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.

Road Sorties is navigation for drivers and motorcyclists who choose the road as the destination. Whether you live for tight switchbacks, alpine passes, or coastal highways, Road Sorties plans routes that prioritize what makes driving worth doing — not just the fastest line on a freeway. CURVY ROADS ROUTING Flip on "Prefer Curvy" and watch your route shift from interstates to the kind of roads people drive for the sake of it. Tuned for sports cars, motorcycles, and anyone planning a weekend ride. SCENIC HIGHLIGHTS See which stretches of your route are officially scenic — the overlay glows on the map so you know exactly where to slow down, roll down the window, and take it in. TURN-BY-TURN VOICE NAVIGATION Now with CarPlay. Clear voice cues that duck your music or podcast during instructions and hand the audio back when they're done. No fighting with your media app over who controls the speaker. MULTI-LEG ROUTING Plan road trips with multiple stops. Set different preferences per leg — fastest to the trailhead, curvy roads on the way home. RV ROUTING Tell Road Sorties your rig's height, width, length and weight, and every route is built around it — avoiding low clearances, weight-limited bridges, and tunnels that ban propane. The route report tells you what it steered around, and why. KEEP NAVIGATING WHEN YOU LOSE SIGNAL Save a route before you leave and turn-by-turn guidance, rerouting and voice keep working with no connection at all. This is the routing data, not map imagery — areas you haven't already viewed will be blank while the map catches up. SHAREABLE ROUTES Build a route, share a link. Friends open it and load the exact same waypoints. No account required. PRIVACY FIRST No user accounts. No tracking. No ad networks. Your location stays on your device. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is the route itself, and only when you choose to share it. BUILT FOR THE REAL DRIVE • Continues navigating when your screen locks or you switch apps • Off-route detection tuned to avoid flapping on weak GPS • Designed for portrait mounting on a handlebar or dashboard Stop letting your navigation app pick boring routes. Road Sorties is for drivers who want the journey to count. No accounts, no tracking, no stored queries. Your trips stay yours.
