What's New in LeadNav GPS

6.50

October 9, 2026

Welcome to Phase 2 - Introducing NEW powerful capabilities for our PreRunners Home Zone. Keeps your exact position private near home. Teammates see a shaded area your home is inside, never at the center of. Off unless you turn it on. Settings > Tracking & Comms. Customize Waypoints. Rename any waypoint symbol, choose from new symbols including turn severity L1 to R6, Caution, Fence, Cattle Guard, Whoops and G-Out, and drag them where you want them. Names are spoken as written. iPad Side Panels keep your symbols beside the waypoint window. Share a layout to another device as a file. Reversing a route mirrors the turn symbols. KeyPad (Beta). A Bluetooth keypad becomes a multi-button pad: one key per waypoint symbol, plus Speed Dot, zoom, track, undo and talk, set on a drawing of the pad in Settings > Buttons. Pro. Buttons. Settings > Buttons now explains what the buttons do and how several systems run together, with a card for each. The mic learns your fixes. Correct a name the Waypoint Mic typed and this device remembers it. Say turn codes the way you call them and they save as L4 or Right 3+. The shared word list updates on its own. Trigger Word (Beta). The Waypoint Mic waits until it hears LEADNAV, for shared mics and intercoms. Pro, off by default.

Awesome off-road Navigation

The app is very intuitive and easy to grasp making trip and race planning very easy and convenient, also the new tracking feature is very useful to keep the whole team connected and on track for chasing and pitting strategy.

Simple & Powerful

This platform has been my go-to for years now. Plenty of tutorials that show how to create routes on Google Earth, convert those routes, and import them into LeadNav. You get a lot for the basic app, with plenty of added conveniences with the upgraded versions that make route editing fast.

Editing option

I wish while you’re editing, that instead of getting a confirmation notification for each edit, that you could say don’t ask for the next five minutes.

Off-road racing

This application is a game changer and we have been using it for many years in Off-road Racing. Being able to drop a waypoint and voice text what we want it to say makes pre-running way more effective while allowing us to race faster, knowing that we have detailed Way points talking to us along the entire course!
