Waze has launched a global, English-language navigation experience inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming original film Forgotten Island, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 25, 2026. The feature brings Jo, the film’s adventurous heroine voiced by Grammy and Academy Award winner H.E.R., into the passenger seat as a custom navigation voice, delivering directions with upbeat confidence, warmth, and phrases such as “Tayo na!” and “Strap in… let’s roll!” Drivers can also select a “Nostalgic” mood that displays Jo’s retro, paint-splattered boombox, which reflects her signature mixtapes, and replace the usual map arrow with “Jo’s Jeepney,” a vibrant vehicle designed as a tribute to Filipino cultural heritage. Waze says users can access the tie-in by updating to the latest version of the app and choosing the Forgotten Island banner from the menu, turning routine trips into a more playful, film-themed journey.
