Routes with Nav

Follow one drop with Heading there

Follow one drop live while you head to it, separately from a multi-stop Nav route.

Use it for a single drop

Open a drop’s details and tap Heading there. The button changes to On my way while you’re following it, and the drop counts you among the members heading there. This follows the selected drop; it does not plan a multi-stop route or start turn-by-turn directions. You can follow one drop at a time.

On iPhone: a Live Activity

On supported iPhones, the drop’s line, stock and confidence stay up to date on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island when Live Activities are allowed. If they are disabled, enable them in your phone’s settings for Drop Radar. Tap On my way in the drop details to stop following.

On Android: a live notification

On Android, Heading there shows an ongoing notification that stays up to date: the store and area, the collectible and the drop’s status, the line or Sold out, whether a vendor is there, up to three items in stock, how sure we are, and when it last changed. On Android 16 it can also appear as a Live Update, with a chip in the status bar. Tap I’m not going in the notification, or On my way in the drop details, to stop following. This needs the latest app version.

The notification needs notification permission. If notifications are off, Drop Radar asks for them; you still count as heading there, but the live notification appears only once notifications are allowed.

When it ends

Following ends on its own when the drop ends, and its update stays about 15 minutes so you can see the final state. It also ends about 3 hours after you started, and when you sign out on that phone.

For directions or several stops

Use the drop’s directions control to navigate with your maps app. Use Nav to build and manage a trip with several stores. Following a drop is not a reservation or a guarantee that stock will remain.

Still need a hand? Open the ? on the map for in-app help, or contact support.
