Kiraa

Kiraa is the community-driven navigation app built for Guinea, where formal addresses don't exist and traditional map routing often fails.

In Guinea, finding a place means asking locals for directions - landmark by landmark. Kiraa changes that by letting the community build a reliable navigation network together.

HOW IT WORKS

📍 Register Places with OGLAP Addresses

Every location gets a unique, permanent address using the OGLAP protocol (Offline Grid Location Addressing Protocol). No street names needed - just a precise code like GN-CKY-QKAR-B4A4-2798 or B4A4-2798, that anyone can use to find exactly where you mean.

🗺️ Share Community Routes

Roads in Guinea change with the seasons. Official maps don't know which paths are passable or which shortcuts locals use. With Kiraa, users draw and share the routes they actually travel — from paved highways to neighborhood shortcuts.

🗳️ Vote on the Best Routes

Not all routes are equal. The community votes on routes so the best, most reliable paths rise to the top. Seasonal routes are tagged so you know what works in rainy season vs. dry season.

🚨 Report Road Incidents

Alert other travelers about road closures, flooding, checkpoints, or construction. Real-time incident reports help everyone plan safer trips.

🧭 Turn-by-Turn Navigation

Get guided navigation along community-verified routes. Kiraa uses the Valhalla routing engine combined with local knowledge for directions that actually work.

📴 Works Offline

WHY KIRAA?

Guinea has over 13 million people but virtually no formal address system. GPS coordinates are meaningless to most people, and Google Maps often shows roads that don't exist or misses the ones that do.

Kiraa solves this by putting navigation in the hands of the people who know Guinea best — its residents. Every place registered, every route shared, and every vote cast makes navigation better for everyone.

Whether you're a taxi driver finding an address in Conakry, a merchant delivering goods upcountry, or a visitor trying to reach a village — Kiraa gets you there.

BUILT FOR GUINEA, BY GUINEA

Kiraa is designed from the ground up for the realities of navigation in Guinea. It's not a global app trying to fit Guinea into its model — it's a Guinean app built around how people actually move and find places here.

Join the community. Register a place. Share a route. Help build Guinea's navigation network.
