Once it is installed

Getting started takes about five minutes

  1. 01

    Open Tsamaya and look around

    The map opens on your metro with the ratings already drawn: rated areas and roads, coloured by risk and the time of day. A short tour points out the important parts on first run.

  2. 02

    Allow location while driving

    Tsamaya needs your location to show where you are and to plan a route from where you are standing. Choose "While Using the App" when it first asks. On iPhone it asks once more when you start your first drive, so guidance keeps going when your screen locks. It does not collect your location when the app is closed.

  3. 03

    Drive a route you already know

    The best first test is a trip you make often. You will see straight away whether the route it suggests makes sense to you, and that is exactly the feedback worth having.

Something looks wrong?

If an area looks mis-rated, tap the flag on the map and say so. It goes straight into our review queue. For anything else, email info@tsamayaapp.co.za. Reports about roads you actually drive are the most useful thing you can send us.
