Challenge
Offroad Buddies wanted to bring off-road enthusiasts in Bulgaria together through a mobile app for route sharing, organizing group trips and real-time communication in the field.
Solution
We developed a React Native app with MapBox integration for GPS tracking, social features for sharing routes and photos, group chat and an event organization system.
Key features
Everything an off-road enthusiast needs: GPS, maps and community.
GPS route recording
Record every off-road adventure with high accuracy. Routes are saved with elevation data, speed and photos taken along the way.
Real-time tracking
See your friends on the map in real time during group outings. A WebSocket connection provides instant updates.
Offline maps
Download maps for offline use before your trip. No internet is needed in the mountains: MapBox provides full functionality.
Social features
Offroad Buddies is more than just a GPS tracker. It is a social network for the off-road community. Follow friends, compete in leaderboards and earn badges.
- Profiles with statistics and achievements
- Leaderboards by distance and elevation gain
- Challenges and badges
- Route sharing
- Group outings with invitations
- Catalog of recommended routes
MapBox + PostGIS integration
MapBox provides offline maps with terrain and satellite views. PostGIS on the backend processes geospatial queries: nearby routes, intersections and regional statistics. WebSocket connects everything in real time.

About the project
Offroad Buddies is a mobile app for the off-road community that allows users to record routes, share them with friends and track one another's locations in real time during group trips.
The key feature is real-time tracking during group trips: each participant sees the others' positions on the map, which is crucial on off-road terrain where GSM coverage is unreliable. The app pre-caches maps for offline use.
MapBox SDK provides detailed topographic maps with information about terrain, gradients and elevation. Users can mark points of interest such as water crossings, steep sections and camping spots.
Social features include profiles, followers, route sharing and leaderboards for achievements such as "longest route" and "highest point". This encourages engagement and regular use.
The backend is built with .NET, PostgreSQL and PostGIS for geospatial queries. Real-time tracking uses WebSocket for minimal latency.
