Waynote ? Why not !

Waynote is only compatible with certain roads in France, including the most important motorways such as the A7, the A8 or the A1 and the A2. New axes are added regularly by developers, as indicated in Waynote's App Store page.

The idea of ​​the app is, during a route taken by car and passing on one of these roads covered by Waynote, to offerspoken information, like an audio guide in a museum, at certain key moments of the trip.

Short messages will in fact be launched automatically when approaching a point of interest, perhaps a particular landscape, a historic site, an important monument, etc.

The app also providesautomatically triggered suggestionswhen approaching a motorway exit, to have recommendations during a break, for a restaurant for example. Moreover, everyone can freely send their comments to Waynote, in order to add information on a place bordering a particular highway in France and participate in increasing the app's database.

In any case, it is ainteresting conceptproposed here allowing you to see the road journey differently.
