Next-Generation Navigation.
GaPeS is a modern navigation system for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. We are building it for clarity, accuracy, smart route guidance and comfort on every journey.
In development – internal testing
One navigation for every journey
Driving, cycling and walking follow different rules. GaPeS plans and shows each kind of trip in its own way.
Navigation for drivers
- Clear 2D and 3D map views with buildings.
- Junctions and roundabouts zoom in early so you know where to go.
- Guidance into the correct lane.
- Spoken turn-by-turn instructions.
- Speed limits – we only show the ones we can verify.
- Alerts for speed cameras, average-speed sections and road hazards where local rules allow them.
Navigation for cyclists
- Routes suited to riding a bike.
- A clear view of cycle paths and rideable roads.
- Voice and visual guidance you don't have to watch all the time.
Cycling mode is still in development in the app. We will add screenshots once it is ready to show.
Navigation for pedestrians
- Walking routes along pavements, crossings, parks and trails.
- Clear guidance through cities and the countryside.
- Simple, easy-to-follow instructions.
A map that adapts to day and night
Drag the slider to compare day and night mode at the same place. Both are drawn by our app, not illustrated.
- A modern map style
- Our own map style with buildings, crossings and readable street names.
- Smooth position arrow
- Your position arrow moves smoothly and stays on the road you are driving.
- Controls your way
- Set up the controls and voice the way you like them.
- Day and night mode
- The map switches with the time of day so it never dazzles you at night.
- Regularly updated data
- We refresh the available map and traffic information regularly, and never present unverified data as certain.
About the project
GaPeS is being built in the Czech Republic. Our goal is a navigation app that is modern, high-quality and intuitive, and that makes getting around by car, by bike and on foot easier.
We start where navigation most often lets people down: complex junctions, roundabouts and places where the right lane matters. Every feature is tried on real drives and refined based on what actually helps on the road.
Our maps are built on open OpenStreetMap data, enhanced with our own processing. We are extending coverage country by country. Where we cannot verify information yet, we would rather not show it.
GaPeS Founders
