Digital tools so you don't lose sight of your friends during the festivities.
WhatsApp: Real-Time Location Sharing
The world's most popular messaging app offers convenient functionality for keeping track of where your friends are. When opening an individual or group conversation, click the paper clip (Android) or the “+” icon (iOS), select “Location” and choose “Share live location”. Choose the sharing duration and that's it! The location will be updated in real time for chat participants.
Google Maps: Find Yourself on the Map
Google Maps lets you share your location with friends, making it easier to meet up at the party. Open the side menu, tap “Share location” and select who you want to share with and for how long. Your friends will see your position in real time on the map and can even trace routes to you.
Facebook Messenger: Instant Location
In addition to conversations, Messenger allows you to send your current location to a friend or group. Open a conversation, tap the location icon (you may need to enable location access through the app), and send. The location is instant, ideal for quick meeting points.
Apple: Find My
Apple device users can rely on “Find My” to locate friends and family. Everyone must agree to share their locations through the app. Once configured, it is possible to see the real-time location of participants, facilitating reunion.
What3Words: Location Accuracy
What3Words revolutionized the way we share locations, dividing the world into 3m x 3m squares, each with a unique combination of three words. It is ideal for places without a clear address, such as a specific point on a large block. Share the three words referring to your location and your friends will be able to find you with pinpoint accuracy.
Additional Tips for Carnival:
- Arrange meeting points: In addition to technology, establish physical meeting points in case the battery runs out or the internet signal fails.
- External batteries: Carrying an external battery (power bank) can be a lifesaver to keep your cell phone running all day long.
- Stay safe: Amidst the fun, don't forget to maintain basic safety precautions, such as not displaying valuables and always being aware of your surroundings.
With these tools and tips, we hope your Carnival will be full of joy, without the stress of losing friends. Enjoy the party safely and connected to your friends!
