Groups who want to see each other on the map
Live group location sharing
See your whole group on the map — shared only with the group, and only while you're out.
The problem
General location-sharing apps share all the time with individuals, and don't know anything about your route or your ride.
How Tarmac helps
How it works
- Step 1
Scoped to the ride
Positions are shared with group members during an active ride, not all day.
- Step 2
On the same map as the route
See where everyone is relative to the planned route.
- Step 3
Useful for sweep and lead
Lead knows when to slow; sweep knows who's struggling.
