Waymap vs STEP Navigation

Find your way anywhere, and help others do the same. Waymap is a navigation app for everyday journeys. Plan your route, get walking directions, and move through the city with confidence. Then, when you step inside a Waymap-enabled venue, navigation keeps going. Through buildings, underground spaces, and back outside again. No GPS dead zones. No signal dropouts. No gaps in guidance. What makes Waymap different is the impact of every journey. Each trip helps improve routing, refine accuracy, and strengthen guidance for the next person; including people who are blind, visually impaired, or navigating with other accessibility needs. You are not just finding your way. You are helping make your city more accessible for everyone.

STEP Navigation is designed to help blind and low vision users find building entrances, and navigate while inside. Pinpoint your exact location using virtual anchors and follow the precise guidance to within a cane's length of your destination. The App uses computer vision to support outdoors with precision much greater than GPS-only technologies. If you have a place you'd like to navigate to outdoors where high-precision is a must (e.g., a building entrance or a bus stop), you can request that we add it to our mapping database using an in-app form. For indoor navigation, you can create your own private maps or utilize public maps provided by others. Our set of public maps is small, but we are working to bring more maps online. If you manage a venue and would like to map it so visitors can navigate it using our app, please contact us.
