The Likeways navigation App, get to your destination, discover interesting places along the way while easily altering your route. Share liked locations.
2. Our purpose
Our purpose is to help users of navigation apps become urban
explorers.
Its not only about when you get there, it’s how you get there!
Likeways on the app store
3. Problem
…for business owners:
current navigation apps do
almost nothing to help
businesses off the beaten
path generate more traffic.
…for walkers:
current navigation apps
often suggest dull routes
with users missing out on
great stops along the way.

4. Solution
Likeways solves both of these issues:
• by suggesting routes that lets users explore interesting
part of the city they might not otherwise discover, while
• at the same time, drawing customers to businesses not
on, or just off, busy routes stimulating local commerce
combining social, mobile, local.

6. Use Case
• Our user is a Baby Boomer visiting London and wants to visit the V&A Museum but also
would like some Thai food, a grocery store and a pub for a quick pint along his way.
• He starts Likeways, makes his selection (1.) and receives a route (2.) into areas he is
most likely to find what he looks for along his walk.
• By walking via backroads, he discovers more gems along the way! (that he can share
with friends & family)
