TrailFollow

Two ways people fail to arrive together: everyone leaves at the wrong time, or the group gets split up on the road. TrailFollow handles both.

MEETING SOMEWHERE
Set the place and the time everyone should arrive. TrailFollow watches live traffic and tells each person when THEY need to head out — a 20-minute drive and a 50-minute drive get different alerts for the same 7pm dinner. No more "leaving now!" texts, no more one person waiting 25 minutes alone at the table.
• Everyone sees who's on the way and their live ETA.
• You get told when to leave, even with the app closed.
• If someone's running late, the group finds out early — not at 7:05.
• Heading out turns the meetup into a live map so you can see each other arrive.

DRIVING THERE TOGETHER
Caravanning or road-tripping? One person leads, everyone else joins with a short code, and the whole group sees each other live on one map.
• Follow the leader — if the lead car takes a detour, followers get a tap-to-follow alert that opens Google Maps to the leader's live spot.
• Look after each other — the leader is alerted if someone stops too long, falls behind, or loses signal.
• Arrive together — the trip ends itself once everyone reaches the destination.

You keep navigating with the Google Maps app you already know. TrailFollow adds the shared layer on top, and works on your car screen too: pick a place from the head unit and hand off straight to navigation, while the car shows where everyone is.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO SIGN-UPS
Share a join code by text and you're going. Your location is shared only with the people in that trip or meetup, and only while it's running.

FREE PLAN
2 meetups and 2 trips every month, with you plus one other person on each. Starting one and joining someone else's both count toward your allowance, which resets on the 1st. Reconnecting to something you're already in never counts.

PREMIUM
• Unlimited meetups and trips
• Unlimited people in a group
• Alerts if someone stops, falls behind, or loses signal
• Trip history
• Pinned favorite places and contacts

Note: TrailFollow uses your location in the foreground during an active trip (via an ongoing notification) so it can keep the group in sync while you navigate in Google Maps.
