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.

I joined the RSBC (formerly RLSB) in 2010, following 11 years at Guide Dogs as Director of External Affairs.
Previous to this I held the position of President of the European Guide Dog Federation and oversaw its largest research project into the needs of vision impaired people.

Prior to working in the charity sector I had successful career in international investment banking, cut short when I lost my sight at 39. The experience taught me to either be a victim of my sight loss or to do something with it. It is this thinking that has brought me to the RSBC.

While at the RSBC, I founded Waymap in 2017 - a tech business intending to revolutionise mobility for vision impaired people. Since then it has grown into much more - a business leveraging cutting-edge technology to change the way that absolutely everyone navigates smart cities.
