⚡ Intisari Penting untuk Road Captain & Peserta
- ✓Maintain strict rig order (#01 Trail Boss to #Last Tail Gunner) across dusty trails, switchbacks, and highway transit stages.
- ✓Pair GMRS/CB/VHF two-way radios for short-range spotting with Konvoi’s live dashboard radar when ridge lines block radio line-of-sight.
- ✓Trigger 1-tap SOS recovery alerts with exact latitude/longitude coordinates when a rig gets bogged down, loses a bead, or needs winch assistance.
- ✓Export complete expedition GPX tracks (.gpx) in one tap for Gaia GPS, onX Offroad, Garmin Tread, or Overlander archives.
Why GMRS and CB Radios Need a Visual Convoy Radar Companion
On multi-rig 4x4 overland expeditions—whether traversing Utah backcountry trails, Alpine passes, Australian outback tracks, or Indonesian trans-island routes—dust clouds and technical obstacles force rigs to spread out. While GMRS, UHF CB, and VHF ham radios are indispensable for immediate obstacle spotting, simplex radio waves are easily blocked by canyon walls, dense forest canopy, and steep ridge lines.
When a mid-pack rig stops to air down tires or inspect a suspension clunk, the Trail Boss two miles ahead often cannot hear their 5-watt handheld radio call. Running Konvoi on a dash-mounted phone or iPad gives every driver and co-driver a bird’s-eye telemetry view of all rig hull numbers, real-time speed, and total convoy spread.
- •Numbered Rig Manifest (#01 Lead Rig, Mid-Pack Relays, #Last Tail Gunner / Recovery Rig) visible on every cabin screen.
- •Automatic Lead Failover if Rig #01 takes a scouting detour or temporarily loses data coverage.
- •Multi-Device Cabin Pairing: Link your dash tablet and your co-driver’s smartphone to the same vehicle slot.
1-Tap Winch & Recovery SOS Beacons + Standardized GPX Track Export
When a heavy overland rig buries an axle in mud, slices a sidewall on sharp shale, or experiences overheating on a long grade, verbal radio descriptions like "we are two turns past the dry creek bed" waste valuable recovery time.
With Konvoi’s 1-tap SOS Emergency Beacon, the immobilized vehicle broadcasts an audible siren and drops a high-precision GPS recovery pin on the Trail Boss and Tail Sweeper screens. Once the expedition finishes, any participant can download the full `.gpx` file from the Konvoi sidebar to import directly into Gaia GPS, onX Offroad, Garmin Overlander, or Komoot.
- •Instant audio + visual SOS alert across all connected rigs in the convoy.
- •Standard GPX 1.1 export containing start/finish waypoints, member coordinates, and route breadcrumbs.
- •Printable A4 Overland Rig Manifest & Radio Frequency Sheet available free at /partners?preset=overland_mobil.
