About

Valico

Features
Read full description

Valico is turn-by-turn navigation for drivers who care about the road, not just the destination. Most navigation apps treat your route as a suggestion. The moment you drift, they reroute you to the fastest way to the end. Valico does the opposite: the route you loaded is the route you drive. If you leave it, Valico guides you back onto the track ahead — it never quietly reroutes you to the destination. THREE WAYS TO START A DRIVE • Import a GPX route from Files, email, or any app that shares .gpx. • Generate a route: tell Valico where to start and end (or ask for a loop) and it proposes spirited, curve-rich candidates for you to pick from. • Record a drive: breadcrumb a road you love as you drive it, and keep it in your library to run again later. BUILT FOR REAL ROADS • Review before you drive: Valico shows the matched route and flags spots where the map-match may have wandered, so you can accept, correct, or swap a stretch first. • Route-faithful guidance: clear turn-by-turn with voice, tuned to keep you on the track you chose. • CarPlay: full guidance on your car's screen. • Save your library: routes, generated loops, and recorded drives all live together, with your own marks on the corners worth remembering. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your routes, profile, and drive history stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly publish a route as a share link — and even then Valico trims the start and end so your link never reveals where you live. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Bring your own roads. Drive the ones you dream about.
