The iPhone app is getting a makeover!

We have released a major update to the Bikenav iPhone app. The update addresses two of our biggest user requests: guided navigation and completely renovated clear and optimized map templates. New map templates make route planning even more accurate, as Maps now clearly show unpaved roads. This will help you choose the routes that best suit your bike and riding style. We've also made improvements to the zoom level controls and different navigation modes.
We have also brought a comprehensive weather information as part of app.bikenavi.fi route planning.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation

The app now actively guides you throughout your journey. You don't have to follow the route, as the app also tells you exactly when it's time to turn.

The choice is still yours: Although the new guidance makes driving effortless, you can still follow the route in the traditional way, directly from the map without active guidance – just like before.

  • Clear visual instructions: You can see the direction and distance of the next turn directly on the screen.

  • Audio guide: You can follow the route through headphones, allowing your phone to stay in your pocket or on a stand without disturbing your view.
  • Automatic rerouting: If you deviate from the planned route, the app will immediately calculate a new cycling-friendly route to your destination.

New map templates

We have updated all map templates in the app to make your route planning and navigation smoother, more accurate, and visually clearer.

The modern vector maps we use now allow for smoother panning and tilting of the view. The map remains razor-sharp at all zoom levels, but is still lightweight and fast to load on a mobile connection.

Unpaved roads

With the update, you can easily identify unpaved roads on the map by their orange color. This makes it easier to choose the right route and helps you predict the quality of the road surface at a glance. Information is navigation and clarity on the map.
