About Ping Hub
Ping Hub is a free web service that lets you share your real-time location with friends, family, and colleagues with just a single link—no account or app installation required.
Why We Built It
When meeting friends at a location or tracking companions on hikes, trips, or events, most apps demand sign-ups and friend requests. Ping Hub cuts through that friction. Create a group, send the link, and anyone who receives it joins instantly with just a nickname—everyone sees the same map.
How It Works
When you create a group, a shareable link is generated that remains valid for 24 hours. Location is recorded on the server only when a participant taps the "Update My Location" button—that moment's position. Other participants refresh the map periodically to see where everyone is. Because there's no auto-tracking, only manual location snapshots are shared, minimizing battery drain and privacy exposure.
Technology
The map is powered by OpenStreetMap and Leaflet. Location data is processed on the Cloudflare global network. Groups are automatically deleted 24 hours after creation, along with all location and participation records.
