Kurviger Features
Planning a curvy motorcycle trip with Kurviger
Kurviger is a motorcycle route planner that favours curvy roads and slopes, while avoiding cities and highways. Find awesome backcountry roads that are great fun to ride on. Spend your time riding, not planning.
With the classic route planning you can find the most beautiful routes from your start to your destination. You can easily adjust the route planning to your personal needs to calculate your perfect route. If you are looking for new inspiration, you can also get inspired by an automatically generated round trip, just enter the start and distance and we will do the rest.
The round trip calculation is very easy. Simply set a starting point and a desired distance. If you already know in which direction you want to go, you can also give Kurviger an approximate direction. Kurviger will then create a suitable motorcycle tour. Calculated tours can be edited just like normal routes.
You can move waypoints or add new waypoints to plan your perfect tour.
Quite simply ride along a curvy motorcycle tour
With the app, you can, for example, directly drive your planned route in follow mode and simply start a tour spontaneously. You can also drive along imported routes directly or after your personal adjustment. With Kurviger Pro you can be guided through the navigation.
If you are looking for a full featured navigation solution, have a look at our Pro version.
Enjoy curvy GPS navigation everywhere in the world with Kurviger Pro. Reach your destination with a smile.
