I’ll add a custom feature that flashes a massive neon-green arrow in the direction you need to turn.

Will support other languages when speaking the direction

You can supply custom audio files in the html/audio folder with your own sounds (which can be recorded in another language).

It’s so hard to create something original anymore, so this is fantastic. I’ll be watching to see what updates come.

I really appreciate that, bearing in mind this is my first script. I took inspiration from a GTA V mod called Waze Navigation. The annoying thing was that they hadn’t released the source code for it so I had to do it all from scratch.

Being just 14 years old it’s really nice to learn that others can benefit from my work.

My next steps are customisable volume (not working as of current release), multiple voices and (official) audio translations.

google some GPS voices. Maybe they can be useful LOL

Right now, I made my own using Google’s WaveNet (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/).

I found it was fairly realistic.

Doing that also lets me easily update the wording, or change to different voices/accents/etc.

ahahaha awesome release man! <3
