A live map that turns with you
A dark, label-free map drawn right on the glasses, heading up, with your route in cyan and a glowing chevron for you. Heading blends where you are looking with your GPS course. Prefer north up? It is one setting.

Walk anywhere. Eyes up.
GlassNav draws a walking map and turn-by-turn directions on the display of your Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Send a place from your iPhone, or pick one nearby from your wrist. The map follows you and turns with your head while your phone stays in your pocket.
Coming soon · not on the App Store yet
How it works
Pick a place. Start walking. Look up.
Your iPhone is where you type. The glasses are where you look. Walking starts on its own the moment a destination arrives.
-
01
Glasses + iPhone
Pair once
Open From phone on the glasses for a six-character code and type it in the iPhone app. The pairing survives a glasses restart, and signing in carries it to a new phone.
-
02
iPhone or wrist
Choose where to go
Search anywhere on the phone, with results ranked by where you are and walk times shown, then send it. Or stay on the glasses: Nearby, Saved places, Recents, or Take me home.

Walk with your head up
The distance to your next turn, the turn itself, and what comes after sit at the top of your view. Wander off the route and GlassNav finds a new one. At the door, it says you have arrived.
On the display
Bright lines on nothing.
On these glasses dark pixels are see-through, so a filled box becomes a smear over the street. GlassNav draws bright cyan and white on black, and keeps the middle of your view for the turn.
IllustrationsRecreated from GlassNav's glasses display code with a sample code and sample streets. Not photos of the glasses or real map data.
Wrist controls
A bump on the band changes nothing.
GlassNav runs on the Neural Band that pairs with the glasses. While you walk, swipes are ignored on purpose; everything sits behind one deliberate pinch.

Features
Built for walking, not driving.
Everything on the glasses is sized for a glance mid-stride, and everything on the phone is there so you do not have to take it out.
Real turn glyphs
Left, right, slight, sharp and U-turns each get their own glyph, plus a ring when you are about to arrive. The next turn after this one is always shown underneath.
Nearby, in one pinch
Coffee, Food, Pharmacy, ATM, Groceries and Transit, found around where you stand, with distance and walk time on every row.
Place details for a glance
Rating, price, whether it is open and until when, and the walk. An AI model adds two short lines: what the place is, and what reviewers agree on.
Rerouting and arrival
Stray more than about 40 meters from the route and GlassNav plans a new one. On arrival you get a sound, the place's name and a photo of where you are going.
Take me home
Save Home, Work or anywhere else in the web companion on your phone, and Take me home appears at the top of the glasses menu. Recents are one pinch away.
A native iPhone app
Send, Saved, Glasses and Settings tabs, light and dark mode, and a status banner that retries by itself when there is no internet.
Tutorial, help and sounds
A one-minute guided tour and a help screen live on the glasses. Short synthesized sounds confirm actions and can be turned off. Diagnostics runs a self-test.
Optional account
Sign in with Apple or Google so a new iPhone picks up your pairing, saved places, recents and theme. Delete it from the app at any time.
