## What is Ride Beacon?

Ride Beacon helps groups stay connected during motorcycle rides, cycling trips, and other group adventures.
Create a ride, invite others with a QR code or ride code, and see participating riders together on a live map. Riders can follow the leader’s route, check each other’s location and speed, and communicate using built-in group messaging.
Features include:
• Live location sharing for every rider
• Real-time group map
• Leader route tracking
• Easy joining with QR codes or ride codes
• Ride lobby before departure
• Group messaging and notifications
• Leadership transfer between riders
• Offline-leader takeover when needed
• Background location tracking during active rides
• Persistent rides that can be reopened after restarting the app  
Ride Beacon makes it easier to keep your group together, follow the planned route, and know where everyone is throughout the ride.
Location sharing is used only while participating in a ride and requires location permission. Continued use of GPS in the background may reduce battery life.
