## What is PrivateNav?

PrivateNav — the route planner that respects your privacy.

  Plan the fastest multi-stop driving route without ever sharing who you are or where you're going. Unlike other navigation apps, PrivateNav decouples your identity from your map data. Names and addresses never leave your device — only anonymous coordinates are sent for route calculation.

  How it works:
  - Add your stops manually, paste a list of addresses, or import from your iPhone Contacts
  - Choose Gasoline mode (optimized with live traffic) or EV mode (optimized for distance and elevation)
  - Tap Optimize — PrivateNav calculates the fastest order to visit every stop and return home
  - Launch turn-by-turn navigation directly in Apple Maps

  Privacy by design:
  - Your contact names are NEVER sent to any server
  - Only latitude/longitude coordinates are used for route calculation
  - No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking, no analytics
  - All data is stored locally on your device
  - No data is ever transmitted to the developer

  Powerful route optimization:
  - Handles dozens of stops with smart route ordering
  - Real-time traffic-aware optimization for gas vehicles
  - Elevation-aware optimization for electric vehicles
  - Drag to reorder stops manually — route recalculates instantly
  - Swipe to remove a stop — no need to re-optimize from scratch

  Built for real life:
  - Import addresses from your Contacts in one tap
  - Paste a list of addresses for quick entry
  - Routes launch directly in Apple Maps with turn-by-turn directions
  - Works with routes of any size — automatically splits into Apple Maps segments if needed

  PrivateNav uses Google Maps APIs for geocoding and route calculation. Your identity stays on your device. Always.
