GPS Motorcycle Navigation App. The best ever. Available today!
I’m very proud to bring you my new app Scenic. It’s probably the best gps motorcycle navigation app ever made. You can download it from the App Store and try it for free today.
Scenic aims to be the app alternative to expensive GPS motorcycle navigation units like the Garmin Zumo and TomTom Rider. It offers full turn-by-turn and voice guidance, route creation, GPX import, ride tracking and many more specialised features for motorcycling. As the only app of its kind it can convert any GPX route or track into a navigable route, even tracks with thousands of points. This all together, I believe, makes it the best motorcycle navigation app out there at the moment.
Plan, navigate and document your Motorcycle Trips with ease and enjoy the Scenery and the freedom of the road. No more time waisted on finding, editing, converting and transferring Scenic Routes to your GPS device. Why carry around an extra and expensive GPS unit while your phone can do it all?
Key Features
- Turn by Turn & Voice Navigation
- Turn any GPX Route or Track into a navigable route
- Offline Maps
- Create routes by dropping up to 100 via points
- Turn a previous trip into a navigable route
- Export trips and routes to GPX
- Scenic Route Database
- Trip Tracker & Recorder
- Syncing between devices
- Multiple Map- and UI color schemes
- Trip sharing on Social Channels

PLANNING:
With Scenic you can browse for a Scenic Route in your neighbourhood (or anywhere else). Look at the reviews and ratings and if you like it, start Turn by Turn and Voice Navigation. Can’t find a route you like?… import one from GPX! Scenic’s very own ‘Scenify’ algorithm converts any GPX route or track into a navigable route, with Turn by Turn and Voice Guidance. Don’t have a GPX file?… simply create a route yourself in minutes by dropping upto 100 pins as via points.
NAVIGATING:
Scenic guides you along your route with full GPS Turn by Turn and Voice Guidance. There are many options and settings to configure the navigation just the way you like it. For example: Auto Zoom Sensitivity, 3D/2D map, Orientation Lock mode (for those that like the sharp turns), NorthUp/HeadingUp, Speeding Alerts, Power Saver and many more useful features.
DOCUMENTING:
Save those Road Trip Memories with Scenic! While you ride or drive your trip is being recorded… take pictures and add comments along the way. Save where you were, what you’ve seen, how fast you were going and much more. Even if you’re not navigating a route you can still record your trip. Wanna ride that same trip again? Turn the trip into a navigable route!

The best Motorcycle Navigation app is almost ready
The last 2 months Scenic, motomappers’ new app, has been tested by almost 500 users all over the world. Reactions of the beta testers have been overwhelming. Thank you all for the kind words, elaborate bug reports and most of all your positive criticism!
Now, about 250 fixes and improvement later, we’re in the final stages of the test. A few more bugs to fix, I’s to dot and T’s to cross and it’s ready to go to the App Store.
For the curious ones, here’s a preview of the App Store screenshots.
Cheers and thanks,
