WanderWay is navigation for everyday drives, scenic trips, and walks. It finds covered bridges, overlooks, and historic places along the way, then guides you there on iPhone and CarPlay. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. Built by Derek Boyer, a solo developer in southern Ohio, and inspired by my wife Jordan's wish for an app that reveals the history and beauty along everyday routes.

STORIES AND DETOURS

ON THE ROAD

• Places you've loaded refresh in the background once they're a week old.

• Journal and Passport: every drive and walk saved, with stamps, milestones, and a Home Screen widget

WanderWay 2.3 keeps the stories going and makes every drive easier to share.
• Narrate in the background: Turn on Keep Narrating in the Background and WanderWay watches for your next drive, even with your phone locked. On iPhone, a Live Activity shows what's being told, with a Stop button.
• Share your Photo Recap: See a drive as a summary, a timeline and your photos, then share it as a picture or a short video. Hide places leaves out names and the map.
• Open in your maps app: Send a route or place to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze, or share a route as a GPX file.
• Opening hours: More historic places in the US now show when they're open.
• A brighter map: New pin colors, a star for featured places, one bar for search, filters and radius, and route chips with distance, time and stops. Richer panels in Dark Mode.
• Easier choices: All, Drive-By and None category presets with Save as My Default, and a tap to widen the search when nothing's nearby.
• Passport stamps in each category's color, and a route map on every Journal trip.
• Crash reports: Send one from Settings. No locations, and it leaves your phone only when you send it.
• Regional voices for Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
• Smoother driving map: The map glides as it follows you, like Apple Maps, even with Nearby pulled up. The route card is shorter and centered, so you see more of the road.
• CarPlay arrival weather: A small weather chip sits just above the arrival time, a weather line appears under your next turn, and a trip preview shows the weather at arrival before you tap Start.
• CarPlay pins group like on iPhone: Pins that are close together merge into one pin with a count, and more pins appear on the map overall.
• Fixes: playgrounds inside parks no longer appear twice, Cancel in the drive builder is never covered, tapping the Live Activity opens WanderWay, and scenic byways appear only in the US, where they're mapped.
