Dustrek is the GPS app for trail, enduro and offroad motorcycle routes that works with no signal. Download the map, record your tracks, follow GPX routes with off-route alerts and ride as a group, seeing your friends on the map. Built for the handlebar: big buttons you can use with gloves, a screen you can read in the sun, and handlebar remote support. OFFLINE MAPS: RIDE WITH NO SIGNAL Out in the hills there is no coverage, and with Dustrek it doesn't matter. Download the whole map of Spain or Portugal before you leave and ride dirt roads and trails offline: the map, recording, following a route and your saved routes all keep working. You see the size before you download. RECORD AND FOLLOW MOTORCYCLE ROUTES • Record your ride point by point: distance, moving time, elevation gain and speed. • Load a GPX route and follow it on the map. If you leave the track, you get an alert. • "Take me to the track": gets you back to the route with our own routing engine for Spain and Portugal. • Mark a ford, a gate, a viewpoint or a breakdown with one tap. • Gas stations on your route: the next one, with its price and the date of the price. • Import and export GPX: your tracks are yours. • Screen lock, clean map and handlebar remotes with keys. EXPLORE: OTHER RIDERS' ROUTES • A map of the community's public routes. Tap one to open it. • Filter by motorcycle, bike or on foot, by distance, elevation gain and difficulty, and search by town. • Save favorites, make lists for your next trip and follow other riders. • Everyone has a profile with their public routes. • You decide who sees each of your routes: PUBLIC, MY GROUPS or ONLY ME. • Report what shouldn't be there and block anyone you want. GROUP RIDES • Create your riding group and invite with a code, a link or a QR. • Plan rides with a date, up to five routes and notes, and see who's coming. • While riding you see every friend on the map, with alerts when someone goes off route or falls behind. • Crash detection: if a group member's bike stays down, the group sees it. • ASK FOR HELP: alerts your group and shows your coordinates in large type to read out to emergency services. Dustrek helps you ask for help, but it does not call emergency services for you and does not replace a phone with signal or a satellite beacon. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. TRAIL, ENDURO, 4X4… AND BIKE AND HIKING TOO Dustrek is built for trail and offroad riding, but every route states its activity: road, trail and enduro motorcycles, 4x4, quad and buggy; road, gravel and mountain bike (MTB); hiking and running. FREE OR PRO Free, always: record and follow routes, GPX, "take me to the track", gas stations, satellite with signal, one offline country, EXPLORE, profiles, favorites and lists, and joining groups. Dustrek Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription: both countries offline, satellite for your routes with no signal, and creating groups. Whoever organizes pays: if the group's owner has Pro, the whole group rides with it. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. If you stop paying, nothing is deleted. Payment is charged to your Apple account and the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe. YOUR DATA No ads and no tracking. Your routes are never sold. Sign in with your email, with Apple or with Google (16 or older) and delete your account anytime from SETTINGS. Mind the rules: Dustrek shows you tracks, not which ones you may ride. Checking local access rules is the rider's job. Terms of Use: https://dustrek.com/terminos Privacy: https://dustrek.com/privacidad Support: hola@dustrek.com
