YOUR PHONE STILL DOES THE REST

Messages, FaceTime and phone calls keep working alongside LeadNav, over cellular, over Wi-Fi, and over Starlink, on the device already mounted in the dash.

What your phone cannot do is put everyone's position on one map, or let the whole team hear one call at once. Those are the parts we build.

WHAT LEADNAV ADDS IS THE PICTURE, AND NOW THE VOICE

Talking tells you what one person knows. The map tells you what the whole team is doing.

Live positions for every device in the team. Online or offline status on each teammate, so you know at a glance whether a position is current or whether someone has gone dark. Speed on each teammate alongside your own. Off-screen arrows pointing to teammates outside your current view. Breadcrumb trails showing where each teammate has actually been, not just where they are now. Multiple teams, so the race crew, the chase crew and the family are not all fighting for room on one map.

It keeps working with the screen off. Background tracking means positions keep flowing while the phone is in a pocket or the iPad is asleep. Most tracking apps quietly stop the moment the screen locks. This one does not.

With a Pro License, Comms puts a hold-to-talk pad on the map and on your wireless button. Press, speak, release, and your teammates hear you a few seconds later. Every message is also written out as text in the team thread, so a call you missed at speed is still there when you look down.

Over whatever connection you have

Group tracking rides on any internet connection. No proprietary radio, no dedicated tracker, no separate service plan.

Cellular, where you have a bar or two. Position updates need very little.

Wi-Fi, at camp, in the pits, at the hotel the night before.

Starlink, where there is nothing else. A dish at camp or a terminal in the chase truck now puts a connection in places that had none five years ago, and group tracking works straight over it with nothing to configure.

When the connection drops, the app keeps navigating offline and picks the team back up when a path returns.

No account. No login. Nothing to harvest.

Every other tracking app starts the same way. Create an account, verify an email, hand over a profile they can build on.

LeadNav has no account system at all. You cannot create a login because there is not one to create. We do not have your email address, your name, or a password, because there is nowhere to put them.

Your team identity is a random string the app generates. It is not your device ID, not your phone number, not your Apple ID, and it is not derived from anything about you or your hardware.

Each team you run with gets its own separate random ID. The race crew's ID and the family's ID have nothing in common.

Reset it whenever you want, any team, one tap. Your ID is the key to your position, so you decide who holds it and you can change the lock any time.

We keep as little as the map needs. Positions are kept only long enough to draw the team's trails and expire on their own within about a month. Voice messages expire within about a week and their text within about a month. Nothing is tied to a name, an email or an account, because there is none.

No account means no profile, no advertising identifier, and no behavioral record. There is no dataset here to sell. That is a consequence of how it was built, not a promise we are asking you to trust.

After the run

With Show Teammate Tracks on, part of the Pro License, every session saves as a file under the team. When the day is over you still have where everyone went, which is the difference between "that went fine" and an actual after-action review.

For a race organization that is a record of who ran what and when. For search and rescue it is coverage you can prove. For a work crew it is a timesheet that draws itself.
