CircleMap uses smart, motion-aware tracking that adapts to whether you&#39;re walking, driving, or<br>   stationary — saving battery while keeping locations fresh.<br><br>  PRIVATE CIRCLES<br>  Create circles for different groups — family, close friends, travel companions, or temporary events. Invite members by phone number.

Toggle location sharing on or off per circle, set sharing schedules, or switch to approximate mode when you<br>  want privacy. Your data is encrypted and never sold.<br><br>  FAMILY SUBSCRIPTION<br>  One Pro subscription covers your entire family. When you upgrade, every member of your circles automatically gets Pro features — no<br>  separate purchases needed.<br><br>  PRO FEATURES<br>  - Unlimited circles and members<br>  - 30-day location history<br>  - Unlimited safe zones<br>  - Driving reports and safety scores<br>  - Voice calls<br>  - Unlimited share links<br><br>  CircleMap is designed for families who want peace of mind, friend groups coordinating meetups, and anyone who values staying connected<br>  with the people who matter most.
