Troubleshooting

The map is blank or has missing features

Waypoint needs internet access for live tiles, search and public routing endpoints. Check the connection and try again later if an endpoint is unavailable or rate-limited. Zooming can reveal additional POI symbols. Waypoint has no offline map package.

My location is missing or inaccurate

Tap Locate, grant precise location and enable Android location services. A clear view of the sky improves GNSS accuracy. Open Settings in Waypoint to inspect reported position accuracy, heading status and sensor details. See sensor behavior.

Spoken guidance is silent

Check the Android text-to-speech engine, selected English voice and media volume. In Waypoint, turn Voice guidance off and on to retry engine initialization. Visual guidance remains available if the device speech engine is unavailable.

The day/night map does not change immediately

Waypoint uses the device's local clock and checks the phase every minute. Day treatment runs from 06:00; night treatment begins at 19:00. Confirm the phone's time zone and system clock.

The route or ETA looks different from another navigation app

Waypoint and other apps can use different route providers, profiles, map data and traffic inputs. Waypoint's public routing servers do not supply live traffic or guarantee identical durations. Review the route before you start; do not treat ETA as a guaranteed arrival time.

Waypoint is not in Android Auto's launcher

An APK installed from GitHub may not satisfy Android's trusted distribution requirement for Car App Library apps. See Android Auto; enabling Unknown sources does not solve launcher eligibility.
