## What is Waylo?

Waylo is built for road trips where more than one car sets off together — holidays with friends, family trips, or a company outing where the group splits across several vehicles.

WHAT WAYLO DOES

ROUTE AND MAP
Plan your route with stops, reorder waypoints by dragging, and let the app work out the distance and ETA for each car separately.

LIVE GROUP LOCATION
See where the other cars are in real time — nobody gets lost, and everyone knows who is waiting for whom.

CARS AND CREWS
Every car has its own colour, make and crew, so you can tell at a glance who is where.

SHARED EXPENSES
Log what you spend together — fuel, accommodation, food — in any currency. Waylo converts it and works out who owes what.

WEATHER AND EXCHANGE RATES
Weather forecast along the route and current exchange rates when you cross a border.

SMART NOTIFICATIONS
Waylo tells you when the group is waiting for you, or when you are approaching the next stop.

WORKS OFFLINE
Key trip data stays available without a signal and syncs as soon as you are back online.

WHO IT IS FOR
Groups travelling by car who want the route, everyone's position and the shared money in one place — instead of a group chat and a spreadsheet.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.10 — 2026-09-15

When someone on the trip reports trouble, it now shows on the map. The marker carries the colour and icon of what happened — SOS, stuck vehicle, breakdown, hazard — and a fresh report pulses so it does not get lost among the stops.

Tapping it opens what the others actually need: the car's make, model, engine and year, where exactly it stands, and when it was reported. Navigation to the spot and a way into the chat are one tap away.

Whoever asked for help can mark it resolved. The marker leaves the map so nobody drives out for nothing, while the chat keeps the record that it happened.

### 1.0.9 — 2026-09-14

Crews can now talk to each other. A group chat with photos, mentions and read
state travels with the trip, and the walkie-talkie carries live voice between
cars — press to speak, release to listen, so nobody holds a phone while driving.

Ask for help when something goes wrong. Four kinds of trouble — SOS, stuck,
breakdown, hazard — reach only the crews who can actually turn around: within
5 km or 30 minutes of driving. Your car's make, model and engine go out with the
request, so the others know straight away whether they carry a part that fits.

Waylo now speaks Polish, French and German alongside Czech, Slovenian and
English. The language belongs to the account, so everyone travelling together
reads the app in their own — interface, notifications and spoken announcements.

Plan the whole trip from your phone. Cars, members and trip settings no longer
need the web. Route planning can avoid an entire country, motorways, tolls or
ferries, and a long press on the map drops a point the route has to pass
through.

Also new: turn-by-turn guidance inside the app, progress counted country by
country, published routes you can browse for inspiration and copy under your own
profile, and a night mode that pauses the plan between 21:00 and 7:00 instead of
waking everyone at dawn.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-20

Waylo now speaks Slovenian and English alongside Czech. The language belongs to
your account, so everyone travelling together can read the app in their own —
the interface, the notifications, the spoken announcements and the stop
descriptions. The group leader can set it for a member, or you can change it
yourself in Profile.

Fuel stations now work without a signal. Prices and opening hours are prepared
in advance for the whole route, so tapping a station on the map shows them
straight away — no waiting, no connection needed.

Fixed: fuel prices in currencies without decimals were shown incorrectly.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-19

Driver mode: a single screen with the next stop, the arrival time and two large
buttons — made for a phone sitting in a car mount.

Stops are now checked off per person. A stop leaves the route only once everyone
has marked it, and only the group leader can put it back.

The summary can now be switched between your own car and the whole group, and
all costs are shown in Czech koruna with a note on the currency you actually pay
in at the border.

Also new: a pre-trip checklist by country, offline emergency numbers, spoken
border and stop alerts, voting on bonus stops, an evening summary at 22:00,
a trip diary you can export to PDF, offline map tiles, and fuel logging with
fuel consumption per car.

Background location keeps working when the app is closed or the phone is locked,
so arrivals are detected even with the screen off. The app now explains why it
needs the permission the first time you open the map, and the current state is
always visible in your profile.

Fixes: arrival times were two hours off, alerts could arrive in bulk, photos are
uploaded far smaller now, departure times are picked in a calendar instead of
typed, and border alerts only arrive when you are actually approaching the border.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-12

• Fixed: setting a stop as your car's start no longer clears the start for the other cars in the group.

• You can now set the departure date and time directly in the app — for the group start as well as your own car's. Until now this was only possible on the web.

• Trip leaders can switch on Test mode to check that the morning briefing, delay alerts, arrival detection and border warnings really work, without waiting for them to fire out on the road. Test notifications are sent only to the leader who triggered them.

• Long stop notes are now collapsed under "Show more", so arrival time, weather and navigation stay within reach on the screen.
