Track your skate. Find smoother streets. Groove brings GPS skate tracking and a community pavement map together for rollerblading and roller skating. Record your skate, keep your stats, and help build the map for the next skater. RECORD YOUR SKATE Track your route with GPS and see your speed, distance, and time while you skate. FIND SMOOTHER STREETS Explore pavement colors on the Community Map before you roll. Pavement information comes from recorded skates, so a street on the base map may not have contributed pavement data yet. YOUR SKATE HELPS BUILD THE MAP GPS records your route. Separately, Groove uses your phone's movement to estimate pavement smoothness. Useful observations contribute to one shared map for the skating community. KEEP EVERY SKATE Look back at where you went and how you rolled. Revisit your sessions in History, with route maps, speed and smoothness charts, and elevation gain when available. SHARE THE SKATE Send a ride card with your route and stats, or create stickers in Sticker Studio. During a Public skate, share a location link so friends can open Groove and find you. Your public profile can show the current ride's speed, time, and distance. Location sharing ends when you stop recording or switch to Anonymous Mode. SEE WHERE YOU STACK UP Compare distance and miles mapped for this week, past weeks, or all time. Find your place on the leaderboards and open skater profiles. Life Outside Together.
