SimpliGPS Go keeps your family, and the things your family cares about, on one live map. See where everyone is, know the moment they arrive somewhere, and stop asking "are you there yet?". LIVE LOCATION See your whole family on a single map, updating in real time. Tap anyone to see where they are, how long they have been there, and their phone battery, so you know if they are about to go offline. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE ALERTS Save the places that matter, like Home, School, the Gym or Grandma's house. Get notified the moment someone arrives or leaves. KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS Know they got to school, see when they leave a friend's house, and keep an eye on a new driver without hovering over them. AND THE THINGS THAT GO MISSING Add a SimpliGPS tracker to whatever you would hate to lose: - The dog or the cat, so a runaway is a map away, not a lost afternoon - Suitcases and bags, so you know if your luggage actually made the flight - The camper van or caravan, parked up or on the road - Motorbikes, e-bikes and pushbikes - The car, the trailer, the boat, the tools in the back They all appear on the same map as your family, so there is one place to look. ACTIVITY HISTORY Every trip and arrival in one simple timeline. Tap a trip to replay the route on a map and see exactly where it started and ended. DRIVING INSIGHTS See how a drive actually went, with a trip score plus speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration and sharp cornering. Ideal for a new driver in the family. BATTERY FRIENDLY Smart motion detection means the app only uses GPS when you are actually moving, and rests when you are still, so tracking does not drain the battery. ALSO GREAT FOR A SMALL TEAM Running a small crew of a few people? The same live map, arrival alerts and trip history work just as well for knowing when the team reached the job site and how the van was driven. Built for a handful of people, not a giant fleet, so there is nothing complicated to set up. EVERYONE OPTS IN Location sharing is always opt-in and clearly visible to the person sharing. You choose who is in your circle, and anyone can turn sharing off at any time. We never sell your data. Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life. SimpliGPS Go uses background location so the people you choose can see your location while the app is closed or not in use.
