CASE STUDY
A Real-Time Location Sharing & Social Map App
Bump lets friends see each other on a live personal map, chat, discover places and scratch off everywhere they have been, all with mutual opt-in privacy.
From Vision to a Connected Social Map
The Challenge
Make staying close to friends effortless: see where they are, chat and plan meetups on one live map, while keeping location sharing precise, battery friendly and fully private.
Our Solution
A mobile app that turns real-time location into a personal map of people and places, with built-in chat, automatic place detection and a scratch map. Sharing is mutual opt-in, so friends only appear after they accept.
Key Features of the App
Live Location Sharing
Precise, real-time and battery-friendly sharing. See friends' battery level, speed and how long they have been somewhere, plus what they are listening to.
Places & Personal Map
Automatically detects the places you go, lets you search and save new ones, and shows where your friends have been.
Rich Chat
Send text, stickers, images, videos and GIFs, and start conversations straight from the map.
Scratch Map
Builds a map of everywhere you have been with the phone in your pocket, and lets you compete with friends to uncover your local area.
Navigation & Live ETA
Get a route to friends or places, share your live ETA to their lockscreen, and buzz them when you are nearby.
Privacy Controls
Mutual opt-in sharing, ghost mode to take time off the map, encrypted data in transit and the option to request data deletion.
