Roads Eye lets you turn your phone into a smart dashcam, so you do not need to buy an expensive dedicated device. By using your phone together with built-in features and in-car integration, the app helps you record and manage your journeys in a simple and practical way. The app is available in English (US), English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian, Urdu, German, Japanese, Nigerian Pidgin, Vietnamese, Turkish, and Polish. The app can record the road while also capturing the map view and driver camera in Picture in Picture, giving you a more complete view of every trip. It also supports incident recording, so important moments can be saved quickly when something unexpected happens. Roads Eye combines video recording with live navigation, helping you follow your route while documenting your drive at the same time. In-car features extend navigation into your vehicle for a more convenient driving experience. Roads Eye keeps a trip history, making it easy to review previous drives and access saved recordings later. You can store images and recordings on your phone and easily share them with friends when needed. The app also includes heat control and phone temperature management features designed to help maintain stable performance during longer recording sessions. With settings for personalization and organized storage for trips and incidents, Roads Eye is designed for drivers who want better documentation, navigation support, and a practical way to keep track of every journey. Warning: Roads Eye is provided as a driver assistance and recording tool only. It does not replace safe driving practices, your full attention, or your responsibility to comply with all traffic laws and regulations. Always operate your vehicle with caution and use the app only in a lawful and safe manner. Do not interact with the app while driving unless it is safe and legally permitted to do so. Recording, storing, and sharing video, audio, images, location data, or driver-facing footage may be subject to local privacy, surveillance, and consent laws, and it is your responsibility to understand and follow those laws in your region. Availability of in-car features and certain app functions may vary depending on your vehicle, device, iOS version, permissions, hardware limitations, and local regulations. Extended recording, navigation, charging, camera use, and wireless connections may increase battery usage and device temperature. Although Roads Eye includes heat control and iPhone temperature management features, performance may be reduced or recording may stop if the device overheats or system conditions require it. Always mount your phone securely, keep your view of the road unobstructed, and review recordings only when your vehicle is parked safely.

Find Your Way Back—Even When GPS Can’t Parking garages, hospitals, hotels, airports, malls, cruise ships, campuses, and convention centers can quickly become confusing. GPS may bring you to the building, but it cannot always remember the elevator, hallway, floor, entrance, or turns you used inside. RouteCue gives you a simple visual trail back. As you walk, capture photos of important landmarks and decision points—such as an elevator, parking level, hallway sign, doorway, or turn. When it is time to return, RouteCue presents those photos in reverse order, one visual cue at a time, helping you retrace the route you actually took. HOW ROUTECUE WORKS 1. Start a new trail. 2. Capture recognizable landmarks along your route. 3. Open the return journey when you are ready to go back. 4. Follow your photos in reverse order, one cue at a time. 5. Finish the trail when you reach your destination. USE ROUTECUE TO HELP RETRACE YOUR STEPS IN: • Multilevel parking garages • Airports and transit centers • Hospitals and medical complexes • Hotels and resorts • Cruise ships • Shopping malls • College and corporate campuses • Convention centers and event venues • Large indoor buildings where GPS is less useful MORE THAN A PARKING PIN A map pin can show where you parked, but it may not show how to navigate multiple floors, elevators, hallways, entrances, or turns. A single photo may capture your parking space, but RouteCue remembers the complete visual path you followed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN RouteCue is designed to work without an account, location tracking, map data, or an internet connection. Your route photos remain on your device, giving you a simple and private way to create visual breadcrumbs. BUILT FOR REAL-LIFE CONFUSION RouteCue is useful for travelers, visitors, families, and anyone who finds large indoor spaces difficult to navigate. Instead of trying to remember every turn, leave yourself a clear visual trail. GPS gets you there. RouteCue helps you remember the way back.
