Live location sharing

Share your live location while you drive together

In Tripperz everyone in the ride shares their live location with the group, on the same map as the route. You see who is ahead, who fell behind and how the group is doing, without calling or texting.

Live location sharing made for the road

Most apps share a dot on a map. That tells you where someone is, but not where they are going or whether they are still on the right road. Tripperz shows every driver on the route you are all driving. You see who is leading, who took the wrong exit and where you can wait for each other.

During a ride, or just with a friend

During a ride your location is shared with the people in that ride, and only while the ride is active. When the ride is over, sharing stops by itself.

Outside a ride you can share locations with a friend for 1 hour, 8 hours or until you stop. That always works both ways: you see each other, or neither of you does. Want to be invisible for a while? Turn on ghost mode.

Why Tripperz

More than a dot on a map

Live location sharing that knows you are driving a route together.

The whole group on one map

Everyone who joined the ride is on the live map, with their own profile photo.

On the route you share

Positions are shown on the route of the group, so you see at a glance who left it.

See who is leading

The map shows who is in front as road captain and who is further back.

Share with friends too

Share locations with a friend for 1 hour, 8 hours or until you stop. It always works both ways.

Ghost mode

Turn on ghost mode and you are invisible to friends for 24 hours. After that you are visible again automatically.

It stops by itself

Sharing in a ride ends when the ride ends. The app does not use your location in the background.

FAQ

Questions about live location sharing

How do I share my live location with a group while driving?

Create a ride in Tripperz and invite the group with a link or QR code. While the ride is active, everyone who joined shares their position with the group and appears on the live map, on the route you drive together.

How is this different from sharing your location in WhatsApp or Google Maps?

WhatsApp and Google Maps show where someone is. Tripperz shows the whole group on the route you drive together, with the same turn-by-turn directions for everyone. You see who is leading and who left the route, and you do not have to set up sharing with each person separately.

Who can see my location?

During a ride: the other participants of that ride, while the ride is active. Outside a ride: only friends you agreed to share locations with. With ghost mode you are invisible to friends for 24 hours.

Does location sharing stop by itself?

Yes. Sharing in a ride ends when the ride ends. Sharing with a friend ends after the time you chose (1 hour or 8 hours), or when one of you stops it. Tripperz does not use your location in the background.

Does everyone need the app?

Every driver who wants to navigate with the group and be visible on the map installs Tripperz and joins the ride with the invite link or QR code. Tripperz is available as an Android beta; the iOS version is in development.

Is live location sharing free?

Yes. Group rides, live location sharing and navigation are part of the Free plan, and you do not need a card. Premium and Pro keep more route history. Clubs and organizers can take an organization plan with a 14-day trial.
