PedalPilot is a free, privacy-first cycling navigation app built for everyday riders and commuters who want genuinely bike-focused routing and guidance. Plan your ride with up to five cycling-optimised route options β balanced (safety and comfort first), fast, flat, or dedicated mountain bike trail and enduro variants. Add waypoints for multi-stop journeys, save home and work for one-tap starts, and see a live elevation preview before you go. Once on the road you get significantly improved turn-by-turn voice guidance that now intelligently combines consecutive turns ("turn right and then immediately turn left") and speaks natural rounded distances instead of random numbers. Voice instructions are fully supported in English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian. KEY FEATURES Route Planning - Smart place, address, and POI search powered by LocationIQ - Five purpose-built route profiles for different riding styles - Waypoint support for custom multi-stop routes - Quick access to home, work and saved favourites - Live elevation profile before starting Turn-by-Turn Navigation - Clear voice directions with improved consecutive-turn handling - Natural rounded distance announcements - Haptic feedback on every turn - Automatic rerouting when you go off course - Active turn-by-turn navigation with automatic rerouting - Configurable cockpit (speed, ETA, elevation, elapsed time) Personalised Experience - ETAs that learn from your actual riding pace over time - Metric or imperial units - Ride profiles for regular, cargo, MTB, road/gravel and e-scooter use, with a separate e-bike setting - The e-scooter profile helps with planning; local laws and traffic rules always apply - Landscape-optimised docked cockpit Ride History & Insights - Automatic ride recording and statistics - Distance, duration, average speed and elevation gain - GPX export of your actual track - Reorder stops on multi-waypoint routes Privacy by Design - No account or login ever required - Ride history, favourites and settings stored locally on your device - No ads, no advertising tracking and no selling of your data - Location used only for navigation PedalPilot uses specialist cycling routing and OpenStreetMap-based map data.
