Cutting edge user-friendly functionality is a paramount feature of Wayfinder Navigator where on top of the map application, users also benefit from voice guided turn-by-turn navigation. Available in 15 languages, with 2 native speakers per language, Wayfinder Navigator has impressive routing capabilities ensuring fast and reliable route calculation giving precise directions on the fastest or shortest way to travel.
