The responder app.

Six capabilities purpose-built for emergency response — blue-light routing, driver alerts, trusted data, custom layers, real-time overlays, and multi-platform deployment. Each one tuned by responders for the realities of blue-light driving.

All capabilities

Blue Light Routing

Developed alongside emergency crews, our routing algorithms understand what helps first responders get to scene quicker.

Blue Light Alert®

We can pre-warn nearby drivers that a blue-light vehicle is approaching, so traffic reacts sooner and clears the path for emergency vehicles.

Trusted data

The geospatial data your control room trusts, on the responder's map.

Custom data layers

Overlay your own datasets on every responder's map. Converted from the formats you already hold, visible by role, available offline.

Learn more →

Shared overlays

Draw a cordon, RVP or search sector once and every crew sees it on the same map they navigate from, updated in real time and synced across every device.

Learn more →

Multi-platform

One experience across Android, iOS and Windows — with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and CAD integrations like Airbus ScGuide. Deploys onto the devices crews already carry.
