Your club.
Every drive.

Badia runs your off-road club, from the drive post to the last car home. Sign-ups, convoys by level, and a map built for the sand.

01 · RECORD

Every drive, on the map.

One tap and Badia records the line you drive — through the dunes, with the screen off, even if the app gets closed. Speed, heading and GPS at a glance, on satellite maps that work offline.

  • The real stats: driving time, every stop, climb, top speed
  • Replay the drive, coloured by speed
  • Built to save battery on a long day out

02 · PLAN

Paste the plan. Drive it.

The rally sheet, the checkpoints, the WhatsApp message with the waypoints — paste it as it is. Badia reads any format, numbers the points and takes you to each one in turn: how far, which way, what's next.

  • Decimal, degrees-minutes or DMS, names and all
  • Or import a GPX from Garmin, Gaia, the organiser
  • Arrival times logged for every point

03 · DRIVES YOU'RE SENT

Vijay drove it. Now you can.

A real drive: Vijay's Friday in the Al Qua'a dunes. He sent it from his phone; it landed in mine with his name on it. 70.8 km, 1 h 42 driving, seven stops, 1,643 m of climbing — and a Follow this drive button to take the same line.

  • Send to anyone in your club or crew, or as a GPX file
  • GPX from WhatsApp opens straight into Badia
  • Shared drives show on your map as a reference line

04 · SHARE IT

The drive, made for Instagram.

Turn any drive into a picture or an eight-second video: the line draws itself over the sand and the numbers count up. Story or post, ready for WhatsApp, Instagram or the club group. This one is Vijay's.

  • Picture or video, story or square
  • Made on the phone in seconds, no upload
05 · FOLLOW ME · NEW

Let them watch you drive.

Heading out alone, or back late? Tap Follow me and send the link. They open it in any browser and see you move on the map — your speed, your battery, the trail behind you. Tap stop and the link goes blank.

  • 2 hours to all day, you pick
  • No app or account needed to watch
  • Keeps going with the screen locked
What they see: Shammy is driving, 79 km/h, on a satellite map in the browser

06 · CREWS · NEW

Your friends are a crew.

No club? Start a crew in ten seconds and drop the link in your group chat. Everyone who taps it is in. Plan drives, see each other on the convoy map, and if anyone sends an SOS, the whole crew gets it.

  • Invite-only, up to 50 people
  • Anyone can plan a drive — no levels, no ranks
  • Free, like everything in Badia

Convoys formed by level, each with a lead and sweep
07 · CONVOYS

Convoys that form themselves.

On the day, one tap splits the drive into convoys by level. Pick a lead and a sweep for each. Every driver knows who's ahead, who's behind and who's with them before they leave the meet point.

  • Up to 6, 8, 10 or 12 cars a convoy, or one big one
  • Check-in at the meet, live count of who's still on the way
  • After the drive, mark who showed. No-shows don't hide.
Where to? — paste a Google Maps link or coordinates
08 · WHERE TO?

Paste the pin. Go.

Someone dropped a Google Maps link in the group? Paste it. Coordinates, plus codes, Apple Maps, WhatsApp locations — Badia reads them all and points a straight line to it. No roads out there, so no turn-by-turn.

Your next drive, your level and club news
09 · THE CLUB

Everything the WhatsApp group can't do.

Drives with a meet point, a time, a level and a seat count. Join in one tap. Full? You're on the waitlist and told the moment a seat opens. Reminders the evening before and in time to head out, even with no signal.

  • Levels signed off by marshals, not self-declared
  • Announcements that don't get buried
  • Can't make it? Pull out so the next person gets your seat

“Thirty years off-road. Badia is the app I wanted on every one of those drives.”
