Roam — turn-by-turn navigation (drive or walk) and going to any address
Roam navigates you to a place right inside Turtini — full turn-by-turn directions for driving or walking, no hopping out to another maps app. You can navigate to anything you find nearby, anything you've saved, or any address you type in.
Driving uses live traffic, so your arrival time reflects current road conditions — not a best-case estimate. Walking and biking use real path routing.
See all the steps: while navigating on a phone, swipe up the "Directions" panel at the bottom for the full step-by-step list (your current step highlighted), and swipe it back down to return to the map.
Go to an address:
• On the Nearby tab there's a "Go to an address" box at the top. Type any address or place name (add a city, state, or ZIP if it's ambiguous) and tap Go.
• Turtini finds it and shows the spot, with three ways to head there: Drive, Walk, or Quick walk (compass). There's also an "Open in Maps" link if you'd rather use your phone's maps app.
Drive or Walk (full turn-by-turn):
• Tap Drive or Walk and a navigation screen takes over: a map that follows you as you move, a banner with the next maneuver ("In 400 ft, turn right onto Main St"), and your remaining distance and arrival time.
• Spoken guidance reads each turn aloud as you approach it, so you can keep your eyes on the road or the sidewalk.
• If you go off-route, Roam notices and quietly re-routes from where you actually are.
• When you're within about 25 m of the destination it announces "You've arrived." Tap to close navigation any time.
Quick walk (compass):
• For a short hop, "Quick walk" is the signature glance-down compass — a single arrow pointing toward the destination with the distance, no map needed. The "Go" / Walk button on any place card uses this by default.
Good to know:
• Navigation uses your device's live GPS position — the same one-time location permission Roam already asks for on the Nearby tab. Nothing is requested on app load.
• Driving and walking routes are real road routes (not just a straight line). Voice guidance uses your browser's built-in speech, so it works without any extra setup.
• It works the same on a phone, tablet, or computer, though it's most useful on a phone you're carrying with you.
