If you would like to make your own building accessible with eZwayZ, please contact us at info@ezwayz.com . FOLLOW THE VIBE The app guides you to your destination with a combination of visual route display, audio and haptic signals (vibrates and makes a sound when you are going in the right direction), and spoken route instructions. You can choose the combination that best suits your own abilities. You can use the app to determine your location, plan your route and explore your surroundings: what is in my immediate vicinity? IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING THE APP Please note: this app is still in a testing phase. People who are blind may use the app ONLY UNDER SUPERVISION. Please read the quick-start or manual carefully before using the app. The quick-start starts automatically when you install the app for the first time. You can find the manual in the app’s settings. The app is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for your orientation and mobility skills, but is intended as an additional tool. It is not a replacement for, for example, a white cane, guide dog or other primary mobility aid. For your personal safety it is important to remain aware of your surroundings at all times while using the app. You can of course also go out together with someone, which might even make it more fun! By using the app, you agree that the use of the eZwayZ app is at your own risk. SUITABLE IPHONE WITH INTERNET CONNECTION We recommend at least an iPhone 8 or newer for the app to work properly. The app requires an internet connection, so make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network or turn on your mobile internet.

Indoor routes can be difficult to remember, especially inside unfamiliar buildings where traditional maps offer little help. A turn that seemed obvious on the way in can be easy to miss when it is time to return. Start Navigating lets you record an indoor walking route as you travel it, then open the saved route later for spoken guidance. Save the path once, add useful named spots along the way, and return to it whenever you need it. Record Once. Follow It Again. Key Features - Route Recording Record an indoor walking route at your normal pace and save it with a name for later. - Spoken Turn Guidance Hear clear instructions a few steps before each turn, giving you time to prepare as you follow the route. - Forward and Reverse Routes Follow a route in the direction you recorded it or reverse it to return from the destination to the starting point. - Named Spots Add names for useful places and landmarks while recording. Adjust marker names and alert distances later. - Places and Route Filters Organize routes by building, place, floor, or area. Filter saved routes by location and date to find the route you need. - Flexible Guidance Feedback Choose your preferred speaking voice and speed. Use spoken cues, navigation sounds, haptic feedback, or a combination that works for you. - iCloud Sync Keep saved routes available across your devices through iCloud. - Shared Routes Beta Browse routes shared by other users and add a separate copy to your personal route collection. Shared routes are created by users, so always confirm that a route makes sense for your surroundings. - Core Guidance Without Internet Record and follow your personal routes without an internet connection. Shared Routes Beta and iCloud sync require a connection. Important Safety Information Start Navigating helps you retrace routes you have already walked and recorded. It cannot detect obstacles, stairs, drop offs, doors, furniture that has moved, or other conditions that may have changed. Continue using your usual navigation tools, mobility skills, and awareness. Start Navigating is designed to work alongside them, not replace them. If something feels wrong or you become disoriented, stop and check your surroundings.
