Bikenavi – Routing

Bikenavi routingengine offers three ready-made basic modes, along with settings built around them for route customisation. It adapts routing entirely to your settings: forget formulaic route suggestions and precisely define road types, surfaces, and curviness according to your own preferences. The route's progress and structure are controlled using the selected mode and its contained parameters.

Separate driving profiles for motorcycles and bicycles ensure that route calculation always takes into account the specific needs of the chosen vehicle.

Initially, choose the desired routing mode: Adventure, Winding, or Direct. Additional settings can influence the nature of the route. In editing mode, the route can be viewed or modified as desired.

The route has been opened to edit mode. You can see the route's length and whether it includes unpaved roads. Roads marked in orange are unpaved. The route can be edited by adding and moving waypoints.

Different routing modes

Adventure

Adventure Seeks out minor roads for the route and maximises the proportion of gravel and unpaved roads. Uses its own basic settings and controls for fine-tuning the amount of unpaved road and road types.

Curvy

Curvy: Optimise the route to always take the most convoluted and winding roads possible. The mode includes its own basic settings and controls for the degree of winding.

Straightest

Straightest: It always chooses the most efficient and direct line from the starting point to the destination with its default settings and certain route constraints.

Additional route settings and limitations
