Six simple gestures, designed for life on the road and spontaneous encounters.
Spot the travelers around you and follow your friends, anywhere in the world. Others only see an approximate area: only your friends know exactly where you are. And ghost mode makes you invisible whenever you need a break.
In the mood for a drink? Let nearby travelers know, or only your friends, and create a simple, local and spontaneous moment in seconds.
Breakdown, dead battery, medical issue, lost: pick the urgency level and send a call to the travelers around you.
Private messages and groups, voice notes, photos and videos. Every apero or call for help opens its own conversation, with an album to keep the evening's photos. Not the same language? Just tap “Translate”.
A room for each country for local tips, and themed rooms: spots and bivouacs, DIY and breakdowns, cooking on board, remote work, pets, family… Your topic is missing? Create your own room.
Bubble level, sun and shade at your spot, departure checklist, fuel tracking, border crossing: everyday essentials for the road, in a single tab.
COBA is designed for travelers who want to keep their freedom without losing connection. See who is around, suggest a drink, ask for a hand, pick up a conversation: everything stays simple, human and immediate.
A clear map to spot travelers near you, without turning the road into a noisy social network.
Start an apero in seconds and create a simple, local and spontaneous moment.
When trouble hits, COBA makes calls for help more direct and more visible to nearby people.
Pick a vibe (cold beers, a sharing board, sunset), set the time and duration. Travelers around you get the invitation, and a group conversation opens to get organized. After the evening, the album keeps everyone's photos.
Set the urgency level, specify the type of trouble (breakdown, battery, medical, lost) and alert nearby travelers who can lend you a hand.
From the map to conversations, a warm and readable interface, even in bright sunlight.
See at a glance who is traveling around you, and the aperos or calls for help in progress.
Your country and themed rooms at the top, then your conversations. An “Unread” filter so you miss nothing.
Ask your question in the country room and share your tips. Several of you on one account? Choose which crew member is writing.
Tools built for life on board, gathered in their own tab.
Log your fill-ups and AdBlue top-ups: your real consumption, your cost per 100 km and an estimate of your next fill-up. Several vehicles, every currency, CSV export.
Before entering a country: papers and customs, vignette, green card, mandatory equipment, sleeping in a van, pets. Follow a country to be notified when its page changes.
Lay your phone flat: it tells you how many centimeters to put under each wheel.
The sun's path hour by hour over your spot, so you know which way to park. Works offline.
The map, messages, aperos and mutual help stay free. COBA+ is there to support the project and shape what comes next.
Monthly, yearly or once and for all, from the app. No commitment: stop whenever you want.
In Mexico, Bubulle, Les Trois Vagabonds' van, broke down. Far from everything, finding help quickly was impossible. A message was sent in a chat group, without knowing who would actually see it.
Roadcats Family answered and hit the road to help. After 110 kilometers between Tizimin and the archaeological city of COBA, one thing became obvious: making this kind of meeting, support and human connection easier could change many trips.
That is how COBAwas born: an app designed to bring travelers closer and make the community simpler, more direct and more alive.
