• Citymapper, a leading transport planning app, introduced a global walk routing feature to strengthen its enterprise offerings. 

• The new solution allows enterprise users to add walking directions and voice-enabled turn-by-turn navigation to their transport planning apps. Key features of the solution include the ability to choose preferred walking routes, avoid steep hills, identify routes with pedestrian zone priority, calorie conversion, and step-free routing for pedestrians with accessibility needs. The solution leverages OpenStreetMap (OSM), which allows it to be applied globally in both cities and rural areas. 

• Enterprise users would gain access to Citymapper’s global walk software developer kit (SDK) in order to integrate the new functions into its products. The SDK is fully customizable in terms of colors, fonts, icons, and other details. 

<ul><li> Analyst QuickTake: The launch of the new enterprise-grade feature comes in the wake of the appointment of a new COO in April 2022, where the firm signaled its intent to scale its enterprise solutions. The new solution is a unique feature and, given its availability globally (Citymapper has the highest geographical reach), provides Citymapper with a distinct advantage over other transport planning apps.</ul>
