Yango, the ride hailing company is testing a new app called “Yango Maps” in Ghana.
The Yango Maps app is intended for navigating in the city of Accra.
The app is capable of searching for locations, getting photo previews of locations, real-time traffic forecasts and an offline mode. Users will also be able to contribute to the map by adding places of interest.
Yango Maps For Drivers
Yango Maps, like Google Maps, offers voice navigation prompts with directions for turns, speed limits, accidents, and roadworks, faster route recommendations, and offline maps for easy navigation.
Yango Maps also shows office locations, shops and places of interest with contact information, working hours, list of services, photos, visitor reviews, and more.
Integration with the Yango App
Users can order a Yango ride directly from the app, switching between map, satellite, or hybrid map types depending on the situation.
“We are excited to bring the new product to the market of Ghana. Yango technologies excel in route building which helps our navigator to build the most convenient and to-the-point routes, and adjust them, even when the user is already on the move. With an enhanced option allowing us to receive direct feedback and guidance from local audience, we target to make the in-app database domestically-based and truly definitive” – said Adeniyi Adebayo, Yango’s Head of Africa.
