Why this exists
Two of us rode the Trans Euro Trail across Finland on enduro bikes. The riding was perfect. The navigation was a mess — and that's why this app exists.
Every morning started the same way. A dozen taps across two or three apps just to get the right track loaded, pointing the right way, on the right map. Miss a turn — usually because an app did something inconsistent — and getting back on the line became its own project. At night, a different app again, to find out how far we'd actually gone.
Three imperfect tools, one flat battery, and all of it asking for attention that belonged on the trail. You shouldn't have to maintain a tech stack in the middle of a forest. You came to ride.
It cost us things, too. Waypoints slid past unnoticed. The ones we did stop at were often not worth it, while the good ones went by while we were reading corners instead of a screen — which is where your eyes belong on a bike. We met riders bringing a mate in a car just to manage all this. That shouldn't be necessary any more.
The part that mattered most was safety. Trails have surprises. A washout after heavy rain, a fallen tree, a rutted descent that wasn't there last season. Nobody tells you it's coming, so you find out at the worst possible moment — and it ends in a dropped bike, a puncture, or worse.
So I built the thing I wanted.
