Location Mate - Share & Track

Location sharing with consent

Location Mate - Share & Track is a Maps & Navigation app for families, friends, and small groups that need to coordinate their movements. It supports mutual location sharing rather than one-sided tracking, so people choose whether to connect and share their position.

How connections work

The app uses code-based connections to link users. A person can create or provide a code, allowing another user to join the location-sharing connection. This approach is suited to situations where access should be deliberate instead of open-ended.

Useful map tools

• Shared locations: View connected users on a map for easier meetups and travel coordination.
• Alert zones: Set geographic areas that can notify you when a connected person enters or leaves.
• Distance measurement: Check the distance between points on the map when planning journeys or estimating how far away someone is.

Who it suits

Location Mate is a practical fit for people arranging pickups, checking when someone has reached an area, or keeping track of a group during a trip. Its consent-based setup makes it more appropriate for trusted contacts than for broad public sharing. It does not present itself as a full social platform, so users looking for messaging or extensive location history may need other tools alongside it.

The app is published by IMPACTSOLTER and has a 4.19 rating from 2,537 ratings, with 1,000,000+ installs. Those figures show continued use while giving prospective users a clear sense of its current reach.
