Waze is offering a unique navigation experience that blends your daily commute with the adventure of the upcoming film Forgotten Island. This feature is set to launch just before the movie's September 25, 2026, release. Inspired by the film's protagonist, Jo, voiced by Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist H.E.R., Waze's new navigation brings a lively, interactive element to your drive.
As you navigate through traffic, Jo's turn-by-turn directions are infused with her energetic personality, offering phrases like "Tayo na!" and "Strap in... let’s roll!" For a nostalgic touch, users can activate the "Nostalgic" Mood, which features Jo's retro boom box playing her famous mixtapes. Your navigation arrow transforms into the iconic "Jo’s Jeepney," a nod to Filipino cultural heritage.
This feature is available worldwide in English. Simply update your Waze app and look for the "Forgotten Island" banner to start your island-inspired journey.
