Travel Mode
Customize your travel mode in the app to fully customize the app to your needs. The selected mode is used by default for all route calculations and track logs.
- By foot: This mode is useful for routes designed for walking.
- Bicycle: This mode is useful for routes designed for cycling.
- Motorcycle: This mode is essentially similar to car mode, but also takes the capabilities of a motorcycle into account.
- Car: In this mode, the rules for a car are applied.
- Electric Car: If you drive an electric car, it's helpful that our program takes your fuel consumption into account. Enter your data here so it can be taken into account during navigation. In this mode, you won't see gas stations, but charging stations.
- Motorhome: Some roads are impassable with a campervan. Select this mode to ensure our program considers your entered dimensions.
- Truck: If you select this travel mode, our program will take your vehicle's restrictions into account.
ATTENTION! If the route is created in By foot or Bicycle mode, navigation will not be available. For this route, the "Follow the line" option is displayed. This allows you to follow the route independently, without instructions.
ATTENTION! If you're driving in EV, Motorhome, or Truck mode, always check the battery and selected roads for proper performance. If in doubt, adjust your route yourself.
