Read full description

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 — 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. KEY FEATURES Route Planning - Smart place, address, and POI search powered by LocationIQ - Five purpose-built route profiles for different riding styles - Waypoint support for custom multi-stop routes - Quick access to home, work and saved favourites - Live elevation profile before starting Turn-by-Turn Navigation - Clear voice directions with improved consecutive-turn handling - Natural rounded distance announcements - Haptic feedback on every turn - Automatic rerouting when you go off course - Active turn-by-turn navigation with automatic rerouting - Configurable cockpit (speed, ETA, elevation, elapsed time) Personalised Experience - ETAs that learn from your actual riding pace over time - Metric or imperial units - Ride profiles for regular, cargo, MTB, road/gravel and e-scooter use, with a separate e-bike setting - The e-scooter profile helps with planning; local laws and traffic rules always apply - Landscape-optimised docked cockpit Ride History & Insights - Automatic ride recording and statistics - Distance, duration, average speed and elevation gain - GPX export of your actual track - Reorder stops on multi-waypoint routes Privacy by Design - No account or login ever required - Ride history, favourites and settings stored locally on your device - No ads, no advertising tracking and no selling of your data - Location used only for navigation PedalPilot uses specialist cycling routing and OpenStreetMap-based map data.

HUGO Tracker is for anyone who likes to move — on an electric scooter, on a bike, on a motorcycle or on foot. It is not just about counting kilometres: it is a place where riders get to see each other. Plan a route, let the app navigate you along it and save the ride when you are done. Eleven ways to move Scooter, bike, e-bike, motorcycle, enduro, car, running, walking, unicycle, e-skateboard and Onewheel®. On first launch you pick what you ride and the app narrows everything down to yours. Ride more than one thing? Switch with a single tap. Record your ride Switch on the tracker and the app keeps your route, speed, elevation and energy use. Before you set off you choose what you are on; running and walking need no machine at all. If the measured speed does not match your choice, the app asks when you save — it never changes it for you. Navigate along a route Plan a route by tapping the map, pull one in from Mapy.com or from a GPX file — then ride it. Navigation speaks out loud, calls turns ahead of time and tells you when you have left the route. The planner has profiles for road, gravel and mountain bike, can avoid a stretch you would rather skip, and says up front how much of the route runs on roads and how much on cycle paths or dirt tracks. Save your home address once and you are one tap from riding home. Not sure where to go? Loop around here offers three loops that bring you back to where you started. A map that works without a signal The map covers Europe from Iceland to the Canary Islands, the USA, Canada and Mexico, as well as the Dominican Republic and Haiti. You can plan a route across several countries. Frame the area you are heading to on the map and download it to your phone, so navigation keeps working where there is no network. In Czechia and Poland it shows chargers, workshops, viewpoints and other places worth a stop. The routing profile follows whatever you are riding. Show where you have been Share routes, photos and videos on the wall. Others comment, like and add their own. Turn a good ride into a video. The wall filters by category, so you see what you actually care about. Put your ride share card on your own photo, with the route coloured by speed. Post a machine, a meetup or a challenge to the wall too, always with your own text. Keep your machine in shape The garage holds your machines, their mileage and their service history. When something needs doing, you arrange it with a workshop right in the app. Pair a smart battery (JK, Daly, JBD or ANT BMS) and see its power and the voltage of every cell. Do not ride alone Meetups, group rides and challenges. All of it carries a category, and in Community you will find "who rode the most" leaderboards for each category separately. And when it is time for a break There is an arcade with dozens of games for while you charge. HUGO Tracker is free to download and use — ride recording, the map with its route planner and navigation, the community, meetups, challenges and games are open to everyone. Want more? A HUGO PRO or HUGO ULTRA subscription adds voice navigation, offline maps, GPX route import and export, battery range estimates, smart battery connection, an unlimited garage and ride videos of up to two minutes in Full HD. HUGO ULTRA also gives you videos without a watermark and Fleet for rental shops. The subscription renews automatically and you can cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.
