About Tripperz
What is Tripperz?
Tripperz is a group navigation app for driving together. You plan a trip, invite friends or members via a link or QR code, and everyone follows the same route while seeing each other live on one map. Trips and routes are saved to your drive history afterwards.
How does live location sharing work?
While a trip is active, every participant who has joined the trip in the Tripperz app shares their position with the group. The live map shows where each driver is and who is leading, so nobody gets lost after a wrong exit.
Does everyone in the group need the app?
Each driver who wants to navigate with the group and share their live location installs the Tripperz app and joins the trip. The organizer creates the trip and shares the invite link or QR code.
Can I drive together with a group in Google Maps?
Google Maps navigates for one driver. You can share your location and send a route as a link, but each phone calculates its own route and there is no shared ride. In Tripperz everyone who joins the ride gets the same route and sees the whole group live on one map.
How is Tripperz different from sharing your live location in WhatsApp?
WhatsApp shows where people are in a chat. Tripperz shows the whole group on the route you drive together, on the map you navigate on, with the same turn-by-turn directions for everyone.
Is Tripperz free?
Yes. The Free plan covers collaborative trips, live tracking and your drive history, with 1,500 km of saved route history. Premium (3,500 km) and Pro (unlimited) keep more route history, and organization plans for clubs, businesses and events include a 14-day trial.
Does Tripperz work for motorcycle groups and car clubs?
Yes. Road captain mode lets one rider or driver lead the route while the rest of the group follows the live convoy on their phone. Clubs can create an organization with member management, participant limits per trip and a web dashboard for organizers.
Which platforms is Tripperz available on?
Tripperz is currently in beta. An Android beta is available as a direct APK download from this website; the iOS version is still in development. Organization management and billing run in the web dashboard at dashboard.tripperz.eu.
Questions from motorcycle groups
Can I use Tripperz as navigation for a motorcycle group?
Yes. Tripperz gives every rider turn-by-turn navigation on their phone for the same group route, and shows the live position of the whole group on one map. One rider can act as road captain and lead the ride.
What is road captain mode?
Road captain mode makes one rider the leader of the trip. The road captain leads and manages the route, and the rest of the group follows that route in the app. The live map shows who is leading.
What happens when a rider falls behind or misses a turn?
The rider still has the group route on their phone, and the live map shows their position to the rest of the group. That way everyone can see where the others are without stopping to call or text.
Does every rider need the app?
Every rider who wants to navigate with the group and share their position installs Tripperz and joins the trip via the invite link or QR code. The Free plan is enough for that.
Can our motorcycle club manage members in Tripperz?
Yes. An organization plan gives your club its own space with member management, participant limits per trip and a web dashboard for organizers. Club allows up to 50 members and 20 participants per trip; Business and Enterprise allow more.
Which phones does Tripperz support?
The Tripperz beta is available for Android as an APK download from this website. The iOS version is in development.
Questions from car clubs
How do I organize a convoy with Tripperz?
Create a trip, set the destination and route, and share the invite link or QR code with your members. During the drive every car shows up on the live map and the road captain leads the convoy.
Can I manage club members in Tripperz?
Yes. With an organization plan your club gets its own organization with member management in the web dashboard. Club allows up to 50 members, Business up to 250 and Enterprise up to 1,000.
How does the participant limit per trip work?
Each organization plan has a maximum number of participants per trip: 20 on Club, 50 on Business and 100 on Enterprise. Pick the plan that fits your largest drives.
Is there a free trial for car clubs?
Yes. You get one 14-day trial for an organization plan, for the plan you choose. You add a payment method when you start it, and the subscription starts automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Yes. The Free plan includes collaborative trips, live tracking and drive stats with 1,500 km of saved route history. No card is required.
How do we see each other on the road?
Everyone joins the same trip in the Tripperz app. While the trip is active, each participant shares their position and the live map shows every car in the group.
Who can see my location?
During a trip, your live position is shared with the other participants of that trip while the trip is active. The privacy policy explains which data Tripperz stores and how long.
Can we plan the route before we leave?
Yes. In the trip hub you set the destination, stops and trip settings, and invite friends with a link or QR code, so everything is ready when you set off.
Do we keep the trip afterwards?
Yes. Trips are saved to your drive history with distance, routes and posts. The Free plan keeps 1,500 km of route history, Premium 3,500 km and Pro all of it.
