How it works
Navigation first. Safety when you choose it.
Guard Route keeps everyday driving simple and makes the optional service connection clear, deliberate and separate from route guidance.
The flow
Four clear steps, plus Family Guard.
You can use Guard Route for ordinary navigation without ever activating the optional safety layer.
Search a destination
Enter an address, place or map link, or tap a saved place such as Home or Work.
Follow the route
Turn-by-turn voice directions with live traffic. If your route passes a reported risk area you see a safer option and the time it costs.
Add safety or Family Guard if you want to
Link your tracking, armed-response and ambulance services with the R149/month full app, or just one provider for R45/month. For your family, add Family Guard for R39/month with the full app (R188/month in total) or R69/month on its own, then link up to five phones in Family Guard Portal.
Use SOS only when needed
When you send an SOS, Guard Route passes your location and details to your linked services. They remain responsible for their own response.
What Guard Route does
- Free everyday destination search and route guidance
- Live traffic and shared road reports
- Risk areas shown before you choose a route
- Optional connection to services you already use
- Clear status and permissions so you know what is active
What Guard Route does not do
Guard Route does not operate ambulances, armed-response vehicles or tracking control rooms. It does not replace your service, guarantee a response, or remove your responsibility to contact emergency services directly.
A map that learns
Gets better as more people drive with it.
Live traffic is learned from drivers on the road, and road reports are shared between drivers. Where tracking partners choose to share data, historical risk information for places can be built from it. Data is handled as described in the privacy policy.
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.
