Cruising With Squad

“CwS” (Cruising With Squad) is the ultimate location-sharing app designed specifically for driving enthusiasts, car clubs, and touring groups to record and share their routes in real time.

Your driving data and tracks can be rendered onto the map anytime from your history folder and can be exported as a standard GPX file, allowing you to easily import and visualize your epic journeys on Google My Maps or other platform tools.

By sharing a secure Room ID, you and your friends can track each other's live locations directly on a single map. It is the perfect companion for group road trips where everyone is heading to the same destination but choosing their own scenic paths and exploring freely.

【Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)】

(1) When is the best time to use this app? • Have you ever felt anxious when you arrived at the meeting spot, but your friends hadn’t shown up yet, and you couldn't reach them because they were driving? With CwS, you can see exactly where your squad is traveling on the map in real time. No more worrying! • Want to recreate those legendary TV car-challenge shows where one team takes the highway and the other takes the winding backroads to see who arrives first? CwS tracks everyone's live progress, allowing you to enjoy a thrilling, law-abiding navigational challenge with your friends! After the drive, you can overlay the exported GPX files onto a map to compare everyone's route choices at a single glance.

(2) Do I have to share my location all the time? Not at all! Your location is only shared within the room while you explicitly press the "Start Recording" button. You have absolute, 100% control over your privacy at all times.

(3) Does it run in the background? Yes, it fully supports background operation. However, to deliver the most beautiful, ultra-precise track onto the map without losing a single meter, CwS is optimized as an "Always-On Cockpit Display" that automatically prevents your screen from dimming or sleeping. *If you lock your device or place it in your pocket/bag to run in the background, iOS enters an aggressive battery-saving mode that automatically limits GPS tracking intervals. This can cause your track lines to appear slightly simplified or jagged. This is an official OS-level power-saving specification, not a bug. For the silkiest, most accurate real-time tracking, we highly recommend mounting your iPhone onto a dashboard/handlebar holder with the screen on!

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
