Joseph is the world's first navigation app that prioritizes congestion-free routes over ETA. Designed to maximize driving freedom. Most navigation apps optimize around ETA first. Joseph is built for drivers who would rather avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic, reduce stop-and-go stress, and enjoy a calmer, more fluid drive, even when that route may take a few minutes longer. Joseph rethinks navigation around a simple but overlooked idea: the fastest route is not always the best route. Made for iPhone, Joseph combines search, routing, turn-by-turn navigation, live traffic intelligence, CarPlay, and privacy-first features into one experience. WHY JOSEPH • Congestion-first routing Joseph is designed to reduce time spent in bumper-to-bumper traffic and prioritize routes that keep you moving. • Live traffic intelligence Joseph is built on enterprise-grade infrastructure backed by 700 million devices worldwide to help identify better routes in real time and reduce stressful congestion. • Stay focused A minimalistic interface, smooth camera movement, advanced route visuals, and minimal distractions are central to Joseph's design philosophy. • Searching made easy Find destinations with fast, flexible search across over 375 million addresses, plus categories. • Clear instructions for every lane Joseph helps you prepare for upcoming turns and exits by showing which lane to use. • Real-time alerts for the road ahead Joseph can alert you to important conditions ahead on your route, helping you stay aware. • Turn-by-turn navigation Get clear, confident guidance with voice instructions designed to avoid over-talking, panic, and unnecessary noise. • CarPlay Use Joseph on CarPlay for a refined driving experience using your vehicle's infotainment system. • Privacy-first features Home, Work, Saved Places, and Recents are stored on device. Joseph does not sell user data or build tracking profiles around your driving. • On-device voice search Joseph never sends your voice to the cloud. By using SpeechAnalyzer for voice input, voice search is fast, private, and native to iPhone. JOSEPH PLUS Upgrade to Joseph Plus for unlimited navigation. JOSEPH PRO Joseph Pro includes everything in Joseph Plus, plus Pro 3D Map, dynamic lighting, and weather effects. A NEW WAY TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD -- and with total privacy.
