Roaden

Roaden is the app for planning, keeping and riding motorcycle routes. PLAN EVERY LEG YOUR WAY Set a start and a finish on the map and add the stops that matter: fuel, a viewpoint, somewhere to eat. Choose how each leg should ride: fast, balanced, curvy or all the bends, with or without motorways and tracks. See distance, time and climb before you set off. RIDE ON EVEN WITHOUT SIGNAL Spoken turn-by-turn guidance along your own route, not one somebody else picked. The map along the route is downloaded before you leave, so it keeps working in the mountains where the signal doesn't reach. Start far from the beginning and it takes you there; leave the route and it finds you the way back. On your phone and on CarPlay. RIDE WITHOUT A ROUTE AND RECORD IT No plan today? The map follows you, with your speed. Record the ride and get your moving time, top and average speed, lean to each side and highest point, even with no signal. It goes to your routes, private. BRING YOUR ROUTES Upload a GPX from another app and it stays exactly as it is: the same points, never redrawn. EXPLORE AND MEET UP Find the routes other riders publish near you and make them yours. Organise meet-ups with a day, a time and a pace, with the weather forecast for that morning, choose who comes and talk to the group before you ride. On the day, see where the others are on the map. YOUR ROUTES, ALWAYS WITH YOU Keep routes with photos and notes, publish them or keep them private, and export them to GPX. One subscription with everything, and 14 days free to try it.
