The caravan navigation app for groups who move as one.
In active development
SquadNav keeps your entire group on the same road — real-time location sharing, synchronized turn-by-turn navigation, and instant alerts when anyone falls behind, stops, or goes off-route. Whether it's a road trip with friends, a convoy to a campsite, or a fleet moving in formation, SquadNav turns a scattered group into a caravan.
Caravan Groups Create a group in seconds and share the invite code. Everyone who joins sees each other on a live map from the moment they connect.
Synchronized Navigation The group leader sets a destination. SquadNav calculates the route and distributes it to every member simultaneously — everyone follows the same path, no one guesses.
Live Caravan Monitoring SquadNav watches the caravan so you don't have to. Automatic alerts fire the moment anyone:
- Leaves the route
- Falls more than 2 km behind the group
- Stops moving for over a minute
Group Chat A shared in-group chat keeps communication flowing. System alerts from SquadNav appear inline, so your group stays informed without switching apps.
File Sharing Share documents, screenshots, and anything else with your group directly inside the app.
CarPlay Support Full navigation UI on your car's display. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel.
