Let them follow the road, live.
Share where the van is in real time. The people back home watch your progress right in their browser — no app for them to install — and the road draws on the map as you go. You broadcast from the Android app.
Free on Android. 500,000+ installs on Google Play.
Why vanlifers use it
Made for the road.
Everything you want when you're living on the road — and nothing the people back home need to install to follow along.
No app for them
Send one link. The people back home follow the van's live position in any browser — no app, no sign-up. Reassurance while you're off the grid.
Roll together
Convoying with other vans? Add them once and see each other on the map — easy to regroup at the next stop or campsite.
The whole road
The road draws as you go — followers see more than a dot. Stretches without signal fill in once you're back in range; keep the complete journey to replay afterwards with Track Loading.
How it works
On the map before you pull out of the driveway.
No setup marathon. Install, start, share — then drive.
Grab the app
Install Real-Time GPS Tracker 2 from Google Play. It's free.
Press start
Pick a name and tap start. You show up on the map right away.
Send the link
Share one link with people back home or your convoy. They watch the van move live, with the road drawing behind you.
Good to know
Vanlife questions, answered.
Do the people following the van need an app?
No. They open your link in any browser — phone or computer. Only you need the Android app to broadcast the van's location.
Can they see the whole journey?
As you go, followers see the van's live position and the road drawing behind you. Where there's no signal, the app keeps your positions and sends them once you're back in range, so the gap fills in. To keep and replay the whole journey afterwards — start to finish — add Track Loading (Premium). Live sharing is free.
Can we travel as a convoy?
Yes. Add the other vans once and you'll see each other on the map whenever sharing is on.
Can I put the live map on my vanlife blog?
Yes — that's the Website Framing Premium add-on: embed the live van map right in a blog post so readers watch the trip unfold on your own site. The plain shareable link is always free, and so is core live sharing.
