ALWAYS.

Locwire is a real-time location sharing app for families, friends,
and teams. Create a private group called a Wire, share a unique
invite code, and the moment your people join — everyone appears as
a live, named pin on your shared map.

No more 'where are you?' calls. No more check-in texts. Just open
the app and know.

WHAT IS A WIRE?
────────────────────────────────

A Wire is your private location group. You create one, get a unique
invite code, and share it with whoever you choose. The moment they
join — they're on the map. Location sharing inside a Wire is mutual
and transparent: everyone can see everyone.

Use Wires for:
- Families: school runs, commutes, and evening check-ins
- Friends: road trips, group travel, and festivals
- Teams: field staff, deliveries, and site coordination
- Travellers: staying connected when the group splits up

You can join multiple Wires at once. Each Wire is completely
separate and private.

CORE FEATURES
────────────────────────────────

LIVE LOCATION FOR EVERY MEMBER
Every Wire member appears on a shared live map with their name,
current speed, and direction of travel. Updates happen automatically,
in real time — no manual refresh, ever.

REAL-TIME TRIP TRACKING
Watch each person's journey trace itself across the map as they
travel. Every turn, every stop, every speed change is plotted live.
It's like riding shotgun — from anywhere.

7-DAY TRIP HISTORY
Every journey is automatically saved. Tap any past trip to replay
the full route, review timestamps, check stop durations, and see
total distance covered. Trips are stored for 7 days, then deleted
automatically for your privacy.

POWERED BY APPLE MAPS
Locwire uses Apple Maps for fast, accurate, battery-efficient map
rendering — native to iOS and seamlessly integrated with your
device's location system.

GPS + GPRS DUAL-MODE LOCATION
GPS satellite positioning delivers pinpoint accuracy outdoors.
GPRS cell-tower fallback automatically takes over indoors, in
tunnels, or in buildings where GPS is blocked — so tracking
never drops. Your device switches silently between modes.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE ALERTS
Set alerts for home, school, office, or any custom location.
Get a push notification the moment a Wire member arrives or
leaves — without ever opening the app.

IN-WIRE MESSAGING
Chat directly inside your Wire. Drop a live location pin, send
a message, or share your ETA — all without switching apps.

FULL PRIVACY CONTROLS
Pause your location at any time without leaving a Wire. Your
position disappears from the map instantly. Resume sharing with
a single tap. Your location is never shared with advertisers.
