MOB Armor A tracking and navigation app for desert rallies and other off-road races.

Industry: Transportation & Logistics

A tracking and navigation app used with the internal GPS of devices.

Challenge

The owner of Mob Armor aimed to introduce an app that would specifically assist drivers in desert rallies and other off-road races. Apps like Google Maps provide tracking and navigation facilities to a significant but still a limited degree. The options for personalization are also limited. Besides, drivers in off-road rallies are often marred with absence of internet coverage.

Solution

Users can make a trail of their own and track the path they take. The app provides the ability to track performance under a range of parameters. For instance, drivers can note the time taken to traverse between two points. Moreover, the app also recommends routes and alarms about potential challenges on each suggested route.

Mob Armor allows import and export of .GPX files so that users can share tracking info and routes with teammates and friends. The app can also be connected to SkyPro XGPS160 GPS Receiver.

Impact

Mob Armor proves that driving skills and quality of vehicles are not the only factors that decide the results of off-road races. The availability of appropriate tracking devices and apps like Mob Armor at one’s disposal can impact significantly on the outcomes.
