The motorcycle navigator that loves curves. AuraCurve plans routes that are curvy, not short — with its own worldwide routing engine, loop rides by duration, fuel planning and true offline navigation. No account, no tracking. CURVY ROUTING, WORLDWIDE A purpose-built routing engine that truly scores curves — one level of quality across the whole world, not just Europe. You decide how curvy: from direct to maximum twisties. Gravel and trails are one switch away. LOOP RIDES BY DURATION Tell AuraCurve how long you want to ride — it proposes three loops in different directions, on real curvy roads, without riding the same road back. CURVE BAND AHEAD See what's coming: the band of upcoming curves in the HUD and roundabouts with drawn arms — readable at a glance from the handlebar. FUEL PLANNING AS LOGIC Fuel stops are decided before the ride, not searched for while riding. AuraCurve plans them into the route and continues guidance after you fill up. OFFLINE MAPS & OFFLINE ROUTING Download regions as packages. When the network drops, an embedded routing engine keeps calculating on your iPhone — with the same curve costing as online. CARPLAY Full navigation on the car display: destinations, loops, lane guidance and voice prompts — the phone stays in your pocket. PLAN ON THE BIG SCREEN The web planner at auracurve.app uses the same routing engine as the app: set waypoints, tune curviness, import or export GPX — then send the finished tour to your iPhone as a QR code. The plan lives in the link, no account needed. GPX IN AND OUT Import tours from other planners as GPX, take your own with you as GPX. 19 LANGUAGES Interface and voice prompts speak your language — from German to Japanese. PRIVATE, NO ACCOUNT No registration, no tracking, no community database. Your tours belong to you. FAIR PRICING Try AuraCurve free for 14 days with everything included. After that: a yearly subscription (auto-renews, cancel anytime in your App Store settings) or a one-time lifetime purchase — yours forever.
