Athar puts every car in your convoy on one map, with or without signal. Built for the dunes of the UAE and the GCC. LEAD OR JOIN A CONVOY Start a convoy and read its six-letter code over the radio, share a link, or show a QR code. Each car joins with its driver's name, car and colour. You let each one in, or open the convoy to anyone with the code. SEE EVERY CAR, HONESTLY Every car's position, distance and direction from you, with how old it is. A car that loses signal fades and says when it was last heard, so nothing old is ever shown as live. SOS, FREE FOR EVERYONE One button sends your position and a note to every convoy you are in. It goes the moment there is any signal, and stays on their screens until you say you're OK. You can also send your coordinates by message. HAZARDS Mark soft sand, a sharp drop, rocks or a stuck car where you stand, and the convoy is warned as it approaches. Put a lasting hazard on the public map for every Athar driver; notes stay inside your convoy. OFFLINE MAPS Satellite and road maps for Al Qudra, Al Badayer, Fossil Rock, Liwa and the Empty Quarter's edge, ready to download, or draw your own area. Your position always comes from your phone's GPS, signal or not. TRIPS Every trip records to your phone first: distance, time, climb and an elevation profile. Follow a saved track back the way you came, turn by turn, and share a picture of the day without where it started or ended. CARPLAY The map, SOS and alerts on your car's screen. ATHAR PREMIUM For the leader. Everyone you invite joins free. - Convoys of up to 50 cars, instead of 2 - One-tap hazard buttons for everyone in your convoy - Every offline area at driving detail, and areas you draw - All your trips, and trip summaries - Notes for your drivers after every convoy you lead - The terrain map - Your convoy and following a track on CarPlay AED 19.99 a month or AED 169.99 a year, with 3 days free. The first 30 Premium members get 2 months free, then AED 99.99 a year for as long as they stay subscribed, and a numbered Founder badge. SOS, seeing hazards, hazard alerts and joining a convoy are always free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Location in the background is used only during a trip or a convoy, so your convoy keeps seeing you with the screen off. Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
