Multiple riders on the same map?

I ride with big groups and sometimes the point and the sweep are both off route or don't know how far away one is from the other. Is there a way for two Karoo users on the same route to see an icon for each other? And/or can my progress on a map be seen in near real time via a website? 

I'm thinking that this functionality could also be very useful for support vehicles, whether for a race or supported tour.

  This will become a nice feature when more and more K2's are in the wild :)  I had a Garmin and although I think this was a feature I never used it.  But I have friends that used it all the time.

  I didn't know others had this feature. I could see a number of neat features via the Karoo's connectivity. First, as I said, allow the Karoo to allow live tracking. I know that would require a sim card or hotspot with the user's phone. Second, allow one Karoo user to transfer a route to another Karoo user via bluetooth.

  Wahoo would alert you when another wahoo rider was close on the map. Would be good if there was a shared standard across wahoo. Garmin and hammerhead. Group rides would be useful or any Audax, sportive etc where a number are riding but get split up to allow you to regroup . Would be good to see on screen those close or via a browser for partners to track who's where.
