ConvoyIM vs Strecke

Communicating with riders and drivers in medium to large groups is often complicated and unsafe. For instance, motorcycle riders use hand signals for passing communications front to back but how does someone in the middle or back of the convoy pass communications to the leader? What happens if you’re having vehicle problems or get separated from the group? Convoy.im allows everyone in the convoy to communicate with everyone else with a single tap on the app. We’ve identified a number of common one-touch messages and color coded them based on urgency such as: - Cops ahead - Vehicle problems - Gas needed - Rain gear time - Let’s eat (or drink) - Restroom break - Push-to-talk voice communications - Custom messages - Yes (thumbs up) - No (thumbs down) Custom messages give you the ability to send SMS text-like messages to everyone in your group without needing to know their phone numbers or email addresses. The messaging buttons are even large enough to use with gloves. Convoy.im users can create private ride or excursion events and share an event code with their fellow convoyers in their group. All convoy communications stay within the private event rather than being announced to everyone in the vicinity. Private event groups can also share their location with others in the group in case they get separated from the group or want to see where everyone is at.
