## What is AirPath?

Walk Dubai and Abu Dhabi with less direct sun.

AirPath is a walking route planner and pedestrian navigation app designed for hot cities. Compare routes by estimated direct-sun exposure, shade, protected access, walking time, and distance. Choose the Coolest route when comfort matters or the Fastest route when every minute counts.

FIND A COOLER WALK

• Compare alternative walking routes before you start.
• See route segments classified as shade, protected access, or direct sun.
• Use time-aware estimates based on sun position and available geographic evidence.
• Find routes that can use verified protected or air-conditioned access when available.

COMPARE COMFORT AND TIME

AirPath shows estimated walking time, distance, direct-sun exposure, shaded sections, and protected sections for each available route. The Coolest route may take longer while reducing exposure to direct sun. The Fastest route prioritizes walking time.

WALKING NAVIGATION

• Follow turn-by-turn pedestrian guidance on the map.
• View upcoming steps, remaining distance, and estimated arrival time.
• Hear spoken navigation instructions in supported languages.
• Enable optional background guidance during an active route.

MAPS THAT ALSO WORK OFFLINE

Download Dubai or Abu Dhabi city data once. After installation, maps, place search, walking route planning, and navigation remain available without mobile data.

Internet is still required for the initial city download, city-data updates, live weather, and optional reports or diagnostics.

BUILT FOR DUBAI AND ABU DHABI

Search available landmarks, streets, shopping malls, metro stations, saved places, and other destinations in the installed city data.

AirPath supports English, Arabic, Russian, French, Spanish, German, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

AirPath requires no account and contains no advertisements or in-app purchases. Anonymous diagnostics and usage analytics are optional and disabled by default.

IMPORTANT

Shade, protected-access, and direct-sun information is estimated from available geographic data and the selected time. Actual shade, access, construction, weather, and opening hours can change. Always follow local signs, access rules, weather guidance, and your own judgment.
