To enrich the city exploration experience by integrating Wikipedia's "Near Me" feature, utilizing its API to fetch articles based on the user's location. This will provide users with informative content about nearby landmarks, historical sites, and points of interest directly within the app.

Enhance the app's interactivity and personalization by introducing a "Magic Tab" gesture—double-tapping with two fingers on the screen during routing—to allow users to define and trigger customizable actions.

Users often need different types of assistance while navigating, depending on their immediate context or preference. A customizable gesture that triggers user-defined actions can significantly enhance the navigation experience by providing quick access to frequently used features without navigating through menus.

Customizable Actions: Users can assign one of several actions to the Magic Tab gesture, including but not limited to:

• Orientation Mode: Switch the navigation to a "wordy" mode, offering detailed verbal guidance to help the user return to their intended path or continue navigation with enhanced instructions.
• Compass Mode to Final Target: Toggle navigation display to a compass mode that points directly towards the final destination, providing a sense of direction beyond the immediate route.
• Compass Mode to Next Waypoint: Switch to a compass mode focused on guiding the user to the next waypoint, useful for complex routes or off-track scenarios.
• Future Actions: Allow for additional actions to be defined and implemented, providing a framework for extending functionality based on user feedback and app evolution.

To enhance the app's flexibility and user convenience by enabling ad-hoc routing and the ability to enter addresses directly for navigation without the necessity to store them as favorites.

Update routing guidance to announce progress every 100 meters and provide a precise announcement 10 meters before reaching the next waypoint or direction change. This improvement aims to offer users more detailed spatial awareness and preparation for upcoming navigation actions.

Add functionality to announce current street names during routing guidance. This feature will aid orientation and allow users to seek further navigational assistance from pedestrians by knowing their exact location

Currently, the app announces compass directions every 10°. This frequent announcement can be overwhelming and unnecessary for the user, potentially leading to confusion or distraction during navigation. To improve user experience and focus on essential information, we propose adjusting the compass feature to announce directions less frequently, specifically every 20-40°.

This change aims to streamline the information provided to the user, making the navigation experience smoother and less cluttered. Implementing a more selective announcement frequency will help users concentrate on critical navigation cues without being overloaded by too many details.
