NAV- Navigation Assistant

NAV – Navigation Assistant is a next-generation driving companion designed to provide tactical situational awareness and complete route autonomy. Built as a sophisticated "co-pilot," NAV moves beyond static GPS instructions to offer a real-time, multi-vector scanning experience that respects the driver’s decision-making.

Unlike traditional navigation apps that prioritize a single path, NAV analyzes and displays multiple strategic route branches simultaneously. This allows you to compare alternate paths, travel times, and distance ranges at a glance—both before and during your trip.

Core Features

Strategic Route Scanning: Live analysis of a primary "spine" route and multiple branching alternates. The map displays clear route overlays and real-time time comparisons to help you pick the best path forward.

Mission Recon Summary: A pre-navigation briefing screen providing total distance ranges, estimated duration windows, and ETA windows, ensuring you have the full "mission" details before you put the car in drive.

Adaptive Camera Intelligence: Speed-synced camera logic that automatically adjusts based on your velocity—zooming in for city maneuvers and pulling back for high-speed highway driving.

Tactical Zoom Controls: Precision manual [+] and [-] buttons allow you to override the camera at any time. A one-tap "AUTO" reset button instantly hands control back to the automated speed-based zoom logic.

Live Destination Intelligence: Banners featuring satellite street previews, business phone numbers, and a clickable website link to verify menus or hours via Safari before you arrive.

Current Location Weather: Advanced weather integration that displays current conditions for your current location directly on the Map View and Navigation Mode

ETA-Specific Weather: Advanced weather integration that displays forecasted conditions specifically for your projected time of arrival, featuring an interactive Info Icon for data transparency and policy compliance.

Dynamic Route Switching: NAV constantly monitors your position relative to all scanned paths. If you choose to take a different branch, the app automatically promotes that alternate to "active" status.

Driver-Focused HUD: A high-visibility interface featuring a live compass, heading indicator, and a speedometer that triggers a red alert at 81 MPH for safety awareness.

Voice-Guided Awareness: Text-to-speech announcements for navigation start, route summaries, and arrival, featuring professional audio-ducking for background music.

Tactical Map Mode: A non-navigation mode featuring a visual traffic layer and a live status bar (City • Street • Heading • Speed) for situational awareness during free-driving.

Manual Mission Mode: A specialized 'free-drive' state that provides real-time performance telemetry and high-speed map awareness. It now offers two display styles—Portrait or Dashboard—allowing you to maintain your preferred cockpit interface during missions.

Dashboard Mode: a high-intensity, landscape-optimized interface designed to serve as a standalone 'Command Center.' It provides a comprehensive vehicle infotainment system and now acts as an integrated hub for both turning your iPhone into an infotainment screen and Manual Mission tracking.

Integrated Address Management: Save up to 48 locations in a personal Address Book or manage a dedicated Favorites list for one-tap navigation to frequent stops.

Post-Mission Summary: Experience a complete debrief upon arrival with a dedicated popup that displays your total mission duration, average speed, top speed, and actual distance traveled, now featuring an interactive route recap map with start, destination, and top speed markers for instant closure on every journey.

Continuous Path Visualization: A new real-time breadcrumb system that bridges the gap between where you’ve been and where you’re going. By rendering a unified blue path behind the vehicle, NAV provides a seamless, unbroken visual history of your entire journey.
