Very nice! Does the sharing feature allow live location sharing? That seems like it would help a lot, especially when group members are in separate vehicles.

No, and while that does sound like a pretty obvious feature I should clarify the app is about planning, not turn-by-turn directions. You can open Plot Along routes in Google Maps, Apple Maps, multiple GPS formats and more

The idea is everyone opens the same route for coordinating and there’s just one source of truth for the group. And then when you’re all about to hit the road, everyone can use the nav app they’re already familiar with (or that’s built into their vehicle)

I will tackle the navigation aspect at some point if I do keep up on feature dev, though!
