xMap
Speed limits for each road segment
xMap matches your position to the exact stretch of road you are on and shows the limit for that stretch, not one number for the whole route.
Driver-assistance app
What's the speed limit right here? xMap tells you.
xMap works out which road you are on, shows the speed limit for that exact stretch, and speaks up when you go over it or get close to a camera. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel.
COMING SOON TOGoogle Play
COMING SOON TOApp Store
The Android and iOS versions are being finished. Download links will appear here once the app reaches the stores.
Features
What xMap does for you on the road
Only what you actually need while driving. No ads covering the map.
Spoken alerts
When you go over the limit, approach a change in limit or get close to a camera, the app says it out loud so you do not have to look down at the screen.
Camera alerts
See where the cameras are along your route ahead of time, so you can hold a steady speed instead of braking hard at the last moment.
Sign recognition on your phone
Your phone's camera recognises road signs right on the device. Full-frame photos never leave your phone.
A map built by the community
Signs you photograph are reviewed by our team before anyone else sees them. Every contribution brings the data closer to the signs on the actual road.
Personal points and favourite places
Pin the places you visit often or need to remember, and start directions to them with a single tap.
Real screenshots
A stretch of Xa lộ Hà Nội, seen through xMap
Captured straight from the app, not recreated with graphics.
The screenshots come from a test build running on an Android emulator, with a simulated GPS route along Xa lộ Hà Nội (Hanoi Highway) in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City. The interface shown is in Vietnamese. The release version may look slightly different.
How it works
Open the app, mount your phone, and drive
Find your road
From GPS and your direction of travel, xMap works out which road segment you are on.
Look up the limit
The app takes that segment's limit from reviewed road signs and the road type, then shows it right on the driving screen.
Alert at the right moment
When you go over the limit, a change in limit is coming or a camera is close, xMap warns you with sounds and voice.
Q&A
Frequently asked questions
How is xMap different from Google Maps?
xMap focuses on driving safety: speed limits for each road segment, speeding alerts, road signs and the cameras ahead, rather than only finding a route from A to B. You still drive your usual route, but you get timely reminders about what is happening right in front of you.
Why is there sometimes no speed limit?
Speed data comes from OpenStreetMap combined with community contributions, so some road segments do not have a limit yet. In that case xMap does not guess; it leaves the limit blank to avoid a wrong alert. You can help by photographing signs when you pass those segments.
Do alerts work without a connection?
Yes. Road and sign data around the area you are driving in is cached on your phone, so speed and camera alerts keep working when you lose signal. Only new map areas (parts not yet downloaded) need a connection to download.
How is the data I contribute used?
Sign photos you send are reviewed before they take effect. Once approved, a sign helps update the speed limit and alerts for everyone on the same road segment. We use the data only to improve the map.
Does xMap use a lot of battery?
xMap uses GPS and keeps the screen on while navigating, so it does use battery, about the same as other map apps. For long trips, plug in a charger so your phone stays ready.
How do I contribute a sign?
Open Sign detection and point the camera at a sign by the road; the app recognises it and sends it after you confirm. The data goes through review before it is shown to other users.
Privacy
Your data, explained up front
We write our policy to match exactly what the app does. Here are the key points.
Read the full policy →- Location is used only while the app is open. xMap does not track your location in the background and does not make your location public.
- Full-frame photos are not uploaded. When you contribute a sign, the app sends only a small cropped image of the sign plus its coordinates, for review.
- We do not sell personal data. Data goes only to the technical services the app needs to run, such as the base map and crash reporting.
- Delete your account at any time. In Settings, or email [email protected] if you use the app without signing in.
Coming soon
xMap is coming to Android and iPhone
We are testing on real roads so the speed limit figures can be trusted before release. Check back here for the download links.
