## What is AnchorRoute?

AnchorRoute is a walking-only navigation app built for people who find it easy to lose their bearings — the "direction-impaired." Even if that's you, AnchorRoute helps you confidently explore unfamiliar places and discover something new close to home.

■ Guidance tuned to how you think
We diagnose your spatial cognition style — shaped by the terrain you grew up with (mountains vs. coastline) and how comfortable you are relying on landmarks — and guide you accordingly.

■ Getting lost isn't a failure
Wander off route and AnchorRoute won't rush you back. Instead, it can suggest something interesting nearby, or quietly help you retrace your steps when you're ready — turning exploration into part of the experience. And even when you do get lost, AR keeps pointing toward your destination, so you never truly lose sight of it.

■ Guidance for every sense
Voice, haptics, spatial audio, and an AR mode that overlays direction onto your camera view — so you're not stuck staring at a screen. The display dims automatically while you walk, and guidance shifts to voice.

■ "Temporal Bridge"
In your hometown or home turf, AnchorRoute can tell you what used to stand where you're walking — tuned to the era you grew up in.

■ Walks that add up to something
Every walk is recorded automatically, earning points and achievement badges you can share to social media in one tap.

■ SOS, just in case
Feeling anxious? Share your current location with an emergency contact instantly.

■ AnchorRoute+ (subscription)
