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.

Cruze Maps

Features
Read full description

Cruze Maps is navigation and driver intelligence built for Class-8 truck drivers and the fleets that run them. Cruze reads live public traffic-camera feeds and uses computer vision plus a physics-informed traffic model to anticipate stop-and-go phantom waves before you reach them, then surfaces an advisory suggested speed on your phone or your Apple CarPlay display. Every recommendation is advisory. You remain fully responsible for operating your vehicle at all times. Why smoother beats faster: easing into a slowdown instead of braking hard into it saves fuel, reduces wear on your truck, and helps settle the wave for everyone behind you. FEATURES - Truck-aware navigation with a clean, glanceable heads-up display - Advisory suggested speeds drawn from live traffic-camera intelligence - Apple CarPlay support, so advisories appear on your in-dash screen with eyes on the road - Sonic diagnostics: on-device vibration analysis that flags possible tire, engine, or suspension issues worth checking - Drive events: automatic logging of hard braking and rough road for your own record - A private trip black box and incident awareness for peace of mind - Driver profile with a personal safety score BUILT TO RIDE ALONGSIDE YOUR ELD Cruze Maps is a navigation and operations tool. It is not an electronic logging device and not an hours-of-service system. It works next to your certified ELD and does not replace it. ADVISORY, NEVER DIRECTIVE Everything Cruze shows is informational. Traffic conditions change, so use your own judgment, obey all posted speed limits and traffic laws, and keep your attention on the road. Cruze is starting in Texas and expanding from there.
