About WayMap
At Waymap, our mission is clear: we offer accessible navigation for all. Indoors. Outdoors. Even deep underground.
With our world-beating step-based location technology, we plan to make every city in the world more accessible for everyone.
Partnerships
"We started off with a mission to create a navigation app which changes the lives of visually impaired people. We now have a technology that is so pin-point that it is changing navigation for everyone."
The WayMap App
Our app does not require any Wifi or mobile signal, so it works just as well indoors and underground as it does outside. Whilst Waymap was originally intended for blind and disabled users in urban environments, it’s built to take anyone anywhere.
Unlike other navigation apps, Waymap does not rely on the phone’s camera, so it won’t drain the battery, and is “heads up and hands free.” Our system has been tried and tested in cities across North America and Europe. We are ready to make the aspiration of inclusive, accessible cities a reality.
What We Stand For
World-Leading
Research
Waymap emerged from decades of research in audio navigation by the Royal Society for Blind Children
Setting the Accessibility Standard
Our founders have set the International standards for audio-based wayfinding for blind and low-vision people. We know the challenges inside and out.
Breakthrough Technology
Our Smart Step system is the first of its kind, and delivers best-in-class accuracy, even without any mobile or external signals.
