## What is Live Map?

Live Map puts your whole team on one live map, on your Apple Watch and iPhone. Built for airsoft, paintball, milsim and team outdoor games.

• Every feature included in free tier. No ads, no account, no subscription.
• Pro is a one-time purchase, and everyone in your room gets its benefits.
• Option to operate on your own server.

Play from your wrist. Apple Watch shows your teammates, markers and heart rate, taps you when something needs your attention, and works alongside the iPhone in your pocket or on its own.

SEE YOUR TEAM
• Live teammate positions with callsigns, headings and heart rate.
• Tap any teammate or marker to see how far away it is.

MARKERS
Place three kinds of markers: team orders, tactical sightings and environment. Tactical sightings fade to gray over five minutes so old information looks old. Team orders and environment markers stay until they're moved or cleared.

BUILT FOR THE WRIST
• Full app on Apple Watch, with your iPhone or on its own.
• Haptic taps when you come within 20 m of a tactical or environment marker, and when a teammate places an order.
• Live heart rate, shared with your team. The workout is not saved to Apple Health.
• Tagged out? Press and hold the heart rate pill to mark yourself down.

JOIN IN SECONDS
• No account, no email, no password. Pick a callsign, a room name and a PIN.
• Scan a QR code or tap an invite link to join. Players without the app go straight to the App Store.
• Team tags: start your callsign with [alpha] to join team alpha. Players who share a tag appear green and see each other's orders; everyone else appears blue. Join more than one team with [alpha,bravo]Callsign.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Positions, headings, heart rate and markers are encrypted with a key made from your room PIN.
• Advanced users can run rooms on their own free Firebase database.

PRO
A one-time purchase, no subscription. Host rooms of up to 12 players and keep the latest 20 markers on the map. Everyone in a Pro host's room gets these limits, including players who haven't bought Pro.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-17

User-facing

Hosting now shows other players. Before, the host could see no one. Host and Join now wait until the room is confirmed, and pressing the waiting button cancels it. Leave and Disband finish when the deletes are confirmed or after 5 seconds, whichever comes first.
Smooth position updates while the phone is in the background. The low-power GPS mode is gone, so squadmates no longer see you move in ~50 m jumps.
iOS map markers stay on their location while zooming, including near the status bar and home indicator.
Recenter is more reliable on iOS. Recentering while the map is already following now shows the follow lock.
Zooming with the Digital Crown works on watchOS 26.5.
No made-up position before the first GPS fix. The map and radar wait for a real location.
The stock MapKit blue dot no longer appears.

Under the hood

Tactical and Room uploads share one rate limit, and each upload window sends only its final result, with deletes first. placedByCallsign was removed.
If the server refuses a listener, it detaches and tries again after at least 3 seconds. Listeners now attach in only one place.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-09
