8. Tap on "Share" to send the Glympse to any selected contact (step 5). Those contacts will receive a SMS with a
hyperlink and will be able to look up your current vehicle location until the Glympse is inactive.
Q: If a customer downloads Glympse, can other people track his/her location?
A: The nice thing about sharing a location via Glympse is that it is temporary. A Glympse automatically expires
when its timer runs out, so users don't have to worry about sharing their location when they don't want to. With
Glympse, the user is in complete control — they choose who they want to see their location, when they can see it
and for how long they're allowed to see it.
Q: How can I prevent an app from using my vehicle location?
A: It is possible to deactivate location sharing in every app individually. In an app, tap on the location icon in the
lower right part of the screen.
Q: My vehicle is equipped with an older Navi 900 IntelliLink. Can I update my infotainment system to use SHOP?
A: No, updating an older Navi 900 IntelliLink to use SHOP is not possible.

use the phone instead.
