GPX Navigation for Motorcycles

Follow the motorcycle route you planned, on road or off it. Import a GPX and OffTrail saves the map around your route automatically. OffTrail is free. Riders can import GPX Tracks, generate routes and navigate in areas with limited or no mobile coverage — on iPhone and Android, with no account required.

GPX navigation built for riding

The core workflow is deliberately short: load a GPX Track and ride. OffTrail draws the Track on an off-road map, follows your position with course-up tracking and auto-zoom tuned for off-road pace, and warns you the moment you drift off the Track — with the bearing back to it — or start riding it the wrong way. Every ride is recorded automatically as a standard GPX file. No account needed. Your Tracks stay on your phone. Turn on Sync and they're copied to your other device through OffTrail.

Each GPX Track gets its own colour, and you can keep up to five favourites in the Garage. Riding a rally roadbook stage, a multi-day route split into daily Tracks, or a network of local trails, the navigation locks onto whichever Track you are actually riding.

Why offline matters on an adventure motorcycle

Adventure riding happens where coverage is worst: mountain passes, forest Tracks, remote interior regions, other countries where data roaming is expensive or absent. A navigation app that needs a live connection to draw its map fails exactly where you need it most. OffTrail saves the map around your route automatically. You can also download whole countries in Maps — more than 100 are available. The saved map, your position and the Track keep working in airplane mode. GPS itself never needs the internet.

Import a Track, or generate a route

If you already have a GPX file — from a tour organiser, a friend, or a route-planning site — open it from your phone's file manager, email or share menu and choose OffTrail. If you don't, OffTrail can generate the route: tap a point on the map (or type coordinates) and it generates an off-road route to it, or use Round Trip to generate a circular route up to 200 km that brings you back to where you started. For road riding there are two profiles — Road Fun favours curvy riding roads, Road Fast gets you there directly. Generating a new route needs a data connection; following it afterwards works offline. See the Off-Road Route Generation for how route generation works.

A trip, start to finish

Friday night, on Wi-Fi: the organiser's GPX goes into the app (iPhone, Android — or straight from Wikiloc), OffTrail saves the map around the Track, and the surface split tells you how much of Saturday is actually dirt. Saturday morning: phone on the bars, one tap, ride. Signal disappears after the second valley and nothing changes — the map, the line and the warnings are all local. When you take the wrong fork out of a village, the off-track warning gives you the distance back and a dashed line pointing at it. The ride saves itself as a GPX you can send to whoever missed it.

Building the route yourself instead? The Route Planner does the deliberate work on a big screen — several stops, your own Tracks, a dirt-versus-tarmac balance you choose — and hands the result to the app.

Designed to stay simple

There is no onboarding and no menu sprawl. No account needed. Your Tracks stay on your phone. Turn on Sync and they're copied to your other device through OffTrail. The app explains itself contextually: open it with no Tracks and the garage tells you what to do; open a GPX and you are one tap from riding. Everything in OffTrail is measured against "just load a Track and ride."
