Ride Watch
Pick the people who worry — mom, spouse, riding buddy who stayed home. On a solo ride they get a live web link with your last known spot. No app, no account, no fee. Just a map and a timestamp.

The map
The whole state,
zero bars needed.
Every designated ORV, motorcycle, ATV and MCCCT route in Michigan, pulled straight from the DNR's official data and cached on your phone. When the trail drops into a dead zone — and it will — the map doesn't.
- Satellite + USGS topo basemaps. Every topo tile you browse is kept offline automatically, or grab a one-tap pack for your whole riding area.
- The paper maps, laid right on the map. All 190 official DNR trail maps, downloadable in-app. Stack them over the live trail map — the Tomahawk A, B and C loop sheets stitch together into one — with your GPS dot on top. No service required.
- Trail heads & systems. Waterloo to the Keweenaw: tap a system, see its routes, ride.
The reason this app exists
Somebody always
knows where you are.
Dirt biking is dangerous, cell coverage up north is a rumor, and "I'll be back by dinner" isn't a safety plan. This is the part we built first.
"Back by" check-ins
Tell the app when you'll be done. Blow past it without checking in and your watchers get an alert with your last position — with a level-headed checklist, not a panic button. Dead zones alone never trigger an alarm.
Group live map
On crew rides everyone sees everyone. A rider goes quiet, the group gets a nudge. Someone goes down, one tap alerts the whole group with a pin — and any rider can run the ride, not just the organizer.
GPS that disappears
Safety pings exist to get you home, not to build a data business. Every safety location is hard-deleted within five minutes of ride end. Recorded tracks are separate, private by default, and yours.
The logbook
Prove the ride
happened.
Hit record and ride. Distance, moving time, speed and elevation — logged offline, uploaded when you're back in coverage, drawn as a breadcrumb you can follow back out when every two-track starts looking the same.
- Back to the truck. Your start is pinned on the first GPS fix, so the way back is always one glance away.
- Your year at a glance. Miles, rides, hours and trails, plus badges worth earning.
- GPX in, GPX out. Import routes from anywhere; export any track with one tap.
- Crew leaderboard. Monthly miles against your friends. Settle it on the trail.
- Brap kudos. Like Strava kudos, but louder.
The crew
Never scroll a
dead group chat again.
Post a ride with a flexible window — "Saturday, anytime after 9" — and riders within 30 miles whose schedules overlap get pinged. Public, friends-only or invite-only. Weather on every ride card, chat built in, photos from the trail.
- Real races & club events. CCC tours, AMA District 14 hare scrambles and enduros — dates, staging locations and GPX routes, right on the Rides tab.
- One link makes a buddy. Send your invite link; whoever taps it is on your crew. No search, no friend-request purgatory.
- Trail talk. A community feed for conditions, closures and today's-ride photos, tagged by trail so the beta is there when you search.
Run a club or a race?
Every event gets a public page with a QR code and direct GPX downloads — put it on the flyer and your route is in riders' pockets. Free for clubs. Talk to us.
