enforced to save battery, not to limit the apps. And they might have shortened it a bit frequent these days on W10M because I am seeing more frequent location updates and I think I saw shorter interval options in some apps. Simple Latitude allows you to ping your friend on demand so there's no delay if you need the most current position. Another option they give is to run in foreground and it's updated every 60 secondsFollowmee costs $3 ($5 for Deluxe) and you have to get your friends to use it if you want to see them/have them see you.
Me: "Hey, get the app "followmee" so we can see each other's location."
Them: "You have to PAY for it??"
Me: "Well, yeah, but only once."
Them: "Or, YOU could just get an iPhone like everybody else."
And a 30-minute update for positions on Simple Latitude blows. That's a non-starter for me.
I tried Simple Latitude on my L950 and another Samsung Galaxy. I found it pretty useless... especially on the Samsung, you got to keep the App open for it to work and it doesn't run in the background.
Like someone said, dunno why we don't have simple solutions like we do on the iPhone.
