Meridian

Navigate together. Meridian Drive keeps every driver on the same route, the same page & out of trouble. HERE-powered. No ads. No data selling.

A beta tester sent this last week:

"Voice telling me inaccurate distances before turns. Quoting
metres when ft is what's displayed on screen."

Opened the code. Voice generator was hardcoded to metres,
regardless of the user's units pref.

Fixed in v1.2.5. Imperial users now hear "in 200 yards" / "in
a quarter mile" — matching what they see.

Beta reports → real fixes → next build. The loop works.

If you're a multilingual driver in any of the 5 new locales — especially if you spot anything that reads off in your language — your eyes shape what ships next.

Built in public. Beta open.

A few weeks ago we onboarded our first European beta tester. He's German.

Today Meridian Drive ships in 6 languages.

A short thread on what it actually takes to localise a nav app.

v1.2.5 highlights:

→ Native UI in DE / FR / ES / IT / NL alongside EN
→ Language picker in Settings — your phone is in Spanish but you want nav in English? One tap.
→ Colour-blind-safe palette for traffic + speed warnings
→ U-turn avoidance now a safety default, not an opt-in
→ A handful of CarPlay + Android Auto polish fixes

[Meridian @MeridianDrive_]

Two other fixes in the same release:

• Android Auto map now renders on aftermarket head units (Atoto, Carlinkit, etc.)
• Password reset email links now open the app properly

Beta's open across UK, IRE, AUS, NZ — currently expanding to EU:

A beta tester told us his speedometer read 35 mph while his friends in the same convoy watched him doing 51.

This is the bug story.

Fix: pull the smoothing into a shared helper, use it for both the local display AND every broadcast site (convoy presence, live-share viewer, CarPlay/AA member dots, trip stats).

5 files. Made it structurally impossible to drift again.

Shipped today as v1.2.2.

@ChislonChis Hi Richard,

Thank you for the feedback! We will be looking to move into the HUD systems a little further down the line.

When you say it's not smooth do you mean the user movement on the map? If you pop me a DM with a little in-depth detail, we can investigate and fix.

Google Maps wants to know where you go.
Apple Maps doesn't really care.
Waze sells where you went.

Meridian deletes where you went 24 hours after your trip ends.

Because we charge for the app, not for your data.

[Meridian @MeridianDrive_]

Every sat nav app on the market assumes you drive alone.

Group road trips, motorbike rideouts, car meets, family caravan
trips — none of them are solved by Google or Apple Maps. You're
stuck with WhatsApp + a "designated lead car" and the ritual of
losing each other at every junction.

Meridian does it better.

Meridian is navigation that actually respects you. Your route, your speed, your location — it stays on your device and nowhere else. We don't store it. We don't sell it. We never will.
