Proposal 5: Special route

On the roads, users report places where police patrols most often station, where average speed measurement sections are located, and where speed cameras are located. Based on these reports, after selecting the "SPECIAL ROUTE" option in the navigation, a special route will be created designed to avoid these critical points. The route may sometimes be longer, but it would not direct the driver onto roads that pass through such locations.

Proposal 6: Road activity

This feature turns navigation from a reporting tool into an intelligent real-time risk assessment system that also helps drivers during police checks. You turn on the "other users on the road" option. The navigation shows the density of active drivers (e.g., red dots), exact positions of people currently using our navigation. The range for seeing other users is within a radius of up to 2 km. Using your navigation, I can count on quick alerts – for example, a police patrol, accident, and so on. When the navigation shows me that there are few or no participants on the road, I know I need to increase my vigilance. The data is anonymous – I only see the number of active drivers within a 2 km radius. The navigation would have an "invisible" option – it would not display the user on the road as a red dot but would allow them to use the app without affecting the statistics visible to others. I then know that there is some user, but they don't want to appear as a point on the map. After turning on this mode, the app informs you immediately after startup that there are, for example, 10 active drivers, including 1 invisible. In my opinion, this is a super feature – it should be mandatory in every navigation app. If your navigation were the only one on the market, there would be no problem, but drivers use different navigation apps, mostly Yanosik and Google Maps. The Waze navigation app has such an option, but the app itself seems to have stopped being developed because there are many map errors, making it troublesome to use.

Proposal 7: Convoy mode

You invite friends to join you, or they invite you to join them. You create a group of cars, for example up to 10 cars. You see them on the map, and your friends see you. You travel in your own cars to a common destination, and every so often the navigation says: "Vehicle V1 is 100 m behind you, vehicle V2 is 1 km behind you, vehicle V3 is 10 m behind you." The navigation could give voice announcements at times when the road is straight and it wouldn't conflict with other navigation instructions. In the navigation, you can set how often (in seconds or minutes) such a voice report appears. The navigation also informs you if a vehicle has left the planned route or if a vehicle has stopped. On the route, vehicles would be labelled V1, V2, V3, with colours to choose from. This is a great option when you are going somewhere together on a trip.

Proposal 8: Security guard mode

It has just one option: creating a customer database in the navigation with the ability to save it to a file, and later upload it back into the navigation in case of phone damage or phone reinstallation.

I'll give an example: A group of security guards receives a call from the commander that an alarm has gone off at facility "X" and they need to go there. A new employee has been hired but has no idea where the facility is, but somehow they manage to find the place. They save the route in our navigation, thus creating a customer database, with the ability to write and attach notes and various information. Each response trip makes their job easier. Later, they can export such a customer database with access routes to a file. When an employee wants to leave the job, they can "pass" this file to their successor, making the colleague's job easier. Such a file can be loaded into the navigation. Remembering a database containing, say, 250 protected facilities is quite a feat, even for a young driver. Please consider how much work you could relieve someone by creating such an option.
