Navigation and Voice
Waypoint requests route geometry from public routing endpoints and hands the route to Ferrostar for guidance. Ferrostar tracks progress, selects spoken maneuver instructions and supports off-route recalculation. The app shows the route, next turn, remaining distance, speed when available and an estimated arrival time. Routing quality depends on provider coverage and connectivity.
Current profiles are OSRM for driving and Valhalla for motorcycle, bicycle and walking. Route duration is an estimate from route progress; the app does not have live traffic, lane-level guidance or offline route data. See Privacy and Providers.
The theme changes map presentation only. Switching worlds during a route keeps the destination and guidance session. Navigation remains available without quests or rewards.
The default spoken voice comes from the Android text-to-speech engine and voice selected in device settings. If speech is unavailable, visual turn guidance remains available.
World voice style adds a different bounded pitch/rate profile for each of the 38 worlds and original phrases at route start, during the trip and on arrival. The useful instruction comes first. Extra phrases are rate-limited and omitted near an imminent maneuver or urgent reroute. The feature also applies to Android Auto.
This is system-generated speech, not 38 separately recorded actors. The app does not clone game actors or include third-party recordings. See Sources and Licensing for the linked Waze voice-pack archive and its contents.
Use the spoken turn, route line and real-world signs together. Estimated arrival, location accuracy and place coverage can vary. The public demo routing servers can be throttled or unavailable; Waypoint is not a traffic-aware or offline navigation service.
