Increase operational efficiency with in-app navigation
Own the end-to-end nav experience
By: Bersabel Tadesse
Add navigation directly within your app using the Navigation SDKs for iOS and Android. This provides a single solution for dispatch and navigation in-app, improving end-to-end efficiency and keeping drivers’ hands and eyes free to focus on the road.
When ride share drivers use a third-party app for navigation, they aren’t able to receive dispatching updates in-app, like alerts to pickup another passenger or dynamic routing through areas that contain additional demand. Because the dispatching app and navigation app operate in isolation, the drivers’ only way to receive updates is through push notifications. This obscures the navigation screen and forces drivers to continually switch back-and-forth between apps.
For on-demand companies doing tens of thousands of trips a day, a few wasted seconds per trip switching between apps quickly adds up to tens of hours of lost time each day. Wasted time results in fewer trips and fewer passengers, and at scale, that can add up to millions of dollars of lost revenue a year.
Our Navigation SDKs include professionally-designed maps for navigation and user interface templates optimized for driver safety and efficiency — only the most important information is surfaced to drivers at the right time. We’ve also upgraded our voice guidance in both our iOS and Android Navigation SDKs to Amazon Polly. Prototype a driver app in minutes with beautiful maps, real-time traffic, and turn-by-turn directions.
You can fully customize the map style, UI, and other interactions like voice instructions and language. Incorporate your own data, dashboards, and workflows. Change the map on the fly based on live weather or pass instructions to the driver as they encounter geofenced areas. Everything from the routing profile to each individual map layer can be tailored to your specific use case.
Get started with our Navigation SDKs and add navigation to your app in 10 minutes.
