PedalPilot is a free, privacy-first cycling navigation app built for everyday riders and commuters who want genuinely bike-focused routing and guidance. Plan your ride with up to five cycling-optimised route options β balanced (safety and comfort first), fast, flat, or dedicated mountain bike trail and enduro variants. Add waypoints for multi-stop journeys, save home and work for one-tap starts, and see a live elevation preview before you go. Once on the road you get significantly improved turn-by-turn voice guidance that now intelligently combines consecutive turns ("turn right and then immediately turn left") and speaks natural rounded distances instead of random numbers. Voice instructions are fully supported in English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian.
