Yango Maps: New Navigation App To Rival Waze And Google Maps Launches In Dubai

Online maps have become a thing now with new roads and buildings always popping up in Dubai.

Drivers fed up with using Waze and Google Maps now have the chance to download a newcomer to the navigation app market due to the launch of Yango Maps.

Free to download and available in English and Arabic, creators claim that users can plan fast and convenient routes for driving, walking, or public transport.

Yango Maps hopes to stand out from the crowd with its highly detailed maps that include 3D models of landmarks such as Burj Khalifa, Museum of the Future and Dubai Frame.

The app offers a true-to-life depiction of Dubai, with roads, buildings, underground crossings, and even some natural elements, like trees, visible.

Users can follow routes over 3,000km of roads in Dubai that have been mapped out in high detail, reflecting lane markings, multi-level interchanges, tunnels, traffic lights and parking spots.

The app also introduces an adaptive view of the route, which highlights important details of the road up ahead and zooms in on complicated turns for safer, well-informed driving.

Another perk of using the app is that real-time traffic updates and speed limit alerts are voiced in advance.

Passenger can also use the app to book journeys with the Yango ride-hailing service.

Alexander Baksheev, CEO of Yango Maps, said: “We’re excited to launch Yango Maps in Dubai and invite everyone to enjoy a new seamless navigation experience in the city. We make sure to keep Yango Maps up to date to provide an accurate, hassle-free navigation experience. To put it into perspective, we add roughly three million updates to the map every month.

“New businesses, roads, speed cameras, and interchanges go live in Yango Maps shortly after they appear in the real world, which is especially important for constantly changing, innovative cities like Dubai.”
