/ 01The problem

Beautiful roads. Real dead zones.

01

Poor network

Large stretches of ghat and forest road sit outside reliable mobile coverage.

02

Losing direction

Trails fork and forest roads look alike — it's easy to drift off the safe route.

03

No local guidance

Landslide zones, wildlife crossings, and hairpins aren't always signed.

04

Delayed emergencies

Family and authorities often don't know a traveller's exact last location.

/ 02How it works

Safety that follows the route, not just the person.

When you're approaching a ghat road, forest boundary, or trekking trailhead, RutMe auto-detects the route using your latitude, longitude, altitude, and direction of travel — then adapts what it shows you.

Ghat & road mode

Detects uphill vs. downhill movement and surfaces contextual driving guidance — engine braking on descents, overtaking caution on hairpins, fog and landslide alerts tied to the exact stretch of road you're on.

Adventure mode

For treks, forest walks, and waterfall visits: log your activity type, group size, and expected return time before you start. RutMe tracks checkpoint progress and flags it automatically if you're overdue.
