Group Connect

About Group Connect Android App

Know that your friends and family are safe when you’re connected with Group Connect, the number one, free, real-time location sharing app.
With Group Connect, you can see the people you care about on a live, secure map. You can share meeting points, chat through text or call, even send an SOS alert. For those in your family who don’t have a smart phone, like Granny or young children, we have GPS watches with the app built-in so you can rest assured that the whole family is safe.

App features include:
Location Sharing: Automatically share your location with your friends and family members on a private, secure map.
Map: See the real-time location of your friends and family members on a private, secure map.
Navigation: Get step by step navigation to your friends or family members using the ‘Direct Me’ functionality.
Chat: Use the messaging functionality to communicate with your group.
Meeting Points: Create meeting points to help you coordinate and meet up with your group. Drop a pin or search for places near you. Automatically receive reminders and navigation to find your meeting points.
Perimeters: Create perimeters to automatically notify you if a group member leaves or enters a predefined area.
Warning Points: If you see something dangerous, drop a warning point pin to visually share and warn your group members.
SOS Alert: If you ever get in distress, simply activate your SOS button to automatically alert your group members.
GPS Watches: For your young kids or ageing parents who don’t have a smartphone, we’ve developed GPS watches that integrate with our location sharing platform. The entire family can take advantage of our free location sharing service.

- Location Sharing (GPS Positioning/, AGPS and LBS triangulation)
- Calls – Two-way communication (make and receive calls)
- SOS - Once activated the system will automatically notify the entire group and call the pre-set emergency contact number.
- Perimeters – get notifications when a user enters or exits a predefined perimeter or safe zone.

Please Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background of your device can dramatically decrease battery life, but our technology and algorithm always keeps your battery consumption to a minimum.
