About this app

Checkpoint is the expedition operations platform built for Duke of Edinburgh leaders, assessors and coordinators. Whether you're running a single group across the hills or managing a large-scale event with dozens of teams, Checkpoint gives you complete situational awareness — right from your phone.

Live GPS Tracking See every group's hardware tracker and every staff member's phone position updating in real time on an interactive map. Colour-coded freshness indicators show you instantly who's live, recently pinged or overdue. Movement trails, breadcrumb history, battery levels and satellite counts are all visible at a glance — no guesswork, no radio silence.

OS Maps & OpenStreetMap Switch between Ordnance Survey Outdoor maps and OpenStreetMap with a single tap. Load your planned expedition routes as GPX overlays and assign specific routes to individual groups so you always know exactly where each team should be and where they've been.

Group & Stage Progress Track every group's progress through expedition stages in real time. See who has completed each stage, who is in progress and who needs chasing — all from the home dashboard without opening the map.

Safety Logging & Incidents Create field logs, start check-in sessions and raise incidents directly from the map. Pre-expedition safety briefings, equipment checks and compass checks are built in. A full activity feed keeps the whole team informed and aligned throughout the day.

Share & Coordinate Send any map point or tracker location directly via WhatsApp with one tap. Copy coordinates, open in Google Maps or share with the wider team — designed for fast communication in the field.

Built for the Outdoors Map scale bar, compass with live device heading, measurement tool, distance calculator and a full tracker feed panel. Everything a leader needs, designed to work with gloves on in all conditions.
