As a runner and mountain biker I often find new trails by reviewing friends activities. I will often look at their activity while I am out on my ride/run. I would like to be able to pull up their activity map, including their red line track, and tap a compass or similar icon to see where my current location is compared to their activity. Is this possible and I am missing it? If not consider this a feature request.

When you click the “bookmark” icon in the top right corner, the friend’s activity map creates a new route draft that opens on your screen - including your location. That seems to be exactly what you're looking for - and unless you actually save the route, it won't show up in your list of saved routes, i.e. the list won't get cluttered by each of these views.

+1The bookmark works, thanks! Seems counterintuitive to have to “save a route” and like an extra set of steps, for any map I should be able to see my current location on it but will deal with this work around for now.
+29You don't really need to save the route - just open the first step of the route saving process, and then close it with the top-left X once you get the information you needed. But yes, it's not exactly intuitive indeed…
