Hi @Bright_Knowledge!

This sounds like a pretty challenging app to build but if you’re patient and persistent then I think Thunkable is up to the task 💪

You’ll need to be familiar with the location sensor and the map component, as well as managing user permissions, so there are quite a few moving parts here.

We have a ride-sharing sample app, called “Ride”, then demonstrates a lot of the features you’re looking for - I’d recommend you take a look at this first and update the community as you app progresses:

Thanks!

Apologies everyone. This was not intended to be private / for PRO users only.

[Here is the link to remix Ride](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/d792490707738a2ede0f5da7afc0895d) – updated the documentation as well.

Thanks for catching this!
