Share Your Campsite or Fishing Spot with Exact GPS

Tucked in the woods, on a remote shoreline, or at a spot only you know — Beacon Locator lets you share your exact coordinates as a simple link. No street address needed, and once the page loads, the compass works without a continuous data connection.

How it works

Three steps to find each other

Step 1

Drop your pin

Open Beacon Locator, confirm your location, add a photo and a short note so they know it's you.

Step 2

Share the link

Text it, WhatsApp it, put it in the group chat. Any app, any device — one tap and the link is sent.

Step 3

They navigate to you

They open the link and get a live compass arrow + walking map pointing straight to your spot. No app download needed.

Fishing & Camping

GPS sharing built for remote and off-grid spots

Campsites in large campgrounds can be a maze — especially when guests are arriving after dark. Share a Beacon link that points exactly to your fire pit or tent entrance, and latecomers walk straight in.

For fishing, it's even better: that secret cove, sandbar, or inlet that you've spent years finding is now shareable with exactly the people you choose. The Beacon link carries precise latitude and longitude — no satellite map app required on the recipient's side.

The Drive to Address feature in Beacon Locator gives driving directions to the nearest road point, then hands off to the compass for the final walk-in — useful when campsites are set back from the trailhead or boat launch.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I share a location that has no cell service?

The recipient needs to load the page while they still have service. After the page loads, the compass uses the device's GPS sensor and works offline. Recommend sharing the link before they leave the signal zone.

Is the GPS location kept private?

Your Beacon link is only shared with who you send it to. It's not posted publicly anywhere. Only people with the link can view your location.

Can I use it to share a boat launch or dock location?

Yes. Drop the pin at the exact launch point or dock and share the link. The compass guides people right to it.

Can I create a Beacon for a campfire meetup time after dark?

Yes. The Beacon page works at night and the compass stays active. Create the Beacon when you arrive and share the link — latecomers follow it in the dark.
