PODS GPS Buddy Tracker

Pods Buddy Tracker keeps your group connected on the move.

Whether you're caravanning to a festival, coordinating a cycling club, keeping tabs on the family road trip, or just wondering how far away your mate is — Pods Buddy Tracker puts everyone on one shared, live map.

No accounts. No passwords. No fees.

Create a profile in seconds: pick a name, a colour, and one of 28 unique avatars. Share your Pod's invite code with your crew, and everyone appears on the map instantly. That's it. Your location is only ever shared with people in your Pod — never public, never sold and destroyed as soon as you sign out of the app or after 30 days if you don't.

Real-time location sharing

See every Pod member's position on a live map, updated automatically in the background
Speed and direction shown for moving members
Online status and last-seen timestamps so you know who's active
Works across Android and iPhone — one invite code works for everyone
Stay in control

Toggle location sharing off any time from your profile — go invisible with one tap
Battery-aware updates: the app throttles back when you're stationary, so it barely touches your battery
Leave a Pod any time; your data is removed from the group immediately
