Where the name LAPAN Nav comes from
Lapan is Malay for eight. The LAPAN Nav icon is a map pin drawn as an 8, so the name and the place you're heading to share one shape.
What LAPAN Nav does
- Turn-by-turn voice and on-screen directions, with lane guidance at junctions.
- Live traffic on car routes, and a faster route offered when one shows up.
- Road reports from fellow drivers: jams, police, accidents, floods and closed roads.
- The toll fare in RM on every car route, plaza by plaza, from the official rate tables.
- Voice and screens in Bahasa Melayu, English, 中文 and தமிழ், written the way Malaysians talk.
- Car, motorcycle, bicycle and walking routes.
Who makes it
LAPAN Nav is a one-person project by Leslie Chan, an independent Malaysian developer and the founder of Fractal Digital Agency. No outside funding, no big company behind it. Drivers make it better as they use it: every road report, place fix and problem report goes back into the app.
