Tech Details

Bluetooth 5.0 with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

Reliable low energy and high data throughput connection with your phone and the Companion App. 

3-Axis Accelerometer and Magnetometer 

3-axis accelerometer and magnetometer  provide precise motion sensing and directional orientation. These sensors enable real-time heading and movement tracking while minimizing power draw.

High Precision GPS tracking

2.5 meters CEP (Circular Error Probable) precision

Ultra Fast Position Fixes and Hot Start Capability

Crowd Compass has a backup gps battery that enables fast position fixes for subsequent uses. 

  • Hot Start: 1 second time to first fix (TTFF) 
  • Warm start: 4 second TTFF
  • Cold start: 30 seconds TTFF

Full Spectrum LED Display

123 LEDs are used to create 5 different distance rings. A 5x15 LED matrix displays scrolling text and animations in any color of the rainbow. 

LoRa® Transceiver

Enables long-range, low-power communication, providing reliable connectivity over long distances. With industry-leading sensitivity (-137 dBm) and advanced features like spread spectrum modulation and AES-128 encryption, it ensures robust performance even in crowded or remote environments and is inherently resistant to electro magnetic interference. The range record for LoRa® is 517 miles!

x7 Zoom Levels

7 different zoom levels from 100 feet to 3 miles and beyond ensure that you can find people nearby as well as know where everyone is - and everything in between. 

Range Finder Display

The distance (in feet) of the outer ring is displayed when changing the zoom so you know exactly how far each person is.   

x5 Linearly-Scaled Distance Rings

5 Distance rings let you know at a glance the relative distance of each friend. Each ring is linearly scaled to help you determine the precise distance of each friend.

3 Mile Compass-to-Compass Range

Each Compass is capable of 3 mile range to other Compasses under ideal conditions: no terrain or obstacles, standard temperature and pressure, equal polarization and orientation of antennas, and other factors. This range is greatly expanded with the mesh network. 

LoRa® Protocol

The cutting-edge LoRa®  protocol is the industry standard for long range low power applications in areas with limited or no cell service. It’s chirp spread-spectrum modulation makes it more resistant to interference than other protocols.  

915 MHZ Frequency

Crowd Compass uses a 915 MHz radio frequency. This frequency and protocol were chosen to ensure long range and to penetrate dense crowds. 915MHZ works 12x better in crowds than 2.4GHZ since it is 12x less attenuated by water (and people are water). Source.

Internet Redundancy via CloudCompass Servers

Your encrypted messages are also sent through the internet via the mobile app for redundancy, and real-time position updates. This encrypted information is sent to our CloudCompass servers where it is relayed out to your friends also connected to the mobile app. 

Over The Air Firmware Updates via App

Easily update compass with OTA firmware updates on the app to get new features and increase performance. 

Mesh Network

All Crowd Compasses are networked together in a mesh topology. This means that each compass relays the encrypted locations and messages of other Compasses - regardless of if they are in your group or not. Don’t worry, only your friends can see your messages and contents due to the encryption. This means range is extended beyond the 3-mile point-to-point range

x8 Configurable Messages

Customize and save up to 8 messages to be sent directly from your Crowd Compass - no phone required. 

Direct Message and Group Message Functionality

Send direct messages or messages to your entire group. 

Personalization

Change your color, your name, and your pre-set messages. 

Completely Standalone (no phone required)

While the Crowd Compass Companion App improves the experience and performance, you can still send and receive messages and find your friends without a phone. 

Near Realtime Position Updates

Location is updated every 2 minutes over the mesh radio network and every 2 seconds via CompassCloud when LTE performance boost is enabled in the mobile app.

Absolute life changer!

Crowd Compass is an absolute life changer. I am heading to EDC Mexico with my bestfriend, and i've never attended an out of the country fest so I'm really thrilled that we can keep track of one another with them. They absolutely helped break the barrier of lack of service at EDCO allowing me to ensure my fam was coming to our meetups. And I am excited that these will be my main form of communication at my camping fests up in the mountaints like Big Dub!! Also for bonus points, CC community has been absolutely wonderful and all PLURR! The team is super attentive to all questions, concerns, and feedback, and I've made tons of connections in the EDM community as well because of it!

Crowd Compass Review – A Must-Have for Music Festivals!

If you’ve ever struggled to find your friends at a packed music festival, the Crowd Compass is the perfect solution. This innovative device allows you to track and reunite with your group without relying on cell service or smartphones—a game-changer for large outdoor events. I’ve personally used the Crowd Compass at festivals like Apocalypse Zombieland and Escape at NOS Center, and it performed flawlessly. The tracking is reliable, and I love that it runs on batteries instead of requiring USB charging, making it ideal for multi-day events when charging isn’t always an option. One minor issue I encountered in earlier versions was teaching people how to zoom out on the map, as some users initially thought they couldn't locate friends at longer distances. Thankfully, this has been fixed in the latest update! A key thing to note is that Crowd Compass is best suited for outdoor festivals. Since it relies on gathering location data, it doesn’t work as well for indoor concerts where signal reception may be limited. Overall, I highly recommend the Crowd Compass for anyone attending large festivals where groups tend to split up. It eliminates the stress of finding friends in massive crowds and ensures a seamless experience.

Crowd Compass Review

I recently used the Crowd Compass on a camping trip, and I have to say, it was a game-changer. I tend to walk slower than my friends, so it was great to be able to let them go on ahead without worrying about me getting lost. Funnily enough, there was a moment where I had to pick between going left or right on the trail and since my compass showed my friends were towards the right, I headed to the right. Lo and behold, it was correct! In my experience, the compass itself has been incredibly reliable and accurate, and I love that it can be connected to my phone via an app to unlock more cool features (like texting without need of cell service). I also didn't expect the battery to last as long as it did – it lasted me the entire weekend! And I have to say, the "party mode" feature is pretty cool for whenever I just want to chill and vibe with it on. I can't wait to use it at music festivals this year – it's going to be perfect for finding my friends in a crowd. Overall, I'm really impressed with this device and have already recommended it to my friends - specially the ravers in my group!

Changed my festival experience!

Crowd compass has changed my festival experience! Tested in several crowded places never have I had a problem finding my crew. Local shows only but even getting back to my crew at the rail was nothing! Looking forward to taking these to Tomorrowland 2025!!! Not a single regret about my purchase and the support from the staff handling emails to the CEO himself has been above and beyond any service I have gotten. PLUR

Great for kids

My brother brought these to play "hide-and-seek" with my kids and they LOVED it. Great way to get them outside and moving, just order a few for our family.
