Hi,  
yesterday I installed Owntracks to send position from mobile to my pc with node red \> Worldmap.

There are 4 mode on mobile how to send the position but I don't need this option, I'd like to have the opportunity to send a request of position from pc to mobile and get the data.

It's possible?

(otherwise there is a tracker that allows me to do it?)

Yes this should be possible.  
Depending on how you made the connection it's possible to send commands from your pc to the device.  
One of the commands is to get the location `{"_type":"cmd","action":"reportLocation"}`  
Have a look at the [docs](https://owntracks.org/booklet/guide/apps/) for more info.
