From the sounds of it you probably can, but at a cost that doesn't make sense. It's a dime for every point. If you turn tracking on with the IR, then based on the tracking settings it would probably start hitting you for dimes frequently.
This is the Garmin biz model for IR. Safety, is the given. Tracking and messaging are the "upsells".
FWIW,
Garmin will let you month-2-month make changes to the plan. So if you have a big trip or something going on, you can just up the plan for a month and have the tracking.
The earthmate app should let you view your tracking points.
For me/our group the tracking matters. The wife's all get the mapshare link and can feel like they are still "spying" on the men. When we all go to TN or H&M all the ladies can just pull up where we are on the phone at any time. This has cut the man time drama to a minimum, fewer calls to wife's, fewer push backs when we go. It's been the real benefit of the device.
But there are issues....
My MIL proved to be far more digital savvy than I expected and started pulling "data" from the track points for my H2 rides...
