Ridebot - Navigation GPS

RideBot is the voice-guided GPS navigation app that doesn't require maps and it works without mounting your iPhone on the handlebars. Used by mountain bikers who love to explore new tracks and still want to enjoy their ride.

Instead of always showing you what's next, RideBot tells you what to do when needed. Human brain cannot concentrate on terrain and read maps in the same time. This is why RideBot speaks to you so that you relax and have fun even when riding new and unknown tracks.

It is designed to work off-road, where traditional navigation solutions usually don't work. It uses virtual cues so that it doesn't need a traditional map or a road network.

RideBot is simple. It has only the features you absolutely need while riding.
