About

WaypointGo

Features

Intuitive navigation for walking. Drop a waypoint and WaypointGo points the way with a live bearing and distance β€” plus a simplified walking route when you want one. No clutter, no account, offline-first. POINT YOURSELF AT ANY WAYPOINT Drop a target and WaypointGo shows the live direction and straight-line distance to it. Point, navigate, go. WALKING MODE: INTUITIVE ROUTING FOR WALKING, NOT DRIVING Turn-by-turn apps are built for cars at speed β€” voice prompts and one-way detours that are just noise on foot. Walking Mode instead draws a simple route you read at a glance and follow at your own pace. SAVE, SEARCH AND IMPORT WAYPOINTS Stand where you are and tap save, drop a pin on the map, type coordinates in decimal or DMS, search a place by name, or import a GPX file β€” and export your list to back it up. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL The compass is the core and works fully offline β€” direction and distance computed on-device from GPS, at sea, on a mountain, or in airplane mode. Place search and Walking Mode are secondary extras that need a connection.
