About Back Seat Navigator

Are you a glutton for punishment? Finally, there is an Android navigation app that will curse you out while you drive, make fun of you for missing turns, and just generally act like a complete jerk. Back Seat Navigator harnesses advanced Mapbox technology to help you get where you need to go...even if it is making fun of you the whole way. Is this the most obnoxious navigation app ever? You be the judge... BSNavigator features: - Accurate turn-by-turn directions from Mapbox. - Selectable navigation modes (Driving (Avoid Traffic), Driving, Walking, Cycling). - Selectable profanity settings (On, Some, None).* - Switchable insult settings (On, Off).** - Night and Day modes. - Buttloads of obnoxious directions, insults, and rerouting instructions. - Ability to select routes that avoid tolls. - Ability to automatically change units based on the device's locale. Info about BSNavigator Location Permissions: - Navigation apps require access to the device's foreground location. Without the location permission, they can't function properly or provide accurate turn-by-turn instructions. - As soon as the app is opened and a subscription is enabled, you will be asked to grant the app foreground and background location permissions. These permissions can be changed at any time in the device Settings. - BSNavigator will operate without the background location permission, but users will have to keep the app open in order to receive accurate turn-by-turn instructions. - If you are interested in using the app while it's closed, you will have to grant the app access to the device's background location permissions. You can disable background location permissions at any time in the device Settings and the app will still function normally while it's open. Info about BSNavigator Subscriptions: - Payment will be changed to your Google Play account once you confirm the subscription. - The Month and Year subscriptions allow you unlimited access to the app for the period of the subscription. These options remove all ads and allow for unlimited drives/routes during the period of the subscription. - The Subscription options automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off or the subscription is cancelled before the end of the current subscription period. - You can cancel your subscription at any time in the subscriptions section on Google Play. When you cancel your subscription, you’ll lose access to the subscription at the end of the current billing period. - You will not receive a prorated refund if you cancel a subscription in the middle of a billing period. Instead, you will continue to receive the subscription content for the remainder of the current billing period, regardless of the cancellation date. - You might find a payment authorization on your payment method up to 24-hours before the renewal date but you’ll only be charged on the renewal date. To remove the payment authorization, cancel the subscription before the renewal date. - Automatic renewals will cost…

What Back Seat Navigator Is Used For

Back Seat Navigator appears to be a turn-by-turn navigation app for Android phones, built for getting driving, walking, or cycling directions from one place to another. Based on the metadata, it uses map and routing data from Mapbox and includes navigation options such as avoiding traffic, avoiding tolls, and switching between day and night display modes.

The app is also presented as a deliberately sarcastic navigation experience, with selectable profanity and insult settings that change the style of spoken or written guidance. That means it may appeal to users who want a navigation app with a more humorous tone, rather than a standard voice-guided map app. Because navigation apps need location access to calculate routes and track movement, the listed permissions suggest it may rely on precise location, network access, and possibly background location if used while the app is closed. It also includes common device controls like vibration and keeping the device awake, which are typical for active navigation on a phone.

Common uses

  • Provides turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking, and cycling
  • May help route around traffic or toll roads
  • Can be used as a phone navigation app during active travel

  • May use foreground or background location to support route guidance
  • Uses network and Bluetooth-related permissions typical of navigation and location services
Best for:
drivers walkers cyclists phone users humor-focused users
