WanderWay Navigation

WanderWay 2.1.1 lets you add a stop without ending your drive, keeps your own places a tap away, and now speaks Italian. ADD A STOP • While navigating, tap the search button in the guidance controls to find any place: a nearby sight, one of My Places, a recent, a favorite, or anything on Apple Maps. Results show how many minutes each one adds. • Tap Add Stop to make it your next stop, or Add at Best Spot to fit it in after a stop you already planned. Guidance carries on while the new route is built, then tells you the place was added. • Go Here Now replaces your route, and asks you first. • In CarPlay, Add a Stop is at the top of the Route list while you navigate, with search, voice search, My Places and favorites. MY PLACES • Save Home, Work and up to four places of your own in Where to?, and start a drive to any of them with one tap, in CarPlay too. • Or say "Take me home with WanderWay" to Siri. WHAT DID I JUST PASS? • While you drive, tap the button on the map or Just Passed in CarPlay, or ask Siri "What did I just pass in WanderWay?", to hear about the place you just drove by. BETTER VOICES • Choose iPhone Voice in Settings to hear the voice you picked in Read & Speak for directions. • Get a Better Voice, in Settings, shows you how to download an Enhanced or Premium voice. SCENIC DETOURS & SUNDAY DRIVES • Spend up to 40 extra minutes on a detour, and WanderWay picks up to four sights along your way. • A curated drive to a nearby destination now uses the time you pick, and wanders as far as your Stay Within setting allows. NOW IN ITALIAN & MADE FOR IPAD • WanderWay speaks Italian, from its menus to spoken directions and Siri. • On iPad, WanderWay fills the screen in any orientation, with the map edge to edge. ROAD TRIP JOURNAL & PASSPORT • The stops you plan and your destination now count as visited when you reach them. • Covered bridges, overlooks, parks and other places you see from the road or reach by a parking lot now count from farther away when you slow down or stop near them. Passing at highway speed doesn't count. • Parking in a stop's lot now counts as arriving, without a reroute. PLACES & MAP • The categories menu stays open while you choose, so you can Hide All, then pick a few. • A new report reason: "Place doesn't exist." FIXES • Fixed a crash when CarPlay disconnected the instrument cluster map. • More reliable guidance when you add or change stops during a drive. • Scenic Detours no longer suggest a detour that's shorter than your planned route. • If directions get stuck on a turn, WanderWay reroutes within 10 seconds.

WanderWay 2.0 brings more to discover on every drive: stories about the places you pass, scenic detours, a journal of your drives, and a fresh new look. STORY MODE • Hear a short story about places as you approach them. Turn it on in Settings › Points of Interest › Narration Length › Story. • With Apple Intelligence, stories are written on your iPhone from the place's description. Other iPhone models read a shortened description. • On a place page, tap "Listen to the story" to hear it right away. NARRATE WITHOUT A ROUTE • No destination? Turn on Settings › Points of Interest › Narrate Without a Route, open WanderWay, and drive. Nearby places, and their stories, are spoken as you pass. It keeps going with your iPhone locked and stops when you park. SCENIC DETOURS • Planning a route or a Sunday Drive? Tap "Make this drive more scenic" and choose +10, +20, or +30 minutes. • WanderWay picks up to three sights along your way, favoring covered bridges, viewpoints, historic sites, and US scenic byways. You see the extra time and new route on a map before adding them. • Generated drives and detours skip churches unless you prioritize Historic Worship. ROAD TRIP JOURNAL • Each drive you navigate is saved with the roads you drove, its distance and time, the places you passed, and the states or provinces it crossed. • Show the photos you took along the way on the drive's page. They stay in your photo library. • Share Drive turns any drive into a picture card with its route map, stats, and places. PASSPORT • Collect stamps for covered bridges, museums, viewpoints, and 12 more kinds of places. • Track milestones for drives, miles, places passed, and states and provinces. • A new Passport widget shows your progress and next milestone on the Home Screen. A FRESH NEW LOOK • New colors, map pins, and place pages, in light and dark. • Busy maps stay readable: pins spread out, and a "+N" count marks spots with more places. Tap it to zoom in. • Route previews no longer hide under the route bar. • Curated Routes, the Library, Settings, and the Nearby panel are redesigned. • The category button is back at the top of the map: show or hide kinds of places in one tap. ON THE ROAD • The Lock Screen and the expanded Dynamic Island now show the next place ahead and how far away it is. • Spoken directions keep playing while Music or another app is on the CarPlay screen, or your iPhone is locked. • During a phone call you hear only short turn prompts, and nothing while Siri is listening. CARPLAY • A WanderWay map card on CarPlay Dashboard, with Nearby Sights and Where to? shortcuts. • A map and turn details in the instrument cluster, in cars that support it. • In the Route list, tap Show Route Overview to see the whole route, or what's ahead while driving. • If the car's built-in navigation takes over, tap Resume (or Resume Trip on CarPlay Dashboard) to carry on. • Tap a nearby place and choose Hear the Story. • On long tours, More Stops keeps every stop and your destination in reach. • Drives started in CarPlay announce nearby places and count toward your Journal and Passport, even without opening the iPhone app. PLACES • A new report reason: "Pin is in the wrong spot." Reports now work for National Register and Recreation.gov places too. FIXES • Starting a drive on your iPhone while a CarPlay list is open no longer closes WanderWay on the car screen. • Guidance no longer stalls after a pause in location updates, or goes quiet for the rest of a drive after an audio interruption. • The CarPlay arrival time now updates while you're stopped in traffic. • Places without a photo of their own no longer show a photo of a nearby building. • Mute in CarPlay now stays muted when you open WanderWay on your iPhone. • CarPlay turn distances are rounded, like "300 ft". Stories while you drive, narration without a route, and Scenic Detours are part of the unlock and included in the 14-day free trial. Already unlocked or bought WanderWay? They're yours.
