Drive with “Forgotten Island” on Waze.
Ready to turn your daily commute into an epic island adventure? Waze is bringing your new navigation best friend to the passenger seat, just in time for the release of DreamWorks Animation’s new original film Forgotten Island, arriving in theaters September 25, 2026.
Inspired by her mythical journey across the fantastical island of Nakali, Jo (voiced by Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R.) is stepping in to turn everyday traffic into an unforgettable road trip. Navigating drivers just like she would talk to her best friend Raissa, Jo delivers turn-by-turn directions packed with restless confidence, infectious warmth, and energetic quips like “Tayo na!” and “Strap in... let’s roll!”.
Along with Jo (voiced by H.E.R.’s custom voice navigation), you can activate the “Nostalgic” Mood to sport Jo’s retro, paint-splattered boom box known for playing her iconic mixtapes, and swap your navigation arrow for the film’s vibrant hero ride, “Jo’s Jeepney,” a special nod to Filipino cultural heritage.
This experience is available globally in English. Download the latest version of Waze and look for the “Forgotten Island” banner in the menu or activate it now.
