The Friend Walk module allows users to send their location in real-time to a friend .  The friend can then monitor the location of the user in real-time until they reach so they can watch as the user walks to their destination. 

The friend does not require the safety app, they can monitor the user on any device with a web-browser and Internet access. They'll watch you and can trigger a call to emergency services if necessary.

Here's how it works:

  • Tap the button below and pick a contact to send your location.
  • Your friend will receive the message with a link. When they click it, they'll be taken to a map with your location and you'll be connected to them.
  • Pick your destination and start moving.
  • If you're in a panic, hit the button to notify your friend and start an emergency call.
  • If you or your friend disconnects, it will end the walk and give you the option to make an emergency call (just in case!).
  • When you reach your destination, finish your trip and disconnect.
