Your extra eye on the water!
rowculus keeps rowing crews aware of one another on the water — with a live map of your boat and nearby crews, for rowers and coxes.
WHAT THE APP CAN DO
A clear map. Better awareness on every outing.
Live map
See your boat, participating crews, and nearby obstacles at a glance. The map also helps you get your bearings on the water.
Location sharing & privacy mode
Your position is shared automatically during an active outing. In anonymous mode, your boat’s name and type stay hidden.
Rower & cox view
As a rower, you sit facing backwards relative to your direction of travel — the map rotates to match. Coxes use the normal orientation, or a fixed north-up view.
Collision warning
rowculus warns you in time when a boat or obstacle gets dangerously close — right on your device, in real time.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps out on the water.
Set up your boat
Create a profile for your boat and its type, and choose between the rower and cox view.
Start your outing
Activate the outing before you cast off — rowculus now shares your location.
Stay alert
See nearby crews live on the map. Stay alert regardless — rowculus is a support, not a replacement.
