Wazeis partnering with upcomingNetflixmovie The Sea Beast to bring new voices, modes and vehicle icons to theGoogle-owned navigation app.
There are also three “monstrous moods” to choose from, called Blue, Red and Yellow, and a new lifeboat icon to show the driver’s position on a map.
Intended to be an immersive experience, Maisie translates for Blue, and the pair will help you get to know some other Beasts from the film as you explore each of the three modes. We suspect the technique here is, show you kids the film then use Waze to keep them entertained on that summer road trip you’ve got planned.
With Sea Beast mode enabled, Waze invites drivers to “get ready to explore the world together, on a journey full of surprise, wonder and funny banter,” but we’ll leave you to be the judges of the latter.

To access the Sea Beast moods and voices, go to settings in the Waze app, then Voice & Sound -> Waze voice. To change your vehicle icon to the lifeboat, go to the settings app and navigate to Map display -> Car icon.
The Sea Beast comes to Netflix, and will be shown in select cinemas, on 8 July, and the accompanying Waze copilot experience is available globally, in English only, now and for a limited time to coincide with the release.
