GlintA big arrow per turn
A shaded 3D arrow, the distance counting down, the instruction and the street, plus the street after it at normal text size.
GLINTOS MINI-APP · NAVIGATION
The next turn, in sight.
The phone stays in your pocket.
The next turn, a heading-up street map and your arrival time on your glasses, from your phone’s GPS and free OpenStreetMap services.
What it is.
Navigation is turn-by-turn guidance for Everysight Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses, run by GlintOS on your Android phone. Search an address, a place or coordinates and pick Car, Motorcycle, Bike or Walk. The glasses show the next turn as a large 3D arrow, a heading-up map of your route and your arrival time.
Your position comes from the phone’s GPS, and search, routing and the map use free public services built on OpenStreetMap data, so there is no account or API key. You are rerouted when you leave the route, and the trip keeps tracking while you use other apps.
What you get.
A heading-up map
OpenStreetMap streets, 3D buildings, parks and water, turned to your heading, your route in blue, on dark ground, since black is see-through.
Four travel modes
Car, Bike and Walk use their own road networks; Motorcycle uses car routes. The turn countdown starts at 500 m by car or motorcycle, 200 m by bike and 100 m on foot.
Automatic rerouting
Three accurate GPS fixes off the route trigger a new one, at most every 15 seconds; if that fails, the old route stays.
Search and saved places
Type or dictate on the glasses or search on the phone; results favour places near you. Keep 12 saved and 10 recent places, including where you stand.
Demo before you go
Demo, called Preview route on the phone, drives a simulated position along the route, labelled DEMO. Stopping it restores your real progress.
On your glasses.
Where to?
With no route: GPS status, speed and heading, with Search, Places and Mode.
Search results
Up to 8 places with their area. Tap one to start the route; with no match, Edit query.
Route map
The default route view: a turn banner, the map, then arrival time, time and distance left, and a status chip such as REROUTING.
Guidance
The large arrow, distance, instruction and street, then arrival, time and distance left, with a progress line across the top.
Route steps
Every maneuver with its street and distance, the next one marked. Demo starts or stops the simulation.
How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Next row or button; on the keyboard, along a row of keys. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Previous row or button, including Back. |
| Tap | Presses the focused item: start a route, switch Map and Guidance, Steps, Demo, End, Retry or Allow GPS. |
| Long tap | Back: cancels a search, leaves a list, then goes Home while the route keeps running. |
| Voice | Optional. Ask the GlintOS assistant to navigate to or find a place, change mode or units, or stop. The keyboard Mic dictates. |
Gestures come from the temple touchpad on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. An optional R08+ smart ring can send the same gestures from your finger.
Home and phone.
Three sizes. During a route: the turn arrow, distance and street, marked PREVIEW, DIRECT or DEMO when relevant; the widest adds speed, arrival time, time and distance left. Otherwise, your last destination.
Live speed, heading and GPS status, with mode and unit chips and Allow GPS.
Search for addresses, landmarks or coordinates, or Type on glasses; tap a result to navigate or save it.

What you need.
- Glasses
- Maverick AI or AI Pro
Arrows, map and widget are drawn on the glasses; eye tracking is not used.
- Phone
- Android 11 or later, with GPS
GlintOS runs on the phone, which supplies your position and the internet connection.
- Account
- Not needed
There is no sign-in with any service.
- API key
- Not needed
The map, search and routing services are free and used without keys.
- Internet
- Needed on the phone
Mobile data or Wi-Fi, for search, routes and map tiles; there are no offline maps. Keep network access on under Apps > Navigation > Access.
- Permissions
- Precise location
Tap Allow GPS and grant precise location, with phone location on; approximate is not enough. Microphone only for dictation.
- Cost
- None
No subscription. The public services have fair-use rules and no guaranteed uptime, and maps use mobile data.
These rows are about Navigation. GlintOS itself also needs internet on the phone the first time it connects to your glasses and about once a month after that, when the glasses’ security certificate is renewed.
Set it up.
- Install GlintOS on an Android 11 or later phone and connect your glasses.
- Open Navigation on the glasses, or tap Open on glasses on its phone page.
- Tap Allow GPS, grant precise location and keep phone location on.
- Pick a mode, search a destination and tap a result. The map opens first.
- Tap End when you are done; an unfinished route keeps GPS running.
Your data.
- Typed destinations, with your current or last known position, go to Nominatim or its fallback, Photon by Komoot. Coordinates you type are not sent to search.
- Routing sends your start and destination to the FOSSGIS routing servers; map tiles for your area come from OpenFreeMap.
- Your route, places and last position stay on the phone, excluded from cloud backup; Clear data deletes them, not cached map tiles.
- GPS runs only while Navigation is on screen, or while a route is calculating or unfinished.
Good to know.
- GlintOS is an independent project in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026. Navigation has been tested so far only in the Android emulator with the glasses simulator.
- No live traffic, lane guidance or spoken turns, and arrows are not anchored to the street. Travel times are the routing service’s estimates, and road signs and traffic rules always come first.
- The map runs at 15 frames per second, only in Map view, and may stop with the phone screen off. Guidance continues if it fails.
- Voice matches words anywhere, so a destination containing end or stop ends the route. End asks for no confirmation.
Questions.
Can I get turn-by-turn navigation on Maverick AI glasses?
Yes, with GlintOS and its Navigation mini-app on an Android phone. The glasses show the next turn, a heading-up map and your arrival time, while the phone supplies GPS and the connection.
Does Navigation need an account or an API key?
No. Navigation uses free public OpenStreetMap-based services without sign-in or keys. Those services keep their own terms and fair-use limits.
Does Navigation work offline?
No. Search, routing and the map need internet. Offline, typed coordinates and Direct line still give a straight-line bearing.
Has Navigation been tested on real glasses?
Not yet. Until real-glasses testing, map legibility, battery use and on-road GPS accuracy are unverified.
