Police & camera alerts

Show police & speed-camera alerts

Police and speed-camera warnings are illegal in some jurisdictions (parts of Europe, for example). Turn this off where the law requires it — using them lawfully is your responsibility.

Alert types

Fixed cameras come from OpenStreetMap and 40 official government feeds — always available, no key required. Community reports (police sightings, hazards, road closures) require community alerts to be enabled below.

Community alerts

Crowd-sourced reports from other Navigaze drivers — police sightings, speed cameras, accidents, hazards, and road closures. Free, no key or account required.

Share & receive community alerts

When enabled, your reports are submitted anonymously and you receive reports from others in real time.

Your presence on the map

Show my position to other Navigaze drivers

Your position appears as a glasses icon on other users' maps. A new random ID is generated every launch, positions are shown ~1–2 min late, and all data is auto-deleted after 10 min — no history is kept. Disable this to stay invisible while still seeing other drivers.

Group Ride

Enable Group Ride

Adds group-ride screens with encrypted relay transport. Scenic routing is always available.

Improve cameras & roads

Deep Beta

Enable Deep Beta

Deep Beta features are experimental. They may be unstable, change without notice, use more processing or network resources, and display incomplete or stale information.

Navigaze tracks walks, runs, and bike rides — no separate app needed.

View past workouts

How it works

• Switch to Bike or Walk mode while not navigating. An 8-second prompt asks if you want to start tracking — tap Yes.
• The exercise bar shows active time, distance, and average pace. The same stats appear on the glasses HUD, replacing the clock line.
• Tap the pause button (two bars) to freeze the clock and stop accumulating distance. Paused time is excluded from pace. Tap the play icon to resume.
• Tap Stop when you are done. A results card appears with your full summary, a map image of your route, and a Share button.
• The Share button opens your phone's native share sheet so you can send your results to Messages, Instagram, or anywhere else.
• Every completed workout is saved automatically to your device.
• On Android, Navigaze syncs Health Connect through APPS Bridge when it is available. Use Sync Health Connect in Past workouts to force a refresh.
• Strava sync coming soon — one-tap upload of your route from the results card, for Navigaze Pro subscribers.

Navigaze Pro users do not need to provide their own API keys because supported services are included with their subscription. Pro users may still enter personal API keys if they prefer to use their own accounts.

Navigaze Pro active

Traffic routing, live alerts, speed limits, voice search, HUD widgets, and supported subscription-backed services are active. Personal API keys below remain available if you prefer your own provider accounts.

Deactivate Navigaze Pro on this device

Navigaze works fully without any keys. The keys below are optional upgrades — all are available on free tiers.

OpenWeb Ninja — Waze-sourced alerts

Adds real-time Waze police reports, community hazards, and traffic-jam colours on the phone map — useful in regions where Waze has strong user coverage.

Enable OpenWeb Ninja alerts

Get an OpenWeb Ninja key

1. Go to openwebninja.com and create an account.
2. Subscribe to Waze Alerts & Jams (free tier: 50 requests/month; ~$0.005 each after that).
3. Open Dashboard → API Keys and copy the key starting with ak_.

TomTom — traffic-aware routing, accurate speed limits & live incidents

The single most impactful key. Unlocks traffic-aware routing, the automatic faster-route switch, precise snap-to-road speed limits pre-fetched for your whole route, and live incident overlays on the map.

Get a free TomTom key

1. Go to developer.tomtom.com and register.
2. Verify your email — a key appears under Dashboard → Keys.
3. Copy and paste it above.

Free tier: ~2,500 requests/day. No credit card required.

Geocode.maps.co — extra address search

An additional geocoding fallback for address search. Search already works without it via Photon and Nominatim — add this if you want a third source for harder-to-find addresses.

Get a Geocode.maps.co key

1. Sign up at geocode.maps.co.
2. Confirm your email — your key appears in your account dashboard.

Open Charge Map — EV charger coverage

Expands EV charging station data beyond what OpenStreetMap provides. EV chargers already appear on the map without a key — add this for broader and more up-to-date coverage.

Get an Open Charge Map key

1. Register at openchargemap.org.
2. Go to My Profile → My Apps and create an app to get your key.

Optional: Real-Time Transit Keys

These are optional — Transitous Free works well. Add a key only if you need the most precise real-time departure data in your city.

How to Get These Keys

Google Routes — Go to console.cloud.google.com, enable the Routes API, create a key, and restrict it to that API.

HERE Transit — Sign up at platform.here.com, create a project, generate an API key, and enable the Public Transit product.

Use the existing HUD media area for Spotify, Navidrome, Music Assistant, Apple Music, or Android media sessions. Navigation keeps running if media disconnects.

Provider

Media source Android system media Spotify Navidrome Navidrome player on this phone Music Assistant Apple Music through MusicKit Off

Media provider status appears here.

Spotify

Create a Spotify app in the Spotify dashboard. Add the redirect URI below, paste your Client ID and Client Secret here, then authorize. Spotify Premium is required for playback controls. Credentials are saved on this device through Even durable storage.

Spotify setup help

1. Open or copy the Spotify dashboard link.
2. Create an app and select Web API.
3. Add the redirect URI exactly as shown here: https://music.navigaze.org/.
4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into Navigaze settings.
5. Tap Open Spotify authorization. On G2, music.navigaze.org shows Return to Navigaze and also tries to return automatically.
6. If you are not using G2, copy the callback URL or code from music.navigaze.org and paste it here.

Manual Spotify callback

Only needed if Spotify does not return to Navigaze automatically. Paste the callback URL or code, then finish the connection.

Finish pasted callback

Navidrome

Navidrome can either mirror now-playing metadata from another Subsonic client or play a loaded track directly through the phone WebView. The G2 HUD shows the same normalized media state either way.

Navidrome setup help

1. Enter your Navidrome server URL, username, and password.
2. Leave the client name blank to use the first active playback client.
3. If more than one client is active, paste the client name shown after testing.
4. To make Navigaze the player, select Navidrome player on this phone, search below, load a track, then use the existing media gestures.
5. Use HTTPS or a trusted local network because Subsonic authentication is sent to your server.

No Navidrome track loaded

Music Assistant

Turns Navigaze into a Music Assistant Sendspin player. Add your Music Assistant server URL, an access token for proxy mode, then tap connect once to unlock phone audio.

Music Assistant setup help

1. Run Music Assistant and make sure Sendspin playback is enabled.
2. Enter the Music Assistant server URL, for example homeassistant.local:8095 or 192.168.1.10:8095.
3. Use authenticated proxy mode for /sendspin on the MA web port; paste a Music Assistant access token.
4. Use direct local mode only when the phone can reach the Sendspin port directly, usually 8927.
5. Tap Connect player once from this phone, then choose the Navigaze player inside Music Assistant.

Authenticated proxy (/sendspin) Direct local Sendspin (port 8927) Auto codec (Opus, then FLAC) Opus FLAC PCM

Apple Music through MusicKit

Requires your Apple developer-token relay. Do not put an Apple private key in Navigaze or browser storage. MusicKit may create its own web playback session instead of mirroring the native Apple Music app.

Apple Music setup help

1. Use MusicKit only when you have an Apple developer-token relay. Do not save an Apple private key in Navigaze.
2. Create a MusicKit identifier and private key in Apple Developer.
3. Generate developer tokens from a protected relay, then paste the relay URL here.
4. MusicKit may start a separate web playback session.

Privacy and credits

Spotify requests playback read and playback-control scopes only. Navidrome and Music Assistant credentials are saved on this device and sent only to the server URL you enter. Apple Music developer tokens must come from your protected relay.

Community references: spotify-g2 by Yann Rapaport, Orpheus by L3G, even-g2-spotify by Charlie Winters, and DisplayPlusMusic by Oliemanq. Unlicensed projects were studied only; their code is not copied into Navigaze.

Open a topic for the phone, map, glasses, and route controls.

HUD modes

Switch modes using the round buttons on the left side of the phone, or from the in-glasses menu.

• Drive — Speed + limit sign, turn arrow + street name, and optional media controls. Ambient shows speed and limit only.
• Moto — Same route data as Drive, optimized for a helmet visor.
• Bike — Mini-map, compass, clock, speed, weather, and turn instructions. The IG menu can start Track Ride.
• Walk — Same layout as Bike. The IG menu can start Track Run.
• Transit — Nearby departures, live countdowns, and on-vehicle stop progress.
• Minimal — Speed and speed limit only.

In-glasses menu

• Launch from glasses — opens directly into the in-glasses menu.
• Launch from phone — opens directly into the last-used HUD.
• Double-tap from the HUD — opens the in-glasses menu. Scroll to move, tap to select.
• Main menu double-tap — shows the native exit prompt.
• Submenu double-tap — goes back one menu level.
• During navigation — the active menu shows End Route, Add Stop, and Return to HUD. Double-tap returns to the main menu.

Voice search

• Voice Search uses the glasses microphone only.
• It checks Home, Work, and saved places first, then nearby places, then address search.
• Examples: Home, McDonald's, coffee, or a street address.
• Requires a Groq or Deepgram API key. Add your key in Settings to enable voice search.
• Voice Search is available from the in-glasses menu. When idle it starts a route; while navigating it adds the result as a stop.

Navigation

• Search an address, saved place, recent place, POI, dropped pin, or map link to start a route.
• Route previews show up to 3 options before you tap Start.
• Add Stop inserts a waypoint without ending active navigation.
• Faster-route banners, rerouting, and the Resume bar stay available during normal phone navigation.
• Voice guidance modes are All guidance & alerts, Alerts only, or Off.

Route planner

• Open Route Planner from the three-dot controls menu.
• Import a GPX file, add waypoints, or build from Saved Places and Recents.
• Scenic preference dots in Route Planner bias route scoring; higher values increase preference without guaranteeing a road type.
• Imported GPX routes keep their original track, tolerate GPS drift, and offer Recalculate Back to Route for a forward rejoin path.
• Waypoint 0 is always your current position; Return to start adds your current position as the final stop.
• Round trip distance and duration target the whole loop, not one leg. Scenic uses up to five internal shaping points.
• Saved route templates can be reopened, used for a similar round trip, or deleted.

Deep Beta HUD map

• Display Map is controlled by Deep Beta in Alerts & Community.
• When enabled for Drive or MotoHUD, the HUD swaps turn arrows and instruction text for a live route map.
• Turning Display Map off rebuilds the normal arrow-and-text navigation layout.

Search, pins & saved places

• Paste a Google Maps link, short maps.app.goo.gl link, or coordinates into the search box.
• Long-press the map to drop a pin. From the popup you can navigate, save it, or mark parking.
• Tap Home or Work to navigate. Long-press either chip to reassign it.
• Star any destination to save it. Tap the pencil icon to rename it.
• Opening Saved Places or Recent Places hides the keyboard so the list is easier to view.

Map controls

• Long-press drops a pin.
• Double-tap zooms in.
• Hold and drag moves the map.
• Single tap on the map dismisses open destination dropdowns.
• The orientation button toggles north-up and heading-up. Recenter locks the map back onto your position.

Pocket lock & standby

• The lock bubble starts unlocked every app launch and is not saved.
• Triple-tap the lock bubble to lock or unlock phone controls.
• While locked, controls remain visible but only the lock bubble can be used.
• Glasses-only standby hides the full map and keeps the route instruction visible — tap 👓 Standby in the bottom bar while navigating. Saves phone battery on long drives.

Transit

• Navigaze uses Transitous by default. It is free and requires no key.
• Transit ambient mode shows the nearest stop's live departure board on the glasses.
• Ring-scroll cycles through up to 4 departures and shows walk-to-stop details on the phone.
• Tap a bus stop or metro marker on the map to open a live departure board.
• Transit route planning supports multi-leg journeys with walking connections.

Exercise tracking

• Bike mode can track a ride. Walk mode can track a run or walk.
• The phone bar and glasses HUD show active time, distance, and average pace.
• Pause excludes stopped time from pace calculations.
• Finished workouts are saved automatically in Workouts.

Alerts & reporting

• The orange report bubble files police, camera, accident, hazard, or closure reports anonymously.
• When you pass an active alert, the Still there? prompt helps keep reports accurate.
• Camera markers come from OpenStreetMap and official government camera feeds.
• When media title and controls are off, the HUD uses that space only for active alerts.

Convoy

• Open Convoy from the three-dot controls menu. It is enabled by default and can be turned off in Settings.
• Create or join up to five groups with an invite link, QR, or Group ID and invite secret.
• Joining a convoy route shares your live location with that group until you leave the route.
• Group sessions and the enable switch are saved on device so they survive app restarts.
• Chat, route, and location content use encrypted peer messaging; the relay only helps riders connect.

Night mode

Auto follows sunset and sunrise. Day keeps the phone map bright. Night dims the map and switches the phone UI to a dark theme.

If the glasses are too bright at night, say "Hey Even, set brightness to 10" or adjust brightness in the Even app.

EV chargers & nearby drivers

• EV charging stations from OpenStreetMap appear as markers on the map.
• Add an Open Charge Map key under API Keys & Subscriptions for broader charger coverage.
• Nearby Navigaze users appear as opt-in anonymous green glasses icons with delayed, temporary positions.

• 1.11.173 — The glasses menu now leads with where you're going: double-tap the glasses and Voice Search, Saved Places and Recents are right at the top — say a destination and drive. Mode switching moved below them (the round button on the map is still the quickest way). Also: the phone's controls button now fans out in a tidy aligned column — settings first, then lock, audio, north-up.
• 1.11.172 — Works out of the box, and now it says so. The welcome tour is two quick cards instead of three ("Search. Start. Drive." is genuinely the whole setup — no account, no keys), and Navigaze no longer suggests anything on day one: the app proves itself for a few days of real use before Pro is ever mentioned. Bring-your-own API keys remain in Settings for tinkerers.
• 1.11.170 — The map is just a map now. The compass, audio, lock and settings buttons fold into a single controls button at the bottom right — tap it to fan them out, exactly like the mode dock. The recenter button only appears once you've panned away from your position, and the orange report button shows while you're moving or navigating — parked, it steps aside.
• 1.11.169 — A calmer map screen. The six HUD-mode buttons now fold into one — tap your current mode to fan out the full list, pick one, and it tucks away again. Tips and banners (resume route, parking, key suggestions) now take turns instead of piling up, and they wait politely until you're done with the safety notice and welcome tour.
• 1.11.166 — Clearer voice search. If your glasses microphone doesn't pick up any sound, Navigaze now tells you to check mic access and speak into your glasses — instead of a puzzling "No speech heard." Make sure the Even app has microphone permission, and speak while wearing the glasses.
• 1.11.164 — Faster, sharper glasses HUD. Navigaze now runs on Even's latest SDK, which sends images to your lens much quicker — the map, speed, and turn arrows update more responsively and read noticeably cleaner. Also: if navigation ever pauses while your phone is in the background (a call, music, or a locked screen), Navigaze now shows you how to fix it — set Even's Location to Always in iPhone Settings → Even → Location.
• 1.11.158 — More control over your route: avoid motorways and avoid ferries are now in Settings, alongside avoid tolls. And navigation is steadier on iPhone with the screen off — if the GPS stalls while the phone is locked it now recovers on its own instead of leaving the HUD frozen.
• 1.11.157 — Subscribing to Pro is dependable now: your license arrives automatically after payment even if you leave the app mid-checkout, and pasting a license key no longer gets erased before you can save it. If you were charged more than once because of this, contact help@navigaze.org and we'll make it right
• 1.11.149 — Navigaze now speaks your language: Spanish, French, German, Italian & Portuguese across the phone, glasses, and voice search (pick it in Settings, or follow your phone). Walking and biking HUDs get customizable widgets including heart rate. Android: workouts sync with Health Connect through APPS Bridge, and background GPS is more reliable
• 1.11.139 — Startup speed and connection reliability improvements
• 1.11.137 — Annual plan now available: $49.99/year, save 2 months
• 1.11.136 — Navigaze Pro launched — live traffic, speed cameras & voice search with no API keys needed; voice search now finds the right city when you're far from home
• 1.11.127 — Fixed: glasses screen was blank when opening the app
• 1.11.114 — Map stays on your glasses even when your phone screen is off
• 1.11.92 — Exercise tracking: live stats on your glasses, route map, shareable results, full workout history

No ads, analytics, or trackers. No account. Saved places, recents, settings, and API keys stay on your device only. All data requests go directly from your device to each provider — nothing passes through Navigaze servers.
