Navia builds guided, location-aware journeys: tours, quests and routes that unfold as people move through a place.
The challenge
Most tours are static PDFs or apps that ignore where the visitor actually is, so experiences feel generic.
Our approach
We built a map-first experience engine where creators drop stops, stories and challenges on a map and visitors unlock them by location.
The outcome
A flexible platform for tours, scavenger-style quests and travel guides that works on the phone people already carry.
Technical highlights
- Geofencing to trigger content as visitors reach each stop
- Offline-friendly route caching for poor signal areas
- Creator tools for building routes on an interactive map
- Geospatial queries for nearby experiences
