All Features & Capabilities
Every screen, algorithm, and offline protocol built into ConvoyGo. Transparent, complete, and engineered for India's high-altitude convoys and trails.
Group rides and treks
Lead, invite, and navigate seamlessly as a group across road trips and mountain trails.
Start a ride or trek
Name your journey, set From and To, pick rider limit and Sweep Guard gap, and attach a planned route.

- •Set From and To locations, define max rider limits, and configure your Sweep Guard distance threshold.
- •Optionally attach a planned route corridor. You automatically become the trip leader.
Instant group invite
Invite friends via 6-character code (like AB3 CD4), QR code, or shareable web link (/join/CODE).
- •6-character code displayed with clear spacing (e.g., AB3 CD4) for easy reading over intercoms.
- •High-contrast QR code for instant scanning at the meetup point.
