Terms

Follow traffic laws, road signs and road conditions over anything Lode says. Set your route before you drive. Keep your eyes on the road, and don’t use your phone in a way that’s unsafe or illegal where you are.

Routes, traffic, speed limits, cameras, school zones, weather, store hours and road reports come from many sources and can be wrong or out of date. A road may be closed, private, unsafe or unsuitable for your vehicle. Use your own judgment.

Low-bridge, height and weight warnings can miss limits. Always obey posted signs. Your vehicle’s size and route are your responsibility.

Share only with people you choose, and follow only people who agreed. Don’t use Family Circle, Convoy or live sharing to watch anyone without permission. Teen driver alerts are for parents and guardians of drivers in their care.

SOS, crash detection, Walk with me and alerts tell your circle. They don’t contact emergency services, and they can be late, missed or wrong (no signal, a phone off or out of battery, location or notifications turned off). Lode isn’t an emergency service: in an emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the US). See what the safety features can do.

Keep road reports, ratings and hours fixes honest. Lode can remove anything false, abusive or spammy, and may limit features that are misused.

Lode Pro is an optional subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage it in Settings.

Lode uses data and services from others, including OpenStreetMap contributors (© OpenStreetMap, ODbL), OpenMapTiles, Esri, Apple, TomTom, All The Places, Overture Maps Foundation and Wikimedia Commons. Their terms apply to their content. The full list is at lodemaps.app/credits.

Lode is provided as is. As far as the law allows, Lode LLC isn’t responsible for losses or damages from using the app, including wrong directions, missed turns, delays, tickets or accidents.

Lode can change or stop features, and may update these terms. If a change is important, the app will tell you. Using Lode after a change means you accept it.

Children under 13 may use Lode Family with a parent’s permission, in a circle a parent sets up. See Privacy › Children.
