When looking at my daughters location the circle was glowing green instead of the usual solid blue line around her profile picture. Why?

Hi Lestermendo,


Those colored circles likely indicate that the contact's location cannot be accurately determined. This is similar to the transparent circle showing an estimation.


This page in the iCloud User Guide page has some information: Find the location of your friends on iCloud.com

"On the map, your friends are represented by orange dots with their initials or profile pictures. Your location appears as a blue dot. The shadows around the dots indicate the location’s accuracy (the smaller the shadow the better)."


We hope this helps.


Cheers.
