About
Lighthouse by MapQuest helps families answer the everyday questions that cause worry: Where is my family? Is my loved one on the way? Did everyone arrive safely? Can my family reach me if something goes wrong?
Share live location, On My Way ETAs, check-ins, and SOS with your private family circle — all backed by MapQuest's long history of helping people get where they're going.
WITH LIGHTHOUSE, FAMILIES CAN:
• See everyone on one live map — know where loved ones are in your private circle
• Share live ETAs — On My Way shows where someone is headed and when to expect them
• Get arrival and departure alerts — know when family gets to or leaves home, school, work, and more
• Check in with one tap — say "I'm okay" without another call or text
• Send an SOS — quickly alert trusted family members when help may be needed
• Get low battery alerts — know when a loved one's phone may be about to go dark
• Invite the whole family — one private circle, one simple plan
BUILT FOR FAMILIES, NOT SECRET TRACKING
Lighthouse uses permission-based location sharing. Family members join your private circle and choose what they share. Your family's location is for the people you trust — never public, never sold.
ONE PLAN FOR EVERYONE
One person subscribes to Lighthouse Premium and the whole circle is in. Choose a monthly plan, or start the annual plan with a free trial. Pricing is always shown before purchase, and your trial renews into a subscription unless canceled before it ends. Manage or cancel anytime through your Apple account.
BACKED BY MAPQUEST
MapQuest has spent decades helping people get where they're going. Lighthouse brings that same experience with maps, routes, and ETAs to the moments that matter most: knowing your family is safe, on the way, and able to reach you.
Location accuracy, alerts, On My Way, and SOS notifications depend on device settings, permissions, network connection, and location availability. Lighthouse is not a replacement for emergency services.

What’s new
• Detected stops in History now show matching addresses and saved places, and you can save a new place directly from a stop card. • Status updates can now show who confirmed them, making it clearer where an update came from. • Improved travel detection after a stop, helping your timeline better reflect when you’re on the move again. • History day cards now display time spans more reliably, with a refreshed animation when viewing your history. • Joining by invite code is more reliable, even when entering the code quickly. • Improved permission prompts so the app doesn’t show an error while you’re still responding. • Location and map updates are more efficient in the background, helping reduce unnecessary battery use. • Fixed occasional stale status displays and improved text layout across the app.
