The development of the Doroob Navigator app started in October 2018. In April 2019, the team began to conduct closed beta testing in some areas, and the application was officially launched in June 2019, acquiring approximately 15,000 users within the first month and a half.
With Doroob Navigator, users are able to find locations as well as receive optimized navigation routing with built-in instructions. The Doroob Navigation app was designed to be interactive: users can report traffic and road information immediately, and other users can confirm the events on a live map. Such functions aim to provide users with accurate and updated road information.
A Palestinian project designed to cater to the needs of the Palestinian driver on the road, Doroob is distinguished by its capacity to enhance the safety of drivers – whether by reflecting the politically divided road system in the application’s settings or by navigating drivers to avoid roads that lead to settlements or checkpoints. Doroob Navigator is on a serious mission to help its users save time and better plan their travels safely and efficiently.
Doroob Technologies is a Palestinian technology startup that specializes in navigation and location-based solutions. Its main mission is to develop accurate and up-to-date maps for overlooked local regions and communities. Simultaneous with the release of Doroob Navigator, Doroob Technologies is working on developing innovative location-based tools to address constraints in supply-chain and fleet-management routing operations, transportation, and logistics.
