## What is SHIFTPod Beacon?

SHIFTPOD BEACON is a mobile location based Augmented Reality technology that changes the way you connect with people, places and things by looking through the camera of your smart phone. Now even in the craziest places you can find your SHIFTPOD and campmates.

Share your location cross platform through a text message link.

Save locations with pre-made tags like Parking and Meet up spots so you can find them later.

Open the app and look through your phone as if you were taking a picture- to find your SHIFTPOD, your friends, your car and more!

BEACON doesn't require network or Wifi service and works best outdoors.

Flares: You have three pre-made tags you can add with the touch of a button.

•Tag your SHIFTPOD location
•Parking spots
•Meet up spots 

Only you can see your Beacon tags so they are 100% private, unless you send them to friends in a Sharelink.

When you want to return, simply point Beacon camera and head in the direction of your ShiftPod. 

Make the Shift!

Using my iPhone X, can’t get past the “get started” page. It doesn’t matter how many times I press the button, I can’t get started. Womp womp...
