Drives worth taking Tell RiveDrive where you're going and it suggests the curvy way there through Germany's best roads, not just the fast one. Have an afternoon free? Ask for a round trip: pick the length, how twisty and how scenic, and get up to three loops that bring you home. Keep motorways and ferries out with one switch, add stops, avoid a road you don't like, and save the drives you love. Bring your own GPX track and RiveDrive follows it turn for turn. Drives from the community Browse routes other members saved near you, preview them on the map, and drive them yourself. Every drive has a link and a QR code, so sharing a favourite road takes one tap. Weather along the way See the weather where you are, the next 24 hours with the chance of rain, and the week ahead. Before a drive, choose your departure time and see the forecast pinned along your route at the moment you'll pass through, and what's waiting at the finish. Everything you need on the road Search for fuel, coffee, food or anything else with a tap. See fuel prices on the map before you pull in, check opening hours, read reviews, and save your favourite spots to your own lists. Drive together Turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance and CarPlay. Start a free ride on the spot or schedule a ride for the weekend, invite friends with a link or QR code, and see everyone on the map in real time. Start a group ride while you're already navigating, without stopping. Talk to your crew hands-free with the in-app walkie-talkie. Your crew, your community Join a private crew or discover open communities built around a passion, a region or a brand. Plan rides in crew chats with photos and locations, share the moments, add your cars to your profile, and meet people who drive the way you do. Privacy you can trust Your data, chats and location are encrypted in transit and at rest, and you decide who sees where you are and when.
