Route Studio vs Motonav

Route Studio is a next-generation routing app built for people who are tired of cycling and running the same roads over and over. Instead of tracing routes manually, you set the distance and dial in the personality of the ride: how punchy the climbing should be, whether you want straight or twisty roads, busy or quiet, paved or gravel, and more. Route Studio combines those preferences with detailed road and surface data to generate routes that feel intentional, varied, and genuinely interesting. Your route becomes the destination. Every time you generate, you can explore a new way out the door, whether that’s a fast local loop, a long scenic day on curvy back roads, or a point-to-point adventure between two nearby pins that somehow turns into a perfect 100-mile route. Under the hood, Route Studio runs on a large computing platform that searches across massive areas (from your neighborhood to an entire region or state), balancing multiple metrics to build routes that match your preferences: scenery, elevation, road type, surface (paved vs. gravel), traffic levels, curvature, and more. The result is a route that feels deliberate and perfectly tuned throughout. Key features * AI-assisted route generation for cycling, running, and driving * Route preferences for scenery, elevation, road type, surface, and overall “feel” * Loop from a given start, “best loop in area,” and point-to-point routes, including long routes between nearby start/end points * Turn-by-turn navigation so you can follow your route directly on your device * Easy export and download to other apps and devices (GPX, turn-by-turn PDF, and more) This app uses the most comprehensive paved and unpaved road surface dataset, along with proprietary scenic and curvature data created specifically for this purpose and used exclusively within the app. Premium subscription A Premium subscription unlocks the full Route Studio experience: * Unlimited route generations * Access to advanced route preferences and long-distance, scenic routing * Full point-to-point routing with your chosen distance and style Route Studio is built for cyclists, runners, and drivers who want their routes to be more than just the shortest path from A to B. If you like the idea that “your route is your destination,” and you want every ride, run, and drive to have something new, this app is for you.

Motonav is turn-by-turn navigation built for motorcyclists: massive, glanceable directions you can read in a fraction of a second at speed, on a dark high-contrast map that works in bright sunlight. CURVY ROADS, NOT JUST FAST ONES Choose your ride before you go: Fastest, No Highways, or Curvy. Curvy routes you onto the twisty back roads riders actually want - trading a few minutes for a far better ride - while steering clear of interstates and dead-straight slab. You get full turn-by-turn the whole way, and if you wander off, it reroutes onto a fresh curvy line from wherever you are. RIDE-FIRST NAVIGATION - Huge turn instructions with live distance countdown and the road name - Turn arrows drawn from the real shape of the junction, measured from the road itself - a hard right gets a hard-right arrow, a gentle fork gets a fork - A "then" preview so you always know the move after this one - Voice guidance timed for riding, not driving - Automatic rerouting when you go your own way - Current speed always visible, with the posted speed limit shown as a real US speed-limit sign - Arrival time, time left, and distance to go in one glanceable bar WIDGETS, CONTROL CENTER, AND SIRI Put your favorite destinations one tap away: Home Screen widgets in three sizes, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets, and a Control Center button that starts navigation without unlocking. Say "Hey Siri, take me to the diner in Motonav" and you're riding - add a stop, stop navigation, or ask for your ETA, all by voice - and use those same actions in your own Shortcuts automations. LIVE VEHICLE DATA (OPTIONAL) Pair a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter and Motonav becomes a dashboard for your bike or car: RPM, coolant temperature, voltage, and every sensor your vehicle exposes - plus computed gear position, fuel economy and range, and charging-system health, remembered per vehicle. (Requires a compatible Bluetooth LE OBD-II adapter.) BUILT FOR GLOVES Every control is oversized and high-contrast. No fiddly gestures, no tiny buttons - designed to be used on a handlebar mount. LOCK SCREEN + DYNAMIC ISLAND Directions continue on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a live route progress bar - no need to keep the app open. YOUR RIDE, YOUR RULES - Avoid highways with one tap, recalculated instantly - Rate roads good or bad as you ride, saved to your account - Favorites and recent destinations one tap from the home screen - Give favorites your own names, like "Mom's" instead of a street address RIDE WITH FRIENDS Add riding buddies by the email they use for MotoNav and share your location - all the time, or not at all. Only friends who've accepted you can see where you are, only your latest position, and turning it off drops you off their maps at once. Friends show up on your map at home and during navigation, and you can ride straight to one. PLAN ON THE WEB, RIDE ON THE BIKE Motonav has a companion planner at motonav.co. Draw a route on the big screen - or describe the ride you're dreaming about and let the AI copilot sketch it onto the map - then save it. It's on your phone before your helmet's on. GPX works everywhere: import a track a friend sent you (AirDrop it straight into the app, or pick it from Files right on the Where-to screen), and export any saved route to share back. Saved routes start from wherever you are - join a friend's route partway along and the directions pick up right there. OPTIONAL ACCOUNT, REAL BACKUP Create a free account and your favorites, recents, road ratings, saved routes, and settings follow you - through reinstalls, onto new phones. Or skip it entirely and just ride: navigation never requires an account. Motonav is built by a rider, rebuilt from the ground up around one idea: do turn-by-turn brilliantly before anything else.
