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.

College Campuses

Why GPS sharing beats texting your location on campus

"I'm at the library" means nothing when there are three entrances and four floors. A Beacon link pins your exact GPS coordinates and gives the recipient a real-time compass arrow and step-by-step walking directions — right to the spot where you're sitting.

Campus meetups are especially tricky for new students who don't know building names, or for visitors and parents attending orientation. Share a Beacon and skip the confusion entirely.

Beacon Locator also works for study groups, tutoring sessions, and club meetups in outdoor spaces like quads, amphitheaters, or sports fields — anywhere a room number won't help.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use it to share the entrance of a specific building?

Yes. Stand at the entrance, create a Beacon, and share the link. Your friend's compass will point directly to that spot.

Does it work on large multi-building campuses?

Yes. As long as your device has GPS signal outdoors, the Beacon will be accurate. Indoor accuracy can vary depending on the device.

Can my parents use it to find me at graduation?

Absolutely. They open the link on any smartphone browser, no account needed, and a compass and map guide them straight to your seat or meeting point.

Is there a Pro version for repeated use?

Yes. Pro Beacon lets you add your name, photo, and a custom driving destination — great if you want a persistent, branded share for meetups.
