Hello
to be checked:
on Waze, you can choose your mode of transport in the options

  Good evening and thank you for your help, but unfortunately, WAZE does not offer pedestrian routes
  Too bad... I will continue searching.
  Have a good weekend.

Hello

All GPS devices are also for pedestrians.

If it's for navigating "in the city", there's no need for anything special. Almost all of them have a pedestrian mode.
And in fact, on Android for example, you don't need anything special either, Google Maps offers all that.

However, if you’re looking for something focused on hiking that’s different, but there are plenty of apps for that as well.

Best regards

  Thank you very much. I use the GPS on my Samsung, but unfortunately, it's very difficult to follow as a pedestrian because it is not stable at all, the orientation spins in all directions, and I can't rely on it.
  Anyway, thank you for your help.

    It's not the app that does this, but your device.
    The basic accuracy of a public GPS is more than 10 meters. And the accuracy will also depend on the quality of your mobile and its components.
    Similarly, accuracy will depend on the number of satellites it can see; the more there are, the more accurate it can be. If you are in a city surrounded by tall buildings, it will have almost no "vision."
    
    The other "senses" of a mobile for locating/positioning are triangulations via GPS beacons and an integrated compass if it has one, again depending on the quality.
    
    In summary: changing apps won't change much about your problem.

    Personally, I've used pedestrian mode several times (Samsung S7) without any issues with Google Maps, both online and offline, but that was in the countryside, so the terrain was clear.
