Navigation built for the way you ride. Kurvo scores every route by its curves. See exactly what's ahead - tight hairpins, sweeping bends, fast straights - before you even start riding. Every turn is annotated with rally-style pace notes so you always know what's coming. Curvature-scored routes Every road is color-graded by curvature. At a glance, see which sections are twisty and which are straight. Search for a destination and Kurvo shows you how the curves stack up across the entire route. Rally-style pace notes Upcoming turns are announced using rally co-driver notation - R3, L5, Hairpin - so you can read the road ahead like a stage. Choose between international (R/L) or Danish (H/V) notation. Voice-guided curve announcements Hear every curve before you reach it. Kurvo calls out turn direction, grade, and sequence so you can focus on the road. Set a minimum grade threshold to only hear the curves that matter to you. Freeride mode No destination? No problem. Start a freeride session and Kurvo scores the curves as you ride. Perfect for weekend rides and exploring new roads. Scenic route discovery Request curvy routes that prefer winding roads over highways. Avoid motorways, toll roads, or ferries - ride the roads you actually want to ride. Turn on OMG Route for the most twisted option. Plan on the web, drive on your phone Plan multi-stop routes at kurvo.app/planner and they show up on your phone, ready to drive. Trip history & curve ratings Every ride is saved. Review your routes, see your stats - distance, duration, top speed, curves conquered - and rate the best turns. Built for the ride - Works in portrait and landscape - Audio ducking lowers your music for voice cues, then brings it back - Control your music without leaving navigation - Background navigation with lock-screen guidance - Light and dark themes Kurvo+ unlocks OMG routes, the round-trip generator, GPX route import, and saved trips.
