Accounts & Premium
Do you need an account?
No. Radar works fully signed out, with your preferences kept on your device. Sign in when you want your saved places and settings to follow you across devices.
Signed in, your category and source choices, units, radius, last postcode, and vehicle profile are synced to your account, and your saved places and community contributions are tied to you.
Ways to sign in
- Sign in with your Sensa account: the same Sensa identity you use everywhere else. A new Sensa sign-in sets up your Radar and Sensa accounts together. A Radar account is a Sensa account, so there is no separate Radar password to remember or reset.
- Nomad: a Nomad campervan signs in with its licence.
Base versus Premium
Radar has two tiers: Base, which is free, and Premium.
Premium unlocks exactly five things:
- The vehicle profile: routing that uses your van's height, width, length, and weight, with fit checks and hazard and gradient avoidance. See Routing.
- Offline map packs: download an area to use without signal. In development, not available yet (see below).
- Google Places: extra place coverage where open data is thin.
- Premium map tiles: higher-detail and satellite map imagery.
- A higher saved-place cap: 1,000 instead of 100.
Everything else is free, permanently, including: searching every category across all the open data sources, worldwide search, live UK fuel prices, food-hygiene and NHS and MOT and library and toilet data, flood warnings and road hazards, A-to-B routing with turn-by-turn directions, your vehicle's fuel type and economy for cost estimates, adding or reviewing places, and Tracking journey history on a Nomad van.
How to get Premium
Premium is currently invite-only. There is no shop or checkout. It is either granted by a Sensa administrator or bundled with a Nomad campervan licence.
Offline maps
Offline map packs are a planned Premium feature that will arrive with the native mobile app. They are not available today on any platform. When they land, a downloaded pack will keep working offline for good.
