See [Version 2 of this page](https://help.mywayroute.com/v2/guides/understand-navigation-settings). {% endhint %} ## Navigate to a stop MyWay works with many navigation apps, like Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Organic Maps and HERE WeGo. To get directions to a stop, build your route and start it. The current stop has a **Go** button with an arrow icon: tap it, and MyWay passes the stop to your navigation app.

For more options, tap **…** next to **Go** (or touch and hold a stop and choose **Navigate**) to open Navigation to Stop. There you can: * choose how to navigate: **By GPS Coordinates** or **By Address** (see [below](#navigation-types-coordinates-or-address)); * choose the navigation app; * tap **Navigate to Stop** to navigate to this stop; * tap **Navigate through** to pass several stops at once (see [below](#navigate-through-several-stops)). ### Navigate through several stops Apple Maps and Google Maps can take up to 10 of your remaining stops at once. In Navigation to Stop, the **Navigate through** button shows the numbers of the first and the last stop it will pass. Other navigation apps take one stop at a time, so MyWay doesn't show this button for them. {% hint style="warning" %} A navigation app builds its own route through these stops. It doesn't know your time windows, priorities, [vehicle type](/guides/understand-vehicle-settings.md) or [road restrictions](/guides/understand-route-settings.md#road-restrictions), so check that it follows the order you planned. {% endhint %} ## Navigation apps MyWay supports Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, HERE WeGo, Organic Maps, MAPS.ME, Yandex Maps and Sygic. That's more navigation app integrations than most route planners on the market. To choose your default navigation app, open the menu (☰, top right) and tap **Preferences** > **Navigation App**. Apps that aren't installed on your iPhone have a download button that opens the App Store. If the app you chose is removed from your iPhone, MyWay opens Apple Maps instead. There are hundreds of navigation apps worldwide, and it's not possible to support every single one directly. If you prefer a different app, open Navigation to Stop and tap the coordinates under **By GPS Coordinates** to copy them, then paste them into the navigation app of your choice. This way, you can use virtually any navigation app with MyWay.

## Navigation types: coordinates or address MyWay can pass a stop to your navigation app in two ways: by GPS coordinates or by address. This choice affects how accurately the navigation app finds your stop. Change it for one stop in Navigation to Stop, or set the default in **Preferences** > **Navigation Precision**. In the same Navigation section of **Preferences**, you can also choose the **Distance Unit** (miles or kilometers). ### Navigation by GPS coordinates This is the default, and it's usually more precise: MyWay passes the stop's GPS coordinates to the navigation app as the destination. ### Navigation by address MyWay passes the stop's address, and the navigation app looks for this address in its own database, so the result can be less accurate. Still, navigation by address might work better if your stop is in a high-density area or your navigation app can't build a route to your stop. If the address has no house number, MyWay passes the coordinates instead. {% hint style="info" %} Organic Maps, MAPS.ME, Yandex Maps and Sygic always navigate by coordinates. Waze searches for the address near the stop's coordinates. Some navigation apps search for the address near your location, so they might find a very similar address that is closer to you and, in some cases, send you to the wrong place. It's infrequent, but we feel like you need to know. {% endhint %} ## Live Activity While you're on a route, MyWay shows the current stop on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: its address, arrival time, buttons to complete it, and **Call** if the stop has a phone number. **Done** completes the stop right from the Lock Screen. With [Proof of Delivery](/guides/proof-of-delivery.md) on, you see **Success** and **Failed** instead; they open MyWay so you can add the proof. To manage it, open the menu (☰, top right) and tap **Preferences**. The Live Activity section has two settings: * **Show Live Activity**: turns the Live Activity on or off. * **Auto-Navigate to Next Stop**: when you complete a stop from the Live Activity, directions to the next one open in your navigation app. {% hint style="info" %} Live Activity is available on iPhone. If you don't see it, check that Live Activities for MyWay are turned on in iOS Settings > MyWay. {% endhint %} ## Show on Map To look at a stop in your navigation app without starting navigation, open the stop details and tap the round button next to the address (**Show on Map**). It's handy when you want to see the place, a photo of your destination or Street View. Touch and hold this button to choose another app just this time.
