## What is PedalPilot?

PedalPilot is a free, privacy-first cycling navigation app built for everyday riders and commuters who want genuinely bike-focused routing and guidance.

Plan your ride with up to five cycling-optimised route options — balanced (safety and comfort first), fast, flat, or dedicated mountain bike trail and enduro variants. Add waypoints for multi-stop journeys, save home and work for one-tap starts, and see a live elevation preview before you go.

Once on the road you get significantly improved turn-by-turn voice guidance that now intelligently combines consecutive turns ("turn right and then immediately turn left") and speaks natural rounded distances instead of random numbers. Voice instructions are fully supported in English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.3 — 2026-07-29

Voice guidance is now more reliable with a locked screen and other audio, continues across consecutive instructions, and includes street names when available. Rerouting, route progress, and waypoint handling are more robust.

### 1.9.2 — 2026-07-26

Voice guidance now continues when your iPhone is locked. We also fixed Apple Health permissions so completed cycling rides sync correctly again, along with further navigation and stability improvements.

### 1.9.1 — 2026-07-25

Turn-by-turn navigation is now more reliable and precise. Voice guidance includes clear distance units and better-timed turn prompts, while route progress and arrival estimates remain steadier when you stop. We also reduced unnecessary turn instructions and added a collapsible navigation panel for a clearer map view.

### 1.9 — 2026-07-21

Smarter nearby search now prioritizes relevant places close to you. Saved routes can also be edited, with stops added, removed or reordered. Plus reliability improvements.

### 1.8 — 2026-07-17

• New e-scooter profile with bike-path preference, no steps and better handling of hills and rough surfaces
• Routes clear reliably when navigation is cancelled, with stronger GPS and ride recovery
• Save and restore a private copy of your app data in clear, non-technical language
• Cleaner ride profiles, route previews, map controls and hazard reminders
• Improved saved routes, GPX sharing, statistics, accessibility, privacy and Apple Health reliability
