## Description

OsmAnd Online GPS Tracker is a specialized Telegram client that enables seamless real-time sharing and monitoring of GPS locations with your contacts and groups. By logging in with your Telegram-registered phone number, you can manage location sharing settings, including duration up to 24 hours and GPS update frequency ranging from every second to once every five minutes, balancing accuracy with power efficiency.

The extension only handles Live Location messages—it does not transmit or display text messages. All locations shared are viewable on the OsmAnd Maps & Navigation app (version 3.0.4 or higher), allowing you to see contacts' movements on a detailed map. This tool is ideal for flexible, privacy-conscious GPS tracking integrated with Telegram's communication platform, enhancing location sharing and navigation convenience.
