Ares Maps: Avoid Danger

Fast doesn't always mean safe. Discover the first pedestrian navigator that puts your safety first.

Traditional map apps calculate the shortest route, often taking you through dark or isolated streets. Ares Maps revolutionizes how you move: it's the smart navigation app that calculates the safest and most well-lit walking route for you.

WHY CHOOSE ARES MAPS?
Thanks to our innovative proprietary A.R.E.S. (Aggregated Risk & Environment Score) algorithm, the app analyzes dozens of open data sets in real time: public lighting, police stations, surveillance cameras, population density, and open businesses. The result? A clear and intuitive map that shows you safe streets in green and those to avoid in red.

🗺️ SMART WALKING NAVIGATION
• Choose your priority: select from Safe, Safest, and Most Illuminated modes.
• Get a detailed Safety Report before you start walking to evaluate your route in advance.
• Precise maps for walking in the city, ideal during the day and essential at night.

🚨 SOS EMERGENCY MODE
• A lifesaver button: instantly send a notification with your real-time GPS location to your emergency contacts.
• The app automatically starts an ambient audio recording and opens an encrypted chat with your responders. The recordings are sent in the chat and saved locally on your phone for any eventuality.

📍 LIVE LOCATION SHARING
• Never walk alone. Share your route and real-time location with friends and family.
• Create your protection network by exchanging your "Ares Code" (a completely anonymous alphanumeric ID).
• Integrated in-app chat to update those waiting for you at home without having to close the map.

🛡️ SAFE POINTS AND COMMUNITY
• Discover all open venues, restaurants, shops, and facilities along your route in real-time. If you feel followed or in danger, you know exactly where to take refuge.
• Report the status of streetlights (on or off) to the community and confirm the reliability of Safe Points.

🔒 PRIVACY BY DESIGN (YOUR DATA IS SAFE)
• Zero Profiling: No data is linked to your phone number, only to your random Ares Code and your Alias.
• Privacy Zones: The GPS never tracks your movements within 150 meters of your starting and arrival points.
• Stasis Filter: No data collection when you are stationary.
• Immediate Deletion: Once Live Sharing or SOS sessions end, chats, audio, and coordinates are irreversibly destroyed from our servers. We do not sell your movements to anyone.

IDEAL USE CASES:
🌍 Tourism and Travel: Explore unknown cities always having a safe map, local landmarks, and guides at your fingertips.
🌙 Nightlife and Commuting: Return home or to your hotel after a night out, a concert, or work in complete peace of mind.
🚶 Urban Trekking and Sports: Jog or walk while monitoring public lighting and open services.
🎓 Students: Move from the station to the campus with the security of an always-active protection network.
