About

Virtual Navigation

Read full description

Choose a mode of transport and set a destination to start a live activity. The activity can be viewed and updated in the Dynamic Island, on the Lock Screen, in CarPlay, and on watchOS. Information about the app: Each time a journey is started, a new and unique live activity is created. Only the most recently started activity can be updated, while any activity can be removed. Live Activities and their interactive features work on iPhone, with CarPlay when connected, and on watchOS. When using the iPad app with Stage Manager, use the bottom-right corner to show the destinations. Tap the image to change the transport type. Remove a live activity by swiping left on its notification. Its image will also disappear from the Dynamic Island. The concept is a real-life mini-game for families: children choose a destination while their parents drive them there. The selected destination remains visible in CarPlay through a live activity.
