Product walkthrough

See how SpotAware works in the app.

Watch the real product flow: searching for a destination, checking pins in that area, and viewing location-specific updates before heading out. If you see a pin showing an ATM is not working, you can skip that stop, head to another nearby ATM instead, and avoid wasting time on a trip that would have gone nowhere. The same kind of quick heads-up can help you avoid closures, outages, blocked access, and other frustrating surprises.

01

Search where you're going

Type an address, city, or landmark into the top search bar and SpotAware moves the map to that location.

02

Check pins in that area

See whether people have already dropped pins there so you know what is happening before you get there, from a broken ATM to a temporary closure or another issue worth avoiding.

03

Tap into updates

Open a pin to view the exact place, the message, and how long it lasts.

Map-first updates

See what people are sharing around you.

01

Drop a Pin

The small blue dot shows your current location, and the larger blue circle marks your 1000 meter posting radius. You can drop a pin anywhere inside that area to share what is happening.

02

View Local Updates

Browse pins on the map to see real-time information from people nearby, or explore pins dropped by other users anywhere in the world.

03

Search Your Destination

Use the “Where are you going?” search box to enter an address, city, or landmark. The map moves there and shows a red marker for the destination so you can check that area before you go.
