Discover the Beta version of our GPS application for iPhone
We’ve got great news for tech-savvy bikers! iPhone users can now access the Beta version of our GPS application specially designed for motorcycle travel.

Over 10,000 km covered by our testers
Thanks to our first users, more than 10,000 km have already been covered with our GPS application dedicated to motorcycle travel on iPhone. These journeys have often taken place in difficult conditions, particularly on routes such as the famous Route des Grandes Alpes, which was already covered in snow.
High-performance GPS, even in harsh environments
Our testers put the application through its paces in complex environments, such as closed passes, mountain roads and unexpected route changes. The aim is to ensure that our GPS offers reliable navigation and adapts quickly to obstacles, enhancing the experience of every biker.
