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.
