About
Shturman is a car and walking navigator that keeps its bearings when GPS is jammed or reports a fake position.
HOW IT WORKS
When satellites disappear or suddenly place you in another city or country, Shturman notices, ignores them, and moves your position along the route using your phone's motion sensors (dead reckoning). While the position is estimated, the marker turns orange.
• Car: advances at the road's planned speed only while your iPhone says you are in a vehicle; recognises turns with the gyroscope. Leave the route without GPS and Shturman asks: "Are you here: [street name]?"
• Walking: your steps and the phone's heading.
• "Set my position": drag the map under the pin to show where you are.
SAFETY
• Air-raid alerts by oblast and for Kyiv city: a red banner, a short voice message and a status pill while the alert lasts. The route card warns you if a route crosses an oblast under alert.
• Nearest shelter: 32,000 civil-protection shelters, basements and metro stations are built into the app, so the nearest one is found without internet. One tap builds the route.
• Blackout layer: 6,700 places that work without grid power: "Invincibility Points", fuel stations and pharmacies with generators, and bank branches on the National Bank's POWER BANKING list.
EVERY DAY
• Offline maps of Ukraine by region.
• Trip history with a summary after every trip: distance, time, distance driven without GPS, how far off the position was when GPS returned, and fake-GPS events. Share it if you like.
• Search with history, Home and Work; press and hold the map to route anywhere.
• Siri: "Shturman home", "Shturman work", "Shturman nearest shelter".
• Dark map after sunset, light by day.
• Voice guidance in Ukrainian or English.
PRIVACY
No accounts, ads, analytics or trackers. Trip history, Home and Work, searches and settings stay on your phone. To show the map, find places and build routes, the app sends only what is needed (the map area, the search text, the route's start and destination) to the open services OpenFreeMap, Photon and Valhalla, with no account and no device identifier.
HONEST LIMITS
• Dead reckoning drifts with distance. Shturman shows the uncertainty and corrects your position as soon as GPS returns. It is a driving aid, not a guarantee.
• Map display works offline; building a new route still needs internet today.
• Shelter and blackout data are snapshots: check signs on site, places can be closed.
• Alerts come from a public feed and may be delayed. Always follow official alerts.
PRICE
Your first 10 hours of navigation are free. After that, the monthly "Shturman" subscription renews automatically. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; cancel in your subscription settings at least 24 hours before renewal. Restore purchases is available.

What's New in Shturman
1.1.0
October 21, 2026
New: «Places to visit». We've gathered more than 800 places across Ukraine's safe regions — parks, castles, museums, waterfalls, churches and landmarks. Find them in Settings → «Places to visit». • Your oblast comes first, and the places in it are listed nearest first. • Every place has a photo and a short story, plus a link to its Wikipedia article. • Tap «Get directions» and Shturman takes you there from where you are now. • Descriptions work offline; the photo loads when you open a place. • Free for everyone. Places in occupied and front-line communities are left out — we don't route anyone towards the front.
