Jaunt is a walking guide for New York City. Pick where you want to go, and Jaunt plans a route that prefers parks and quieter streets, then guides you with a calm voice so your phone can stay in your pocket. Along the way, Jaunt tells you the stories of the places you pass. Landmarks, blocks, and neighborhoods each have their own short story, spoken as you reach them. Turn stories off with one tap when you just want directions. Going further? Tap Metro and Jaunt finds the subway options for your trip. It walks you to the station, shows your stops on the ride, and picks up the walk again when you get off. What you get: - Voice directions spoken at the corner, with the screen locked - Routes through parks and quieter streets - Stories of the places you pass, on quiet blocks too - Subway trips on the MTA, with walk, ride, and walk guidance - A lock screen card with your next turn and the place you are passing - Loop walks when you want to wander and come back - Save places and plan trips for later Jaunt uses your location in the background to keep guiding you while the screen is off, and your phone's motion sensors to keep you on the sidewalk where GPS is weak between tall buildings. Jaunt currently covers New York City. More cities are on the way.
