## What is Direction Navi?

“Direction Navi” is a walking navigation app that points toward your destination with a large arrow instead of guiding you along a predetermined route.

Explore streets and scenery you might miss by simply following the shortest route, and make your way to your destination by following your instincts.

Direction Navi also supports Apple Watch. While navigating, check the direction and distance to your destination at a glance without taking out your iPhone.

【Key Features】
• See the direction of your destination with a large arrow
• Check the straight-line distance and location accuracy
• View the direction and distance to your destination on Apple Watch
• Save your current location with “I like this place” or stop navigation from Apple Watch
• Search for train stations, places, and addresses
• Quickly find nearby convenience stores, cafés, family restaurants, and train stations
• Automatically record your walking history during navigation
• Review your walking route on a map
• Save your current location as a favorite with “I like this place”
• Explore nearby places and Look Around imagery around saved spots
• View Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

【How to Use】
1. Select a destination by searching or tapping the map.
2. Tap “Walk This Way.”
3. Follow the arrow and remaining distance toward your destination.
4. When you end navigation, your walking history is saved on your device if enough route points were recorded.

【Your Data】
Your walking history, saved spots, and recently viewed places are stored on your device and are not sent to the developer’s server. No account registration is required.

This app does not provide road-based routes or turn-by-turn directions. Estimated walking times are based on straight-line distance.

Distances and directions may differ from your actual surroundings depending on your device’s sensors, the surrounding environment, and the available location data. Follow traffic rules and local laws, stay aware of your surroundings, and use the app safely.
