Where is everyone, and where are we meeting?
Group trips run on a pile of apps: a group chat, a shared album, a maps app for finding each other, and a note somewhere with the plan. Caravan puts them in one place, shared with just the people on the trip.
Make a Caravan for your trip, invite everyone by email or with a code, and the whole group sees the same map, plan, photos and chat from day one to the last photo upload.
Free to download. No ads. Location is shared only when you turn it on.
See where everyone in the group is while the trip is on, and get directions to any of them. Each traveler chooses whether to share, trip by trip.
Drop a meeting point for a quick change of plan, for the whole group or just a few people. Everyone it's for gets an alarm 30 minutes before and on time.
The day-by-day plan, kept by the trip's organizers. Everyone can comment on an item, and the plan becomes the record of what you actually did.
One chat for the whole trip, with reactions and read receipts, so the conversation stays with the plan instead of in another app.
Everyone adds photos to one album. Tag who's in each shot and which moment it's from, and export full-quality originals whenever you like.
Invite people by email or share a code. Organizers keep the plan tidy, and everyone else can add meeting points, photos and messages.
Off until you turn it on. Location sharing is a switch for each trip, and it starts off.
Only while the trip is on. Sharing runs only during the trip's dates, and stops when the trip ends.
Only your group. Only the people in that Caravan see where you are, never anyone else.
Gone when you stop. Turn sharing off, leave the trip, or sign out, and your last location is deleted.
Free to download. Bring the whole group along.
