How Nexit gives African road users better mobile mapping alternative with launch on Android, iOS

A better mobile navigational alternative, may have come to African road users today as revolutionary mobile mapping application, NEXIT makes its way into Android and iOS platforms today.

The app has been  transforming travel experiences for American road users since 2019.

But now, it’s the turn of Africa, as it specifically debuts on Android and iOS globally.

The alternative traveling tool has responded to the yearning of African road users who demanded that Africans deserve to enjoy the ease of movement  the tool gives to their US counterparts.

Nexit is the world’s first fully customizable navigation app designed for the ultimate travel experience.

CEO of Nexit, Mr Randy Carpentar  said the brains behind the app went into the critical details of mapping resources, to provide landmark technology blueprints that sit mobile maps at the core base of today’s travel needs.

The app provides customized integrated trip information and preferences. It maximizes advertising revenue by showing targeted, relevant advert exposures. It also enables multiple search inquiries simultaneously at the same exit while showing upcoming exits as the user drives.

These innovations are only found in the NEXIT mapping app.

The app could probably be best described as an idea born to change the equation and give the existing  mapping giants like Google, Apple among others a run for their money.

Unique discovery

Nexit is a unique discovery on the strength of its ability, as an intuitive road-trip app to predict where the user is going and shows him or her, what is at each exit.

The app is equivalent to the highway-driving co-pilot every road user always wanted; only that this time around, it is deployed right there on the user’s mobile device.

Turn-by-turn voice and visual directions will guide the user to any stop he may select, while incorporating up-to-date traffic information for fastest movement.

The intelligent app only shows the user places along his or her route, to ensure the user never doubles back or drives too far off the highway.

On these strengths, it is arguably the only all-in-one app for highway travelers, because it goes beyond what existing map apps provide. In addition to turn-by-turn directions, Nexit also helps drivers customize the perfect road trip by finding exactly what they need and when they need it, while on the move.

Smart search features

Users can search for Hotel brands: To find trusted, national hotels to meet any budget

Hotel amenities: To look for locations that have a gym; that are pet friendly, have free breakfast, Wi-Fi, RV parking, swimming pool and more

Gas stations: To find convenience stores, air for tyres, mechanic on duty, restrooms and more

Gas prices: To locate the cheapest gas within the next 50 miles along your route, updated in real time

Restaurants: To search for a favorite type of food, dietary restrictions or options that have dine-in, drive-thru, take-out, open 24 hours, full bar, kids play area and more

Rest areas: To find locations that have an attendant on duty, dog walk area, picnic tables, baby changing stations and more

Attractions: To find amusement parks, bowling alleys and more along the route

Nexit users can also search by business name or type of stop and even filter by price, distance and more.

Road manual

Nexit’s industry-leading search functions are a road user’s ideal manual before setting out for a trip.

The app sets new standards in navigation by introducing a suite of pioneering features:  City Mode: This multi-layered search feature which gives users customizable  search  capabilities  along  any route is the first in mapping business.

Travel Match;  This is also the  first feature in the business which gives users the liberty to make coordinated stops.

Membership Benefits Integration: In another first, Nexit incorporates membership and loyalty benefits, offering a seamless way to discover and use valuable perks from organisations such as AAA, AARP. Costco, and CVS partnerships.

Developers of the app said they came up with this feature to help most members of these organisations who underutilise valuable features because they are not fully aware of all the benefits included in their membership associations.

It means that by providing a platform globally, that combines exclusive discounts with membership benefits, the app helps users maximise savings.

Innovative City Mode: Another Nexit First  As the first app with fully customizable, multi-layered search capabilities in city mode,  Nexit enables  users  to  find  multiple  points  of  interest  across categories, with results displayed simultaneously on the map. This allows users to  pinpoint  areas  that  fulfill  all  their  preferences within  the  same  location, helping them explore cities more conveniently.

Global solution to local ideas

Speaking on the capabilities of the map, an excited Founder of Nexit, Dr Vincent Ebuh said: “We’re  thrilled  to  offer  a  global  solution  to  local  ideas  that  incorporates  both our  unique  deals and existing member benefits in a way that’s easy to use and incredibly valuable”  .

The app and  its premium features are free for all users.

CEO, Randy Carpenter said: “All existing navigation apps tell you where to drive, only Nexit tells you where to stop. We’ve all been there, you’re on a road trip and settle for food you don’t want, only to find out your favorite chain was two exits away or you’ve filled up on gas only to find it cheaper at the next station.

Unprecedented testimonials

The app has enjoyed rave reviews as prominent app reviewers describe it as the smartest map for a road user . It solves many common frustrations of existing navigation apps.

Explaining how far the app has given its competitors a hot chase, a reviewer once said: “If you search in Google or Apple Maps for McDonald’s, you will see every McDonald’s location near you, even though  it could be 20 minutes in the opposite direction.

” But, the search on Nexit is unique because it shows you options that are on your way.”
