Everyday navigation

Free navigation

Search for a destination, plan a route and follow turn-by-turn voice directions with live traffic. Works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Availability of map, routing and device features depends on your device, permissions and network connection.

Optional

Safety subscription

Hands-free SOS to the armed-response, tracking and ambulance services you already use. The full Guard Route app is R149/month and includes SOS links to all three services: tracking, armed response and ambulance. Your service providers' own fees are separate. Billed through the App Store or Google Play.

Family Guard

Keep your family connected.

Family Guard is a private family map for up to five loved ones. It costs R39/month added to the R149 full app, making R188/month in total, or R69/month on its own. Create your account in Family Guard Portal, then link each loved one's phone with a one-time key.

Before you drive

Give the app the access it needs. Location, notifications, microphone and background activity can be required for the features you choose. Check your device settings. Never use the app while it distracts you from driving.

  • Location is needed for route position and navigation while a trip is active.
  • Notifications are needed for route and service status updates, if you allow them.
  • Microphone is needed only for voice search and the hands-free SOS phrase.
  • Service account is needed only if you choose to link a safety service.

Important

Guard Route is not an emergency service, ambulance service, armed-response company or tracking company. In an emergency call 112 from any cellphone or the SAPS on 10111. The optional safety features send your alert to the services you choose and cannot guarantee a response. Read the full safety disclaimer.
