What is Atlas Navi?
Atlas Navi is the first Drive-to-Earn AI navigation app that uses machine learning and your smartphone camera to detect road conditions in real time. The app analyzes the road 25 times per second, detecting traffic in each lane, road construction signs, road closures, accidents, police vehicles (in some countries), potholes, and available parking spaces. This generates 100 times better data than traditional navigation apps, enabling smarter routing that avoids problematic roads.
Key features include video recording of trips stored on-device or in the cloud, live streaming of trips with shareable links, group trip tracking for road trips, multi-stop trip routing with the most efficient path, a Driver Score system to improve driving habits, maintenance alerts for insurance/inspection/road tax expiration, and an NFT Car Garage where users own 3D vehicle NFTs on the blockchain. The app also offers turn-by-turn navigation with accurate address search, trip history with associated videos, real-time AI camera view showing what the camera detects, and a wallet for rewards.
Atlas Navi is for drivers worldwide who want to avoid traffic while earning rewards. The app has over 1 million downloads globally, with users driving over 195 million total miles and completing 36,000+ daily trips. It's available on both iOS and Android, founded in 2019 and released in 2022. The app is particularly appealing to crypto/NFT enthusiasts due to its vehicle NFT system and blockchain integration.
The Drive-to-Earn mechanism rewards users with $MILE tokens for each mile driven when they have a 3D NFT vehicle and provide camera data. Users can convert MILE to $NAVI tokens (currently 1 NAVI = 4 MILEs) and use tokens for vehicle upgrades, refueling, repairs, or trading on exchanges.
Atlas Navi pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
The Atlas Navi app is free to download on iOS and Android. However, access is limited to users with a referral code. To earn Drive-to-Earn rewards ($MILE per mile), users must purchase a 3D Vehicle NFT using credit card or $NAVI tokens. $NAVI token price is approximately $0.01189-$0.0132. Rewards are counted in $MILE points that convert to $NAVI at 1 NAVI = 4 MILEs exchange rate. $NAVI tokens can be used for vehicle upgrades, refueling, repairs in-app, or traded on exchanges. Referral rewards include 10 NAVI for friends joining with your code and 5 NAVI for up to 3 levels deep. The API uses a credit-based pricing model: search/reverse geocode = 1 credit, vector tiles = 2 credits, routing = 3 credits, traffic data = 5 credits per request.

Frequently asked questions about Atlas Navi
How do I sign up for Atlas Navi?
Download the Atlas Navi app from AppStore or Google PlayStore. Create an account using an email address and phone number. You will receive an SMS verification code that must be validated in the app. Importantly, access is limited to those with a referral/invite code, which can be obtained free from social channels or from friends who referred you. After verification and entering the referral code, you can start navigating and earn MILE rewards.
How do I earn rewards with Atlas Navi?
To earn rewards, you must: (1) Have a 3D Vehicle NFT in the app (purchased with credit card or $NAVI tokens), (2) Provide traffic data from your camera (optional but required for rewards), and (3) Drive with the Atlas Navi app open. For every mile driven, you earn $MILE tokens. You can convert MILE to $NAVI inside the app at the current exchange rate (1 NAVI = 4 MILEs). Use $NAVI for vehicle upgrades, refueling, repairs, or trade on exchanges.
What is a referral code and how do I get one?
A referral code (invite code) is required to access Atlas Navi. You can get one free from social channels (Telegram, Facebook) or from friends who already use the app. Referral codes help you build your Driving Club. When friends join using your code, you earn 10 NAVI. When users invited by your friends join (up to 3 levels deep), you earn 5 NAVI per user. You also earn MILE rewards whenever your club members drive with the app.
Why does Atlas Navi need camera and location permissions?
Camera permission helps record footage during driving and enables the AI to detect road conditions, traffic, accidents, potholes, and parking spaces in real time. Location permission must be set to 'Always allow' because Atlas Navi needs your phone's location constantly to give turn-by-turn directions, collect rewards based on location, and provide map searches. Without location access, the app cannot give directions or collect rewards.
What are the 3D Vehicle NFTs and why do I need one?
3D Vehicle NFTs are licensed non-fungible tokens representing your car on the blockchain. Each car is a unique NFT where you are the sole owner. You need to purchase a Vehicle NFT (with credit card or $NAVI tokens) to start earning Drive-to-Earn rewards for each mile driven. NFTs can be upgraded to increase rewards, and vehicles need regular refueling/recharging and maintenance based on miles driven, acting as a value sink for the project.
How does the Driver Score feature work?
The Driver Score feature analyzes your driving habits and provides feedback to help improve them. While specific scoring mechanics aren't detailed on the website, the feature is designed to encourage better driving practices. Better driving habits could potentially relate to your rewards or level progression in the app.
What maintenance alerts does Atlas Navi provide?
Atlas Navi provides maintenance alerts for insurance expiration, inspection requirements, and road tax expiration dates. These alerts help drivers stay compliant with legal requirements and avoid penalties. The app tracks these dates and notifies users when maintenance or renewals are needed.
Can I use Atlas Navi with Waze simultaneously?
To navigate with Waze while using Atlas Navi, you need to turn on your phone's location and allow Atlas Navi to use location 'always.' If you deny Atlas Navi location access, it cannot give directions or collect rewards. However, you cannot sign in on 2 devices at the same time due to security reasons. Both apps can run on the same device if location permissions are properly configured.
Why am I unable to access my Atlas Navi account?
Account access issues can occur for several reasons: (1) Incorrect username/password - verify they're correct, (2) Account blocked due to terms violation - contact customer support for assistance, (3) Password forgotten - click 'I forgot my password' on the login page to reset, (4) Using 2 devices simultaneously - this is not allowed. If you cannot reset your password or believe a block is mistaken, contact the Atlas Navi Team or board administrator.
What is the current $NAVI to $MILE exchange rate?
The current exchange rate is 1 $NAVI = 4 $MILEs. This was updated from the previous rate of 1 $NAVI = 5 $MILEs, representing a 20% increase in rewards value. You can exchange MILE tokens for $NAVI inside the app whenever you want, based on the best $NAVI price available that day. The $NAVI token price is approximately $0.01189-$0.0132 on exchanges.
