Waymap is a London-based startup that has developed a unique navigation app capable of guiding users indoors, outdoors, and underground with up to one-meter accuracy. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Tom Pey, the company initially focused on addressing the navigation needs of visually impaired individuals. Today, Waymap serves a diverse audience, including the general public, public transport operators, and venue managers. The Waymap app operates independently of GPS, WiFi, or mobile data, utilizing a proprietary "SmartStep" algorithm that leverages smartphone motion sensors to provide real-time, turn-by-turn directions. It is designed to enhance accessibility in complex environments like subway stations and shopping malls. Waymap also offers digital mapping services and venue licensing, allowing partners to integrate its technology into their infrastructure for improved wayfinding. With over $16.6 million in funding and a growing presence in more than 11 cities worldwide, Waymap is committed to making navigation accessible for everyone, regardless of mobility or vision status.
