Optional safety subscription
Safety when you choose it.
Navigation stays free. If you want more, the optional safety subscription connects Guard Route to the services you already use, so one SOS reaches the right people with your exact location.
What the subscription adds
One SOS. The services you chose.
- Hands-free SOS. Say your SOS phrase, tap the red button, or use the shortcut on your lock screen. The button is always there as a fallback.
- Your services, linked. Link the armed-response, vehicle-tracking and ambulance services you already use, up to three. Your SOS goes to them.
- Your live location. Your position, route and vehicle details are shared with your linked services during an SOS, and your medical details if you choose to add them.
- Almost-home alert. Let your armed response know you are two minutes out at night, if your service supports it.
- Walking and running mode. Activity mode for hiking and running, linked to partner services.
Which features work depends on the services you link and what they support. Guard Route passes your alert to the service. The service decides whether and how to respond.
How an SOS works
Three steps. No hunting for numbers.
You trigger it
Say your SOS phrase hands-free, tap the red SOS button, or use the lock-screen shortcut.
Your linked services receive it
Your live location, route and vehicle details are sent to the services you linked. Updates continue while the SOS is active.
The service responds
Your service decides how to respond. Where it supports it, its response team can be guided to your live position.
What Guard Route is
A navigation app with an optional software connection to services you choose. It sends your alert and location to them.
What Guard Route is not
It 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 call emergency services directly.
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.
Add safety when you are ready.
The safety subscription is optional and billed through the App Store or Google Play.
