Stay connected with your crew — even off the grid. Crowd Compass pairs with your Crowd Compass device to give you real-time GPS friend tracking, mesh messaging, and offline maps, all without Wi-Fi or cell service. Built for festivals, backcountry trips, and anywhere the network ends.
KEY FEATURES:
Real-Time GPS Friend Tracking
Each Crowd Compass has a built-in GPS. See every friend's live location on an interactive map — positions are relayed over the mesh radio with no cell towers required. Your phone's GPS automatically supplements the compass for even better accuracy.
Off-Grid Messaging
Send and receive text messages through the mesh radio network — no Wi-Fi or cellular needed. Get push notifications so you never miss a message.
Offline Festival & Area Maps
Download maps for any area so you never lose your bearings. Browse festival maps with stages, vendors, restrooms, and points of interest — all available offline.
Drop Waypoints
Long-press the map to drop a named pin. Waypoints sync to your Crowd Compass so your friends can see them too.
LTE Performance Boost
When you have cell or Wi-Fi, bridge the mesh to the cloud to extend your group's range beyond radio distance.
Personalize Your Compass
Set your color and display name. Load pre-written quick messages onto your Crowd Compass so you can send them without your phone.
Radio Profiles
Choose a radio profile to balance range vs. speed for your environment.
Effortless Group Pairing
Share and join groups instantly with QR codes — no need for everyone to be in the same place.
Runs in the Background
Keeps your Bluetooth connection alive and locations flowing even when the app isn't on screen.
