About WayMap

At Waymap, our mission is clear: we offer accessible navigation for all. Indoors. Outdoors. Even deep underground.

With our world-beating step-based location technology, we plan to make every city in the world more accessible for everyone.

What we do

Waymap provides the world’s only navigation app that guides you both indoors and outdoors. Our app is accurate up to 1m (and 10 degrees heading), with no external signals required.

With our app on your phone, you can explore the city, catch your bus, or go right to the aisle you want at the store.

Waymap is a high-technology business that was founded to address the navigation needs of visually impaired persons. Since then, however, we have expanded our vision to provide the world's most accurate and inclusive navigation app, driven by cutting-edge technology.

Installed across a city’s transport network, streets and major buildings, our app gives step-by-step guidance as soon as you step out your door. It works anywhere we have a map.

Who We Are

Waymap was founded in 2017 by Dr Tom Pey. Following a successful career as an investment banker, professional dancer and academic researcher, Tom lost his vision at 39. He realised that he could either let his disability limit his life, or use it to fuel his desire to make change. Formerly the CEO of the Royal Society for Blind Children, and a Director at Guidedogs, Tom teamed up with world-leading mathematicians and technologists to create the world’s most precise indoor, outdoor and underground navigation app.

Waymap was born out of a conversation Tom had with a blind young woman, who shared with him that she had recently been on a date. It had gone well, aside from the fact her and her date had been chaperoned around the tube station. This had ‘ruined the atmosphere’: she ‘just wanted to be able to get around the Underground like everyone else!'.
