Two taps from "Where to?" to a lower-risk route.

A walk through the real app: set a destination, compare the routes, and drive the one with less risk on it.

The Tsamaya home screen in the daytime over Rosebank, Johannesburg. The city chip reads Johannesburg, Day, the Where to? search bar sits above a row of one-tap shortcuts, and the risk overlay is switched off, so the map shows only streets and places

01 · The home screen

Open it, and the time of day is already set

The map opens on your metro. The chip at the top says which one and which part of the day the ratings are for: the app reads the clock, and there is no switch to get wrong.

  1. 1

    The time band

    Johannesburg, Day. After 17:30 it reads Evening, after 19:30 Night, and the ratings change with it.

  2. 2

    The overlay

    The eye shows or hides every rated area and road, coloured by risk. It is off here: a daytime drive through Rosebank.

  3. 3

    Where to?

    Search for a place, tap one of your shortcuts, or press and hold the map to drop a pin.

  4. 4

    Shortcuts

    Home, work and the places you save, one tap away.

Tsamaya ready to plan a daytime trip, with the start set to My location in Rosebank and the destination set to Melrose Arch, and an Add stop option and the Go button underneath

02 · Setting the trip

From, to, and Go

Your start defaults to where you are. The destination is whatever you searched, tapped or pinned.

  1. 1

    From

    My location, unless you choose somewhere else to start.

  2. 2

    Swap

    Turns the trip round in one tap.

  3. 3

    To

    Melrose Arch here. The cross clears it.

  4. 4

    Add a stop

    A trip through a few places is planned leg by leg, so every leg gets the same risk check.

  5. 5

    Go

    Plans the routes and compares them.

Tsamaya comparing three routes for a daytime trip across the north of Johannesburg. The balanced, lower-risk option, graded B, takes 47 minutes over 52.3 km: 9.8 km further than the standard route but 2 minutes quicker in live traffic, with 99 per cent less risk, passing 1 medium-risk area for 0.1 km. The standard route, graded E, takes 49 minutes over 42.4 km and passes 4 high-risk areas for 10 km, and a third option via the N1 is also graded E. On the map the lower-risk route swings south to the freeway where the standard route heads straight west, and both then follow the freeways around the north of Johannesburg

03 · Comparing the routes

9.8 km further, 2 minutes quicker

A morning trip across the north of Johannesburg. The standard route (grade E, 49 min, 42.4 km) passes 4 high-risk areas. The lower-risk one goes the long way round on the freeway: grade B, 47 min, 52.3 km, and in that morning's traffic it was also the quicker one.

  1. 1

    The routes

    Blue is the option picked, grey the others. The overlay is off, so the map names no area as risky.

  2. 2

    What it still passes

    The chosen route passes 1 medium-risk area for 0.1 km. When risk cannot be avoided, the card says so.

  3. 3

    The grade and the trade

    Balanced, lower-risk: grade B, 99% less risk than the standard route, 2 minutes quicker and 9.8 km further.

  4. 4

    The alternatives

    Standard, grade E: 4 high-risk areas for 10 km. Every option is graded A to E, and any high-risk area floors a route at D.

  5. 5

    Start

    Drive it in the app, with voice and Apple CarPlay.

Tsamaya navigating on Oxford Road in Rosebank in the daytime, between 3D buildings. The next instruction is a left turn onto the M20 in 280 metres with lane guidance underneath, the speed reads 43 km/h against a 60 limit, the route is drawn green along Oxford Road and yellow for low risk on the M20 ahead, and the road the car is on is labelled Oxford Road, lower risk. The trip has 8 minutes and 3.8 km left

An honest note

Every screen here is the real app.

Captured on 2026/09/25 from a release build on an iPhone simulator, against the live database: real map tiles, real ratings, real search and real routing. They are daytime captures, with the risk overlay switched off where it would have coloured the streets where people live. Routes weigh known risk. They are not a guarantee of safety, so stay aware on the road regardless.
