Create the cruise
Set the meeting point, prepare the drive and invite your crew. The convoy can be public or private depending on who you want on the road.
The app for car cruises with your crew
Plan the cruise. Invite your crew. See every car live on the map and stay connected while you drive.
STRADA1 is a Swiss-built car cruise app for enthusiasts who want to drive together without turning the day into a chain of missed exits, phone calls and scattered location links. Create the drive, bring everyone into the same convoy and keep the crew together from the meeting point to the final stop.
Free to download. Available on iPhone and Android.
A car cruise should stay together after the first red light
Meeting in a parking lot is the easy part. The difficult part begins once ten cars leave at the same time. Traffic splits the group, someone misses a turn, another car stops for gas and the front has no idea where the last car went.
STRADA1 turns the group into a live convoy instead of relying on “just follow the car in front.”
See the crew live
Once the convoy is active, participants stay visible on the map. If the pack separates, you can see where the rest of the group is instead of starting a chain of “where are you?” messages.
Talk with the group
Strada1 Voice Technology is the walkie-talkie built into the app. It gives the convoy a shared communication channel without requiring a separate CB radio.
Plan the stops
Coffee, viewpoint, gas stop or final destination: a cruise is more than one destination. Keep the important stops around the same drive instead of spreading the plan across different chats and screenshots.
How to organize a car cruise with STRADA1
01
Create your convoy
Choose the drive, meeting point and time. Make it private for your crew or public when you want other enthusiasts to discover it.
02
Invite the cars
Bring the participants into the same convoy before leaving. Everyone starts with the same context instead of receiving a different link five minutes before departure.
03
Start the cruise
When the group moves, STRADA1 keeps the convoy visible on the map. The app is not meant to replace your normal turn-by-turn navigation; it is the layer that keeps the group connected.
04
Stay together
If traffic stretches the pack or somebody stops, the group can see what happened and regroup around the planned stops.
Car cruise app vs. group chat
WhatsApp, Messenger and regular location sharing are useful tools, but they were not designed around a moving group of cars.
STRADA1 is built around the convoy itself: participants, meeting point, route, stops, live group visibility and communication belong to the same experience.
That difference matters once the parking lot disappears in the mirror.
Built for more than one Sunday drive
A cruise can start with a few friends and grow into a recurring group drive or a full car club outing. STRADA1 also connects the road with the wider automotive community through public drives and automotive events available around the map.
Use the same app to meet, drive, regroup and discover what is happening next.
FAQ
- What is a car cruise app?
- A car cruise app helps a group of cars organize and stay connected during a drive. STRADA1 combines convoy creation, live group visibility, planned stops and an integrated walkie-talkie in one mobile app.
- How do you keep a group of cars together during a cruise?
- Create one convoy before departure, agree on meeting and regroup points, and keep the participants visible during the drive. STRADA1 lets convoy members see the group live on the map so a separated car does not simply disappear from the cruise.
- Can I see my whole driving crew on one map?
- Yes. During an active STRADA1 convoy, participants can see the group on the live map. It is designed specifically for groups moving together rather than for sharing isolated location links.
- Does STRADA1 replace Google Maps or my navigation app?
- No. STRADA1 is not intended to replace turn-by-turn navigation. It complements navigation by managing the group: convoy participants, live visibility, communication, stops and the shared driving experience.
- Can I use STRADA1 for a private car cruise?
- Yes. Convoys can be private when you only want invited participants, or public when you want to open the drive to other enthusiasts.
- Does STRADA1 work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. STRADA1 is available on both iPhone and Android, so a mixed group does not need to use the same phone platform.
Your next cruise starts before the engines do.
