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.

Features

Your GPS says you're in the middle of the sea. Your maps are spinning, and your location is miles away from reality. Sound familiar? CAMEL is built for the road when your GPS can’t be trusted. Instead of relying on satellite signals that jump, spoof, or disappear, CAMEL runs a steady, simulated guide alongside your drive. You get clear turn-by-turn and lane-by-lane cues that stay on track, even when the satellites don't. ---------------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS 1. Enter your origin and destination (or tap the map to drop pins). 2. CAMEL builds your route with full turn-by-turn directions. 3. Preview every step, distance, street names, and maneuver instructions. 4. Start the simulation and follow along in a 3D navigating view. 5. Control the pace, pause anytime, skip ahead, or jump to any point on the route. CAMEL doesn't track your live GPS position during navigation. That's the point. It uses a smart simulation engine to follow your pre-calculated route, giving you a heads-up display of exactly what's coming. Now you can stay on track even if every satellite signal in the sky is compromised. ---------------------------------------- FEATURES - Comprehensive Turn-by-Turn Simulation: Covers every maneuver type, including complex roundabouts, forks, merges, highway ramps, and U-turns. - Lane-Level Guidance: See exactly which lane to be in with highlighted arrows. - 3D Camera Tracking: Immersive pitched view with forward look-ahead, just like premium navigation apps. - Dynamic Pace Control: Adjust simulation speed from a slow crawl to highway pace to match your driving conditions. - Smart Speed Model: Automatically slows for sharp turns, roundabouts, and upcoming maneuvers. - Dark & Light Mode: Automatic system-level switching or manual toggle. - Favorite Places: Save locations you visit often for quick route building. - Reposition on Route: Tap anywhere on the route to jump to that point. - Pause & Resume: Stop the simulation anytime and pick up where you left off. ---------------------------------------- BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD GPS spoofing and jamming have made navigation unreliable across the Gulf and beyond. Drivers are being routed through wrong roads. Delivery riders show up in the middle of the sea. Emergency services are struggling with positioning. CAMEL was built as a direct response to this crisis. It is a fallback navigation tool that works independently of live GPS tracking. Rehearse unfamiliar routes before driving. Follow along during your journey. Know every turn in advance. ---------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER CAMEL is a route rehearsal and simulation tool, not a replacement for real-time GPS navigation. Always follow actual road conditions, traffic signs, and local driving laws. Use CAMEL as your backup, not your only navigator.
