How to Go Live and Get Spotted in Seconds

🚦 Go Live. Get Spotted. Get Seen.

You built your car to be seen — not to sit invisible in traffic.
Spota’s Go Live feature makes that happen.

In just a few taps, you can make your car visible to nearby enthusiasts and photographers.
They’ll see your car on the map, get notified instantly, and can even capture or upload photos of your ride — giving you real street content in seconds.

Here’s how to make it happen 👇


🔥 Step 1: Tap Go Live

Open the Spota app and tap the Go Live button.
Your phone will request location access — this is what powers the live map.

Once approved, your car turns into a live pin that nearby users can see.
From there, you’re officially “on the radar.”

💡 Pro Tip: Only go live when you’re cruising, attending meets, or want to show off your build. You’re in full control of when you appear.


📍 Step 2: Let the Notifications Do the Work

As soon as you’re live, Spota automatically sends alerts to nearby spotters:

“🔥 @BoostedSRT just went live 2.3km away in a 750HP Challenger!”

Other users can open the map, find you, and start spotting.
You might even see cameras come out — that’s the magic.


📸 Step 3: Get Spotted and Approved

When someone spots your car, they can snap a photo or upload a short video.
The media goes straight to your inbox for review.

You’ll get a notification like:

“📸 You’ve been spotted by @PhotoKing!”

Accept it, and the shot appears in your Spots Tab, with the photographer credited.
Reject it, and it disappears — simple as that.


🛡 Step 4: Stay in Control

Privacy matters.
That’s why you can:

  • End your live session anytime
  • Stay visible only at a city-level, never your exact pin
  • Use Ghost Mode to hide your route after each drive

Your car’s visibility ends the moment you tap “End Live.”


🏁 Step 5: Build Your Clout

The more you go live, the more your car gets spotted — and the more XP, badges, and followers you earn.

Your “Spotted Count” becomes a flex stat right on your profile, proving how much attention your build gets out on the streets.

⚡ Every drive becomes an event. Every spot becomes content. Every car becomes a star.
