Your exit is coming up. The map tilts, the buildings rise around you in real 3D, and a calm voice tells you what to do next - then goes quiet and hands your music back. Guidance that feels like looking through the windshield, not like reading a diagram. No account. No tracking. Nothing to sign up for. THE VIEW FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL The camera rides behind your vehicle at roughly a 62 degree tilt, so the street ahead unfolds the way your eyes see it. Realistic 3D terrain and extruded buildings give you landmarks to steer by. The arrow puck turns with your heading and sits low on screen, so most of the map is road ahead. Only the route still to come stays drawn. A VOICE YOU WILL NOT MUTE Several languages and voices, four detail levels, adjustable speaking rate. It lowers your music instead of cutting it off, so a podcast survives the trip. IT KEEPS UP WITH YOU - Your position is snapped onto the route, so the arrow follows the road - Off-route detection waits for three consecutive readings before rerouting, so one bad GPS jump cannot derail you - Live ETA blends the route average with how fast you are actually moving - Speeding alerts against an estimated limit, with a tolerance you set - Alerts for the speed cameras and incidents you saved yourself - Lane direction hints, clearly labelled as estimated - A GPS-loss warning; navigation runs with the screen off, or keep it awake - An arrival screen that can save where you parked SEARCH BUILT FOR HOW YOU TYPE Type Vietnamese names without accents and still find them. Autocomplete, full search, voice search, 12 colour-coded category chips, paste raw coordinates straight in. Search along your route, in the order you will pass the results. ROUTES FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY MOVE Six modes: car, motorbike (car routing, motorbike ETA), truck (no height or weight limits yet), walk, bike and transit (ETA only). Alternatives labelled Fastest and Shortest. Multi-stop trips with one-tap order optimization. Avoid tolls or highways, set a departure or arrival time, fuel or kWh estimates per profile, an EV range warning, parking at the destination. Start and destination are both editable. Tap any step to fly the camera to that turn. A MAP WORTH LOOKING AT Four styles - standard, hybrid, satellite, terrain - Apple's traffic layer (to read; the route and ETA do not react to it), a scale bar, a 2D/3D button, two-finger tilt, rotate and orbit. Look Around street imagery in place cards and full screen, where Apple has coverage. Tap any Apple place for its card. AND THE REST Report an incident in one tap: accident, jam, roadworks, closure, flooding, hazard, police, speed camera, breakdown. Save places to Home, Work, Favourites, Want to Go or your own lists, with private notes and your parked car. Trip history with monthly stats. AR walking directions. Accessibility: larger text, high-contrast route, reduce motion, VoiceOver labels. PRIVACY, NOT AS A SETTING Everything you save lives on your device. No account, no analytics, no tracking SDK, no server of ours. One button exports all of your data as JSON. One button deletes all of it, permanently. Map tiles, place search and routing are served by Apple Maps under Apple's privacy policy. WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO - Not offline navigation: a connection is required. Offline means a saved map image of a region plus your saved places. - Speed limits are estimated from the road name, not official data, and marked as estimates. - Transit gives an ETA only, with no step-by-step legs, then offers to hand off to Apple Maps. - Community reports stay on your device and are not shared between users yet, so you see only your own. - Truck applies no height or weight limits. Motorbike is car routing with an ETA factor. - Look Around has no coverage in Vietnam. - There are no school-zone alerts. Built with Vietnam in mind first - motorbike mode, flood reports, accent-free search.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Navio at none against WayLog's 2. Navio also leads on ads (none vs shown). WayLog's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
