One clear map

A GPS location tracker built for people who know each other

Location Tracker: GPS Friends combines the everyday tools people expect from a family locator and friend tracker without pretending a phone number alone can reveal someone’s location.

How it works

Connect first. Share by choice.

Send a private invite

Share a link, code, or QR code with a friend or family member.

Your contact accepts

Their location appears only after they join your circle and enable sharing.

Stay in control

Pause sharing, remove a connection, revoke location permission, or delete your synced account.
