## What is Stopwise?

Stopwise: Journey Alarm

Your stop. Your wake-up call.

Settle into your journey with a little less stop-checking. Whether you’re listening to music, reading or resting your eyes, Stopwise alerts you as you approach your destination.

Choose where you’re going, set your alert distance and start your journey alarm. Built for train and bus travel, Stopwise helps you keep track of your stop on everyday commutes and unfamiliar routes.

Previously called Dozer, Stopwise brings a fresh name and look to your journey companion.

MAKE EVERY JOURNEY YOUR OWN

• Choose your destination - Search for a station, address or place, or drop a pin anywhere on the map.

• Decide when to be alerted - Set your alert radius and enable approach warnings to give yourself time to get ready.

• Keep your regular stops handy - Save favourite destinations, give them recognisable names and icons, and organise them for quick access.

• Add a backup timer - Set an optional timed alert alongside your location alarm. The timer works independently of GPS and reminds you to check your location when it expires.

• Check the weather ahead - See current weather and a forecast for your destination before you arrive.

• Personalise your alerts - Choose alarm sounds, vibration patterns and approach-reminder frequency. Test your settings before you travel.

• Remember your regular journeys - Set reminders to help you remember to activate your journey alarm.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Allow the location and notification permissions Stopwise needs, check your sound settings and choose an alert distance appropriate for your journey.

Location accuracy and alert delivery depend on your device, permissions, signal conditions and iOS settings. Sound and vibration also depend on your device configuration. The backup timer provides a timed reminder; it does not detect your arrival.

Keep an eye on announcements and signs, and use Stopwise as an extra travel aid.
