Heed Features: live map, SOS, saved-area alerts.

Section 03 · Features

What's in the box, day one.

Live safety map

Color-coded pins by category, scaled by recency. Time-window filters from the last hour out to thirty days.

Confidence-scored reports

Unconfirmed pins read differently from Confirmed. Kidnapping reports get extra checks before they ever show.

Trusted-contact SOS

Up to five contacts. SMS plus WhatsApp. Live location refreshes every minute for ten minutes after the alert.

Saved-area push

Pick up to three zones like home, work, or anywhere. Confirmed incidents in those areas tap your shoulder.

Blacklist registry

Roads flagged by five or more residents earn a permanent risk marker. The long-term intelligence layer.

A persistent emergency button on every screen. Three seconds to fire. Five seconds to cancel. Then SMS plus WhatsApp goes to up to five trusted contacts with a Google Maps link that updates every sixty seconds for the next ten minutes.
