Check that you typed all 6 characters correctly — the code never uses 0, O, 1 or I, so mix-ups are unlikely. If it still does not work, the event may have been deleted; ask the organiser for a fresh code.
Yes. Enter the code on the welcome screen and you will see the drive straight away. You only need an account when you want to sign up.
That is the organiser's decision; contact them directly. DriveWaypoints does not interfere with participant lists.
No panic — the app never punishes you. It simply asks whether you want to check in at the missed milestone first. Do it while you are parked, and carry on.
Everything about the drive (milestones, addresses, times) can be read offline if you opened the event the day before. Checking in needs a connection — it goes through once you have signal again.
Very little. The position is sent at most every 5 minutes, and you can turn sharing off completely in your profile. Good advice for the day: a phone mount and a charger in the car — then both the map and the battery last all day.
No. You only need it at the milestones (check-in) — and your co-driver can watch the shared map along the way. No feature requires the driver to touch the phone while driving.
Only what the organiser chose for the event: either the organiser alone or the whole group. If you are "Anonymous on this drive", you appear as a neutral dot with no name or picture. Everything is deleted after 48 hours — read more.
Yes. Set the GPS setting to "Off" in your profile. Check-in still works — it is a tap on a button, not a GPS check.
Yes. Print the milestone overview with QR codes from the portal — then passengers who prefer paper can follow along, and the rest of the convoy uses the app.
Everyone signed up automatically gets a push message about the change (unless they have turned that type of notification off).
