What's New in Rods

2.0.0

November 5, 2026

Rods 2.0 NEW • Rods now warns you about more than 80,000 licensed speed cameras across Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with its own icon and warning for fixed, average-speed, red-light, distance-control, overtaking and bus-lane cameras. • Average-speed zones are drawn on the map and on the drive screen, with your average speed shown under the speedometer and a warning when it goes over the limit. • Rods now works fully offline: download a country, state or town and your routes, maps and search keep working with no signal. • You can now find places and addresses with no signal using offline search. • Choose whether you see corner callouts, hear them, or both, from Road features & callouts. • Choose what Rods shows and calls out, feature by feature (speed cameras, bumps, chicanes, narrows, roundabouts, bridges, tunnels, toll booths, islands, dips and surface changes), each with its own See and Hear switch. • New, clearer maps on the phone and the car screen, with the road's name drawn along your route line. • CarPlay now shows average-speed zones and all six camera types too. • The map now shows which way each camera looks. • Your recent searches are kept, so your last places are one tap away. • Ferries now show on your route summary. • You can queue several region downloads at once. • The route line no longer loops across sharp corners. • Icons now sit beside the road, never over your car. IMPROVEMENTS • Free Roam and drives start faster, because the voice-pack check no longer holds them for seconds. • Free Roam switches to your new road sooner after you leave the suggested one. • Free Roam now ends and saves your drive on its own once the car link drops and you have been still for two minutes. • The speed-limit sign is more accurate: it prefers the most reliable limit data and waits briefly instead of guessing. • Launch now starts the countdown even when there is no corner ahead. • Roundabouts are now always called out, even when you go straight across or pass the same one twice. BUG FIXES • Fixed Free Roam leaving most corners unspoken at the start of a drive. • Fixed Free Roam ignoring your voice volume setting. • Fixed being signed out after the phone's clock or time zone changed. • Fixed a deleted route staying in Recents on Home. • Fixed CarPlay Free Roam so it keeps tracking your car while the phone is locked.

User reviews

Almost there

Good concept but not there yet. You should be able to filter categories out of your routes. Like, I want to go here but avoid any roads with speed bumps and cameras. Also really dislike when an app is trying to force you to sign in for certain features.

Feel like a pro

Love it, makes driving fun again!

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the review, glad it brings the fun back to your drives! 🔥

Volume

Great app only issue for me so far is the co driver volume is a little quite so it’s a little hard to hear if you have music or the windows open

Subscription

Being asked to sign up for a $13/mth subscription before even getting into the app is an instant uninstall for any app. And then offering an extended free trial “this one time” when you hit the back button to leave is a level of scummery that would make SiriusXM proud.

Took my money

Had a free trial canceled it before the end date and still got charge for a subscription I didn’t pay for

Response from developer

Hey, sorry to hear that but thats physically impossible from our side as apple charges you only when the trial ends and we can't physically charge you earlier. The trial can be cancelled any time before it ends in the phone's App Store subscription settings, and nothing is charged if the trial is cancelled before it ends. You get a notification 2 days before the trial ends. Only Apple can refund an App Store purchase. If you got charged and don't want it, write to feedback@driverods.com and I'll try to get you a refund, no worries.
