Neshan

Navigate Iranian cities with real-time traffic, combined bus-and-metro routing and Persian voice guidance, from the homegrown map app millions of Iranians — including ride-hailing drivers — rely on daily. About Neshan: Neshan ("sign" or "mark" in Persian) is an Iranian-developed navigation and mapping app built specifically for Iranian roads and cities, filling a gap left by international services like Google Maps and Waze, which face restrictions inside Iran. Built on OpenStreetMap data and developed by the Rajman team, Neshan has become a go-to tool not just for everyday users but for ride-hailing drivers on platforms like Snapp and Tapsi. Key Features: Real-Time Traffic Routing: Get the fastest or least congested route using live traffic data, with alerts for speed cameras and police checkpoints along the way. Combined Transit Navigation: Plan trips that combine bus and metro routes alongside driving directions, useful in cities with extensive public transit networks. Persian Voice Guidance: Navigate with spoken street names and directions in Persian, plus Persian speech recognition for hands-free search. Environmental & Safety Data: View air pollution levels in cities with monitoring stations, and get warnings for speed bumps and low-emission or traffic-restricted zones. How to Get Started: Download the Neshan app from Cafe Bazaar or another supported app store. Allow location access so the app can determine your position via GPS, Wi-Fi or mobile network. Search for a destination by name or address, or select a point of interest like a restaurant, gas station or ATM. Choose a route and start navigation, or use combined bus-and-metro directions for public transit trips. Important Notice: Neshan's interface and voice guidance are entirely in Persian, so non-Persian speakers may find it harder to use than international alternatives, even though its local data and traffic information are often more detailed for Iranian cities.
