About this app

Paathik puts everyone on your trip on one live map.

Families on a long drive. Friends in a convoy. Trekking groups, pilgrimages, school trips and organised runs. Share one code, and everyone who joins appears on the same map, moving in real time — so nobody has to ask "where are you?" again.

ONE MAP, EVERYONE ON IT
Positions stream in continuously and update as people move. See who is ahead, who is behind and who has stopped, without a round of messages.

JOIN WITH A CODE
Groups work like a meeting code. Share it, people request to join, an admin approves or declines. There is no friend list to build and no phone numbers to exchange.

PLAN AND NAVIGATE
Set an origin, a destination and the stops in between, then follow turn-by-turn directions. Paathik re-routes when you genuinely leave the road, instead of nagging you back onto it every time you pull over.

BUZZ POINTS
Drop markers along the route. You are told the moment you reach one, and the trip timeline records who reached which point and when, for the whole group to see.

EVENTS ON A FIXED COURSE
Import a GPX file or draw the trail by hand. The course stays exactly as you set it and is never re-routed, with laps counted automatically and each participant's progress measured along the course itself. Built for organised runs, rides and treks, where the route is the point.

READ-ONLY LINKS FOR THE PEOPLE AT HOME
Send a link to a parent, a guardian or a school. They follow the trip in an ordinary browser — no account, no install — and the link stops working once the trip is over.

OFFLINE MAPS
Download the map around your route before you set off. The map keeps working where the signal does not.

TAKE THE ROUTE WITH YOU
Export any route as a GPX file and load it onto a Garmin, COROS or Suunto watch.

TRIP HISTORY
Scheduled, ongoing, completed. See the distance you actually covered against the distance you planned, and the route you really took.

BUILT ON OPEN MAPS
OpenStreetMap data rendered with MapLibre on our own servers — no third-party maps provider watching your journeys.

YOUR LOCATION, ON YOUR TERMS
Location sharing is tied to a trip. It begins when a trip you joined is started and stops when that trip ends. It is not a beacon that runs for as long as the app is installed. Background location is used only while a trip is active, so the map keeps updating with your phone in your pocket — and you can leave a group, or delete your account and everything recorded with it, from inside the app at any time.

Paathik accounts are for people aged 16 and over.

What’s new

What's new
• Fixed the keyboard covering text fields on Android. What you type now stays visible above the keyboard.
• Location is now optional. Browse trips, join by code and follow your group without sharing your own location; turn it on whenever you're ready.
• Simpler sign-up: just confirm you're 16 or older, no date of birth needed.
