Tourist Navigation App for 28 Cities

CityNav is a tourist navigation app for 28 cities. Walking and driving navigation are free. Paid Trip Passes add downloadable city transit information, AR walking directions, live transit information, CityNav AI and SOS emergency alerts. Download city information while connected before relying on it offline; live departures, AI, sharing and SOS transmission need an internet connection. Browse the city guides or check current Trip Pass options.

The problems CityNav solves for travellers

  • Know the city — Use supported transit guides, station information and AR walking directions for the final stretch. Live departure times require internet.
  • Core guidance without data — Premium downloaded city maps, transit information and supported saved guidance can be used offline after download; live services need a connection.
