BuddySOS for Electric Forest
BuddySOS is a free festival app for Electric Forest campers and attendees. Live GPS across the Double JJ Resort grounds and one-tap SOS. iOS and Android.
Why a festival app for Electric Forest?
Electric Forest is a four-night camping festival in rural Michigan with a uniquely forested, dimly-lit layout. The 'Forest' itself is intentionally maze-like with art installations and hidden stages. Beautiful, and easy to get lost in with a group. A BuddySOS group keeps everyone on one shared map when the trees and lighting work against you.
Electric Forest's footprint is the wooded section of the Double JJ Resort plus campgrounds. The Forest portion is intentionally maze-like at night, and the festival's vibe encourages wandering. That is what makes a BuddySOS live group map useful.

Questions about BuddySOS at Electric Forest
Will BuddySOS work in the Forest at night?
Yes. The BuddySOS group map is readable in low light so you can use it without blinding yourself or your group. Rural Michigan cell coverage is weak in spots. Pair the app with a clear meeting plan as a low-tech backup.
