About Guard Route
Built from real telematics experience.
Guard Route is built for South Africans who want everyday navigation and a practical safety connection in one clear app.

Five years in telematics, now focused on a South African navigation app.
After five years working in telematics, I wanted to build something that felt useful in the moments people actually spend in their cars: finding an address, following a route, understanding the road ahead and having the right safety connection available when it matters.
Guard Route is my answer to the gap between everyday navigation and the safety services people already pay for. It is designed around South African roads, South African users and the local service relationships that already exist.
The aim is simple: one app for everyday driving, with an optional layer that connects to the service you choose. Guard Route does not take over or provide tracking, ambulance or armed-security operations. Those services remain with the companies that deliver them.
Your security company, one tap away
Guard Route sends your SOS and live location to the armed-response, tracking or ambulance service you already pay for.
Navigate free, add safety when you want
Turn-by-turn navigation costs nothing. Add your safety services any time from R45/month.
Working with partners
Tracking, armed-security and medical-aid companies can offer Guard Route to their customers. If you are a business and would like to talk, email [email protected].
