Ride your event with confidence, even where there's no cell signal. OnTheRoute downloads your event's course and everything along it — one time, while you have signal — so the map, the route, and the services keep working offline for the whole ride. Enter the 6-letter code from your organizer and OnTheRoute pulls down the route map and points of interest for that event. After that, no signal needed. WHAT YOU GET • Offline map of the full course — the route line over a real basemap, with no data connection. • Near me — fuel, food, water, restrooms, bike shops and control points close to you, nearest first. • Ahead vs behind — on the route, see at a glance what's still coming up; places you've already passed tuck away behind a toggle. • Map view mode — pan up the course and list what's around a spot a few miles ahead to plan your next stop. • Tap any place for its name, distance, address, phone (tap to call) and hours, with an open-in-Maps link. • Category filters — show only what you need: just water, just food, or everything at once. • Control points and time stations — clearly flagged so you always know where the next one is. BUILT FOR THE RIDE Long gravel days, centuries, ultra-distance and multi-day events put your phone in a pocket for hours, often with no service. OnTheRoute is made for exactly that: download once, then it's fully offline. No scrolling a data-hungry map hoping for a bar of signal. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. No tracking. OnTheRoute uses your location only while the app is open, to show where you are and what's ahead. It does not run in the background and it never shares your location with anyone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Get your event's 6-letter code from the organizer. 2. Enter it — the route downloads automatically. 3. Roll out. The map, the route and every stop work with no signal. Whether you're chasing a personal best or you just want to know where the next water stop is, OnTheRoute keeps the course — and everything on it — in your pocket, online or off.
