The road is better when it’s shared. COBA connects vanlifers, motorhome travelers, campervan owners, and nomads everywhere. See who’s traveling nearby, organize a meetup, ask for help, buy and sell gear, and stay connected with the people you meet along the way. Created on the road by a traveling family, for travelers. REAL TIME MAP See travelers around you, wherever you are in the world. Want some privacy? Ghost Mode lets you disappear from the map with a single tap. And to find people like you, filter the map by hobby or vehicle. TOOLS FOR NOMADS A toolbox built for life on the road, all in one tab: • Fuel & consumption: log your fill-ups and AdBlue to track your real consumption, your cost per 100 km and your next fill-up. Multiple vehicles, any currency, CSV export. • Border crossing (early access for COBA+): papers, customs, vignettes, green card, mandatory equipment, sleeping in your van and pets, country by country. Follow a country to get an alert when its guide changes. • Spirit level: lay your phone flat and see how many centimeters to raise each wheel. • Sun & shade: the sun's path hour by hour over your spot, so you know which way to park. Works offline. • Departure checklist, with a widget to tick items off from your home screen. • AR size check: project your vehicle at real size to see if it fits. • Who's that van?: scan a license plate to find a COBA member. And new tools keep coming. GET-TOGETHERS, EVENTS AND HELP One button on the map for everything happening around you. Invite nearby travelers for a drink, organize or join an event, and if you break down or run into trouble, alert the community. Helping each other is part of life on the road. CLASSIFIEDS Sell, look for something, offer a service or share a spot with fellow travelers. Listings by city and distance, alerts so you never miss a thing, and ratings between buyer and seller so you can trade with confidence. CHAT BUILT FOR TRAVEL Messages, photos, voice messages, and reactions. Transcribe voice messages into text, translate messages into your language, and find any conversation with search. Join country based chat rooms to prepare your next stop and connect with the local community. YOUR TRAVEL JOURNAL Your route and the people you meet build your story as you travel. Keep track of who you met and where you met them, and share your travel log with your friends. A PROFILE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU Your travel crew, your vehicle, your travel companion, your interests: find travelers you genuinely have something in common with. A COMMUNITY, NOT JUST ANOTHER SOCIAL NETWORK No ads, no race for likes, no selling your data. A moderated and welcoming community designed to turn chance encounters on the road into real connections. COBA+ Some advanced features are available through a COBA+ subscription, with monthly, yearly, or lifetime options, including access to the VIP chat room and early access to new tools.
