See your whole group on one live map
Radar is the live group map built into SweepTrack Pro: it's the RADAR button, one of the four controls on the home map. One person starts a group, everyone else joins with a code or QR, and you watch each other move in real time. No account to set up.
SweepTrack Radar, a free standalone app, is on the way, so friends can join the same group without the full app. Already on Pro? Radar Premium comes free.
Free to join, Pro to host. Live in SweepTrack Pro on Google Play. Android only.
Watch a group move, ping, and call for help
Also on the map: 11 member icons, everyone's battery level, breadcrumb trails, GPS accuracy rings, private saved spots, and a ghost mode that pauses sharing.
Your friends don't need Pro to show up
Radar lives in both apps, and they share one map. The host can be on Pro. Everyone else joins free with the Radar app. Same group, same map.
SweepTrack Radar
FreeFree and light. Install it, type a code, and you're on the group map with every safety and teamwork tool. Radar Premium adds hosting and a few extras.
Radar, built into SweepTrack Pro

Up and running in under a minute
Start a group
A Pro or Radar Premium host taps RADAR, starts a group, and gets an 8-character code, QR, and share link.
Share the code
Send the code or QR to your detecting buddies. They join free from SweepTrack Pro, or from the Radar app once it's out. No account needed.
Everyone's on the map
Each phone shows up as a colored dot with a name and heading arrow, updating every 30 seconds or so.
What it does on a dig
Safety first, always free
SOS alerts the whole group with your location, updating every 5 seconds in an emergency. Works even on a free account.
Find your way back
Set a shared base where the car is, Retrace your own route home, and follow a compass guide arrow to anyone.
Work the site together
Drop shared waypoints, fire off quick pings (Look here, Regroup, Need a hand), and keep everyone on the same page.
Beat the sunset
A daylight chip counts down to sunset and tells you when to head back, based on how far you are from base.

Joining a group and every safety tool are free for good. Premium is for the people who host.

Who can see your location
No account, ever
Radar signs in anonymously. No name, email, phone number, or Google account. There's nothing to log into.
Visible only to your group
Live positions are only visible to people who joined with your code. Nothing is public, and guessing a code won't quietly scrape locations.
Built to expire
Groups expire on their own, usually within about 12 hours, and your entry is deleted the moment you leave. If a group is abandoned without anyone leaving, the last shared positions stay in that expired group until it's deleted. Full details are in the privacy policy.
While-in-use GPS only
Radar shares your location only while you're in a group with the app open. No background tracking.
