OffTrail

Read full description

OffTrail is free, offline-first adventure navigation built for motorcycles, 4Γ—4s, SSV/UTVs, bicycles and overland explorers. No ads. No subscriptions. Just explore. NAVIGATE ANYWHERE Pick a destination and let OffTrail build the route. Choose how you want to ride, from paved roads to off-road tracks, or create a Round Trip of 25, 50, 100, 150 or 200 km that brings you back to where you started. See distance, time, elevation and surface information before you go. FOLLOW ANY GPX Already have a route? Import GPX files from Files, AirDrop, email or the iOS share sheet and ride. Keep up to five tracks visible at once, each with its own colour. Organise tracks and recordings into collections and keep important places as waypoints. TURN-BY-TURN OffTrail shows upcoming turns and distances directly on the ride screen, with spoken directions to help keep your eyes on the trail. Turn guidance also works directly from GPX tracks without requiring a data connection. Go off track and OffTrail shows the distance and direction to the closest re-entry point. Wrong Way detection warns you if you're heading back along the track. ROUTES BUILT FOR ADVENTURE OffTrail isn't limited to the fastest road between two points. Choose routing profiles designed for motorcycles, 4Γ—4s, bicycles and different kinds of riding, including Road Fun and Road Fast. Route calculation requires a network connection. Once your route and maps are ready, navigation can continue offline. OFFLINE MAPS Download maps before you leave and keep navigating when coverage disappears. OffTrail's own basemap puts the adventure network first: forestry roads, tracks, paths and trails remain easy to see instead of disappearing beneath the urban road network. Satellite imagery is also available when online. CARPLAY Bring OffTrail to your vehicle display. See your route and position, browse tracks and recent destinations, search for places and POIs, get native turn cards and spoken directions, and navigate using downloaded maps without mobile coverage. Start a ride on the phone and continue on CarPlay. GROUP RIDE Create a Group Ride and share a short code with your friends. Up to 15 riders can see each other live on the map. Temporary signal loss won't immediately make someone disappear, and sharing ends with the session. Group Ride is opt-in. Ride solo and your location isn't shared. RECORD YOUR ADVENTURES Recording can start automatically and continue while the screen is locked, or use Record mode to create a named recording and add waypoints along the way. Export your rides as GPX whenever you want.
