Description
Standard map apps only show you the shortest route. But the shortest route isn't always the safest.
ZoneScout is a smart navigation and crime heatmap tool designed for your peace of mind. Whether you are a solo traveler checking an Airbnb, a digital nomad, or a local exploring a new neighborhood, ZoneScout pulls official open-source incident data from Police APIs to help you avoid high-risk areas.
HOW IT WORKS:
Simply drop a pin or enter your destination. Instead of just showing you a map of scattered crime dots, our engine calculates a clear 0-100 Safety Score and actively routes you around reported danger zones.
KEY FEATURES:
• NEW! Drop a Pin for Instant Scores: Long-press anywhere on the map to instantly see the Zone Safety Score (0-100) for a 250m radius. Perfect for checking a specific street, hotel, or parking spot before you go.
• NEW! Route Risk Analysis: Get walking directions that prioritize safety. See exactly how many recent incidents (e.g., theft, car break-ins, violent crimes) occurred near your active route before you start walking.
• Interactive Incident Heatmap: See exactly where recent incidents have occurred with visually clear, color-coded risk levels. Filter by specific crime types like Anti-Social Behavior or Car Break-ins.
• Verified 30-Day Data: We map official, open-source police reports from the last 30 days so you always have the most accurate and reliable safety picture, without the noise of unverified rumors or panic.
