Navigation you listen to.
Tellway speaks your directions in a recorded voice. There is no map on the screen while you drive. Type where you are going, put the phone in its holder, and listen.
Coming soon on iPhone.
What it does.
Everything on this page is in the first release.
Type it once.
Search for a place or a full UK postcode, or pick Home, Work or a recent trip. A postcode typed in full comes first. With an offline area downloaded, routes are worked out on the phone.
What it checked, before you go.
The preview gives the distance and arrival time, and says whether there are reported incidents on National Highways’ roads in England along the way. Set an arrival time and it tells you when to leave. Arrive by needs a connection.
The screen rests. The voice carries on.
At the start the controls are lit: Quiet, Repeat that, What’s ahead, Screen rests, End drive. After a few seconds the screen rests and shows only the next direction and your arrival time. Tap to bring the controls back. Hold to speak for short requests: what is ahead, repeat that, mute, or to report a closed road or roadworks. If traffic slows, it may ask “Slow here. Is it a queue?” and listen for five seconds for your answer, at most three times a drive, on phones that recognise speech on the device. Nothing is recorded or sent.
A simple picture of the junction ahead.
For roundabouts and motorway exits, a simple picture, not to scale, shows which exit to take while the voice says it.

- Which phones?
- iPhone and Android phones.
