Trail Ride Get Trail Ride

Stay on the track. Even with zero bars.

Offroad navigation for adventure motorcycles. Load a TET stage or any GPX, save the map along it, and ride. Miss a turn and Trail Ride shows the way back to the line in metres. It never reroutes you onto tarmac.

  • Maps work without signal
  • Never reroutes your GPX
  • No account needed

Why Trail Ride

Built for where the road ends.

Phone navigation is made for roads. On a trail it loses signal, wobbles under trees and keeps pulling you back to the tarmac. Trail Ride follows your line and nothing else.

Bring the whole TET

Open a GPX file, or paste a link from the TET site, a forum or a friend’s Google Drive. Check every track before it’s saved, then sort stages into trips and plan them day by day.

Missed the turn? See the line.

A dashed line points straight back to your track, with the distance on it. No U-turn nagging, no new route. Your GPX stays your GPX.

Know what’s under the wheels

Before you commit a day, see how much of a track is gravel, dirt or tarmac and how much it climbs. Where the map data is thin, Trail Ride says so instead of guessing.

From GPX to trail in three steps

  1. Load the track

    Open a GPX file or paste a link. Any GPX works: a TET stage, a club ride, one you drew yourself.

  2. Save the map before you leave

    Download the map along your trip on Wi-Fi. It’s cut on your phone, so we never receive your route.

  3. Ride, and record it

    Follow the line with gloves on and the sun on the screen. Record the ride and export it as GPX to share or ride again.

Questions

Will it try to send me back to the road?

No. Trail Ride follows the GPX you give it and nothing else. Leave the track and it shows where the line is and how far, and you decide how to get back. The only road leg is getting to the start of a track, and that goes to your usual navigation app.

Does it work with no mobile signal?

Yes, once the map for your trip is downloaded. Saved tracks, the map, navigation and recording all work without signal. You only need internet to import from a link and to download the map.

Where do I get GPX tracks?

Anywhere: the Trans Euro Trail, club rides, forum posts, a friend’s file. Paste the link or open the file. No track yet? Press Record and make your own.

Can I use it with gloves on, in full sun?

That’s what it’s designed for: big touch targets, a track line that stays loud, and a Bright sunlight mode that pales the map and thickens the line. The screen can stay awake for the whole ride.

Do I need an account?

No. Install it and import a track. No sign-up, no email, no ads.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone and Android, from the App Store and Google Play.
