Drivers, the moment has finally come and the NATIX navigation system (beta) is now available in the Drive& app. This is only the beginning of a new era of navigation, and as the NATIX Network grows after the DePIN Crypto token release, so will the possibilities and features added to the drive& app.

We’re extremely excited about the navigation system as it will become an integral part of the Drive& app, adding utility to the app to attract more drivers. Through our partnership with Mapbox, we can offer a navigation service similar to Waze and Google Maps, and the data generated by the NATIX Network can be used for improved navigation and power new features.

Let’s break it down:

Like traditional navigation applications, Drive& users can search for addresses and businesses worldwide. The navigation system offers multiple route options and calculates the estimated arrival time. In the future, these features might be upgraded with additional route options and better ETA estimations.

The GPS Navigation provides turn-by-turn directions with voice guidance and includes speed limit warnings. Please note that the current navigation system version indicates the speed limit, but does not alert drivers when crossing it. In the future speed limit data could be enriched by NATIX Network, until then please stay vigilant as speed limits may vary.

The dashcam features we’ve all grown to know and love about Drive& are all available while using navigation, and event detections will still operate in the back. Camera display can be turned on or off while using navigation as well, however using both functions at once consumes additional energy.

As mentioned, navigation is now live for all users to enjoy, but this is only the beginning. The navigation system is in beta, and might not operate as expected in some situations. We ask that you share your experience and report any issues or bugs you might encounter, and we value your patience as the NATIX team works to resolve them.

In the future, users can expect many new integrations and features to be added to the navigation system, which will go hand in hand with network growth and map coverage. From leveraging AI to automatically perform basic functions, to leveraging Drive&’s gamification capabilities to mobilize network contributors and enrich the app’s data collection, the future for NATIX navigation is bright.

We want to thank every single driver for supporting us and together we can bring a new era of DePIN and Web3-powered navigation and driving assistant features.
