About this app
Free to download. Share your location with family and friends, and plan trips and tours together. Orbit1 shares your location with the people in your circle, who can see where you are even when the app is closed or not in use.
Nobody appears on a map until they say yes on their own phone, and their phone always shows when they are sharing. You choose how precisely each person sees you: Exactly, Roughly, Town or Nothing. Sharing doesn't have to go both ways. Stop sharing is one tap.
Family and friends
• A live map of your circle. Every face shows when they were last seen.
• Where now? asks someone's phone for their location right now.
• Their day replays where someone has been, if they chose to show you exactly.
• Alerts when someone arrives at or leaves a place, isn't there by a set time, or stays in one place too long. The person is always told about your alert and can stop it.
• SOS: hold the button and, unless you cancel in the countdown, your circle is told. Up to three people you pick also get an email with a link to where you are, until you tap I’m safe.
• Safety alert: pick a time or a place. If you haven't said you're OK or arrived by then, the people who see you are told.
• Crash check: if your phone feels a hard impact while you drive and you don't answer, your circle is told.
• Your driving report, with hard stops and times over the speed limit, sent only to people you choose.
• Cars & cover: MOT and tax dates and your breakdown cover in one place, which you can share with family.
• Medical info: allergies, conditions, medicines and blood type. Show doctor puts the headings and picked items in the doctor's language, but words you type are not translated. Only people you pick can see it.
• A home screen widget for your circle or a trip.
Trips and tours
• Plan a trip day by day: stops with times and notes, on the map.
• Add the journey between stops by car, train, coach, boat, bike or on foot. Add your own flight and see it on the map while it's in the air.
• Things to bring, for everyone or for one person.
• Costs: add who paid for what, scan a receipt to fill in the items, and everyone taps what they had. No money moves through Orbit1.
• Trip fun: jobs, secret missions and buddies for stag and hen dos and away days.
• Invite with a link and let each person in.
• Plan up to a year ahead. Nobody's location is shared on a trip until the day it starts.
• Tour companies can put their logo, colours, contacts and a group chat link on a trip.
• Save a trip as a tour, add departures and guides on orbit1.uk, or import a season from a spreadsheet.
Your privacy
• Who looked at you shows who opened your card or timeline, or asked where you are now.
• Location history is deleted after 90 days.
• No ads, and your location is never sold.
• You can export your data or delete your account in the app at any time.
Orbit1 uses your location
Orbit1 shares your location with the people in your circle, who can see where you are even when the app is closed or not in use.
While you share:
• Your position on their map
• Your timeline, which they can look back over
• Alerts when you arrive at or leave a shared place, are not there by a set time, or stay in one place too long
• An answer when someone asks where you are now
Only if you turn them on:
• Crash check: if your phone feels a hard impact and you don't answer, they are told
• Note when I'm over the speed limit
• Your driving report, sent to the people you choose
• Safety alert: if you don't say you're OK or arrive in time, they are told
• SOS: the contacts you choose are sent a link to where you are
It stops when you tap Stop sharing.
Orbit1 is for adults aged 18 and over.
A position can be late or missing when a phone is off, out of signal or out of battery.
In the UK the map uses Orbit1's own map files. Elsewhere Google Maps draws the streets underneath, and sees the area on screen, never anyone's position, name or places.
