Waymap general terms of service
for IOS and Android Apps and website.
General – Please Be Safe. Public spaces and transport environments are often busy and space is often limited. You and, if you have one, your guide or service dog will need to be able to get around these environments safely, on your own. Waymap will give you directions and information, but you need to stay aware of your environment and keep yourself safe. As such, Waymap is intended as a secondary navigation tool and should not be solely relied on.
In particular, wear headphones that don’t block out your environment and, if you use them, continue to rely on your white cane or service dog. These Terms were last updated on 29 July 2020.
