About

SlowBi

Features
Read full description

SlowBi is the reference App for those who want to travel on foot and by bike. Tourists can move through an interactive map, locating the realities present, informing themselves about their characteristics, reaching them through cycling and pedestrian paths mainly traced on secondary roads or on paths. The goal is to make known the peculiarities of the territory and those who live it: producers, restaurants and hospitality facilities are connected by the routes, allowing the tourist to reach them in comfort. The App also works without internet connection: maps and tracks can be preloaded, avoiding roaming costs. In case of distraction, an alarm alerts you if you move away from the route and you can report any problems recommend routes by communicating the GPS location.
