NodeHop plans and navigates routes on the numbered-node network (knooppunten) — the signed cycling and walking network across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and France. Just describe your ride. "A 40 km loop from here with a coffee stop." "Kortrijk to Ghent on quiet roads." NodeHop builds a clean node-to-node route in seconds — then guides you along it, junction by junction. PLAN BY ASKING • Conversational planner — say what you want; get a real route on the node network • Loops from where you are, or point-to-point between towns • Tweak in a tap: shorter, longer, flatter, quieter, reverse, add a coffee stop • Cycling and walking networks RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE • Native turn-by-turn guidance to the next numbered node, with a clear turn arrow • Spoken cues in your language and accent, with automatic off-route rerouting • Live elevation profile, speed, distance and arrival time in one tidy dashboard • A gentle buzz as you reach each node — eyes on the road, not the screen • Live weather and a km/mi toggle ALONG THE WAY • POI pins for cafés, water, toilets and bike shops • Rider-sourced bike-friendliness ratings help you pick the good stops YOURS, EVERYWHERE • Save routes and sync them across your devices • Share a route by QR code or link • Export to GPX, Garmin or Wahoo • A clean glance on Apple Watch and Wear OS PRIVACY-FIRST No tracking, no ads.
