Additionally, the app guides you to convenient parking and drop-off locations near your destination, eliminating any unnecessary detours.

Offline Navigation Capability

One of the great features of Yango Maps is its ability to function without an internet connection.

Additional Convenient Features

If you're not driving, Yango Maps has you covered.

The app also enhances your navigation experience by displaying iconic Dubai landmarks in full-color 3D, such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame, the Museum of The Future, and the Jumeirah Mosque. When you switch to dark mode, lifelike lighting effects are triggered on the 3D models, replicating the city's evening atmosphere realistically.

Compatibility and Expansion

Yango Maps is compatible with Android Auto, allowing you to view your route directly in front of you while driving. Currently, this feature is available in the UAE and Azerbaijan, and the app developers plan to add support for more locations in future updates, expanding its usability for more users.

Unique Customization

To add a touch of personalization to your driving experience, Yango Maps has introduced custom car icons. You can choose from a variety of options, some of which reflect Dubai's culture and essence, such as gold and silver arrows, a sports car, a motorcycle, and a specially designed naturally-animated white horse exclusive to Dubai users. You can find these icons in the Settings → Navigation → Car icon section.
