# Navigation Issues

An overview of possible issues during your route navigation and how you can fix them.

If your app stops to function during route navigation, it's typically due to incorrect settings on your phone. Here are steps to take if navigation is not working for you:

### 1. Check your app permissions

* ✅ **Location permission**\
  Location Permission must be set to **Always**. If prompted, first select **Allow while using app**, then change to **Always** in the app settings. If you decline the location permission, navigation will not work.
* ✅ **Notification permission**\
  Navigation Permission must be **ON** to get notified about navigation turns when your screen is off. If you decline the notification permission, you will not receive any updates during navigation.
* ✅ **Motion & Fitness permisson**\
  Motion & Fitness permission is recommended to be **ON**. It allows for a smoother navigation experience.

The easiest way to verify that your app permissions are correct is to click on **Technical Support** in the app and there on the button **Check technical settings**. It should look like this:

### 2. Check your phone’s sound volume

Is your sound volume on and loud enough? If you mute the sound on your phone, you will not hear voice navigation and turn notifications.

iPhone:

* Set **Ringtone and Alert volume** to **MAX**. You’ll find it under Settings → Sounds & Haptics.
* Make sure that the **silent switch** on the left side of the device (above the volume buttons) is **OFF**.

Android:

* **Volume for Notifications** must be **MAX**. And **volume for Media** (Music, Videos, Games) must be **MAX**. You’ll find it under Settings → Sounds & Vibration → Volume.

### 3. Check your phone’s GPS access

iPhone:&#x20;

* **Location services** must be **ON**. You’ll find it under Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.

Android:&#x20;

* **Location** must be **ON**. You’ll find it under Settings → Location.

### 4. Check your phone’s power settings

iPhone:&#x20;

* **Low Power Mode** must be **OFF**. You’ll find it under Settings → Battery.

Android:&#x20;

* **Power Saving Mode** must be **OFF.** You’ll find it under Settings → Battery.

### 5. Don't carry your phone in a bag or pocket

If you are on a bicycle tour, please use a smartphone holder on the handlebars and always leave your screen on. Do not store the phone in a bag or pocket while driving. If you are hiking and the phone in the pocket of your jacket, open the app regularly.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.guibo.travel/faq/navigation-issues.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
