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.
