Introducing Map2Point: one map for the whole group

Every group road trip has the same moment. Somewhere around the second gas stop, one car misses a turn, a phone battery dies, and suddenly six adults are standing in a parking lot trying to remember which exit everyone agreed on. Group texts get lost in traffic. "Share My Location" tells you where someone is, but not whether they're about to miss your exit, whether they've stopped, or whether they're still even driving.

We built Map2Point because none of the tools we already had were built for a group. They're built for one person, going to one place.

What's actually different

Map2Point's home screen isn't a route — it's a map. Every vehicle in your group shows up on it, live, the moment they start sharing. Not a ping every 30 seconds: a real-time position feed built on the same infrastructure a live-tracking product would use in production, not a polling loop bolted onto a regular maps SDK.

From there, everything else is built around the same idea — a road trip is something a group does together, not something six individuals happen to be doing near each other:

• One shared map, not six separate ones.
• Push-to-talk voice messages, because typing while merging onto a highway is a bad idea, and a phone call ties up one person's line.
• Shared stops, proposed by anyone and approved by the trip organizer, so "let's stop for gas" turns into an actual pin everyone can navigate to instead of a group text nobody reads until they're already past the exit.
• Group alerts — if someone falls behind, stops moving, or drops offline, everyone finds out from the app, not by pulling over and calling around.

Built for the driver, not just the planner

A lot of what we spent time on doesn't show up in a screenshot: large touch targets, minimal on-screen clutter, haptics instead of things that need to be read. The person actually driving should be able to glance at Map2Point the same way they'd glance at a speedometer — not read it like a text message.

We're in public beta now on iOS and Android, with this web app alongside it for planning trips and managing invitations from a computer before anyone gets in a car. If you've ever lost your group on a road trip — and if you've ever driven with more than one car, you have — we built this for you.
