AuraCurve
Read full descriptionHide full description
The motorcycle navigator that loves curves. AuraCurve plans routes that are curvy, not short β with its own worldwide routing engine, loop rides by duration, fuel planning and true offline navigation. No account, no tracking. CURVY ROUTING, WORLDWIDE A purpose-built routing engine that truly scores curves β one level of quality across the whole world, not just Europe. You decide how curvy: from direct to maximum twisties. Gravel and trails are one switch away. LOOP RIDES BY DURATION Tell AuraCurve how long you want to ride β it proposes three loops in different directions, on real curvy roads, without riding the same road back. CURVE BAND AHEAD See what's coming: the band of upcoming curves in the HUD and roundabouts with drawn arms β readable at a glance from the handlebar. FUEL PLANNING AS LOGIC Fuel stops are decided before the ride, not searched for while riding. AuraCurve plans them into the route and continues guidance after you fill up. OFFLINE MAPS & OFFLINE ROUTING Download regions as packages. When the network drops, an embedded routing engine keeps calculating on your iPhone β with the same curve costing as online. CARPLAY Full navigation on the car display: destinations, loops, lane guidance and voice prompts β the phone stays in your pocket. PLAN ON THE BIG SCREEN The web planner at auracurve.app uses the same routing engine as the app: set waypoints, tune curviness, import or export GPX β then send the finished tour to your iPhone as a QR code. The plan lives in the link, no account needed. GPX IN AND OUT Import tours from other planners as GPX, take your own with you as GPX. 19 LANGUAGES Interface and voice prompts speak your language β from German to Japanese. PRIVATE, NO ACCOUNT No registration, no tracking, no community database. Your tours belong to you. FAIR PRICING Try AuraCurve free for 14 days with everything included. After that: a yearly subscription (auto-renews, cancel anytime in your App Store settings) or a one-time lifetime purchase β yours forever. No account, no sign-up; purchases run entirely through Apple. Map data Β© OpenStreetMap contributors.

Roaden

Roaden is the app for planning, keeping and riding motorcycle routes. PLAN EVERY LEG YOUR WAY Set a start and a finish on the map and add the stops that matter: fuel, a viewpoint, somewhere to eat. Choose how each leg should ride: fast, balanced, curvy or all the bends, with or without motorways and tracks. See distance, time and climb before you set off. RIDE ON EVEN WITHOUT SIGNAL Spoken turn-by-turn guidance along your own route, not one somebody else picked. The map along the route is downloaded before you leave, so it keeps working in the mountains where the signal doesn't reach. Start far from the beginning and it takes you there; leave the route and it finds you the way back. On your phone and on CarPlay. Download your routes, or whole regions and countries, to ride where the signal doesn't reach. WARN OTHERS OF WHAT'S ON THE ROAD Bad surface, animals or a closed road: warn others in one tap, hands on the bars, and hear about the ones on your route. When it was said is always shown. And fixed speed cameras, by voice. VISIBLE ON THE MAP Turn it on in your profile and, when you ride, you'll see the other visible riders near you, and they'll see you. When you stop, you're gone from the map. In your meet-ups, the group sees where you are. RIDE WITHOUT A ROUTE AND RECORD IT No plan today? The map follows you, with your speed. Record the ride and get your moving time, top and average speed, lean to each side and highest point, even with no signal. It goes to your routes, private. BRING YOUR ROUTES Upload a GPX from another app and it stays exactly as it is: the same points, never redrawn. EXPLORE AND MEET UP Find the routes other riders publish near you and make them yours. Organise meet-ups with a day, a time and a pace, with the weather forecast for that morning, choose who comes and talk to the group before you ride. On the day, see where the others are on the map. Meet-ups with a meeting point, its street and βTake me thereβ, with a route or without. Tell the group when you need fuel or a break. And reviews with photos of the routes you ride. YOUR ROUTES, ALWAYS WITH YOU Keep routes with photos and notes, publish them or keep them private, and export them to GPX. One subscription with everything, and 14 days free to try it.
