Hello, my name is Paul, I live in the North West Lower Peninsula of Michigan's National Forest located in the USA.
I am retired and have decided to create a simple project to share live GPS coordinates with friends to display our locations with each other on our phone's Map Apps as we wander the forest trails.
So far, I have developed the basic components needed ; a pair of LoRa radios, GPS receivers and ESP32 modules communicating with each other sharing our GPS data using the Arduino IDE .
The next step is to be able to transmit the GPS data via Wi-Fi onto our respective phone's Map Apps to display our locations. This is where I am looking for assistance with the Wi-Fi integration onto our phones to be displayed on currently available Map Apps.

Just a couple of first impressions.
1. Can't you already do this with the phone app?
2. You mention IDE, so you are only wanting to do this from your homes? IDE is located on your laptop/desktop.
3.Why both WiFi and LoRa?
4. ESP32 WiFi is very short range.
Try not to tell us the solution, just tell us the problem.

@zander What should I do, delete completely this incorrect attempt to post my introduction or edit out the portion relevant to starting a new topic?

Don't panic, you haven't done anything wrong. Ron's just suggesting that you move to a different forum with a more appropriate topic (than INTRODUCE YOURSELF) so that you'll attract other people with knowledge about that topic.
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

@do_not_give_up Just pick an appropriate forum like 'Project Corner' and sub-forum 'Help Wanted'
My response will not change.
