GPX Navigation for Adventure Motorcycles

OffTrail is a free, offline-first GPX navigation app designed for adventure motorcycle riding. Riders can import GPX tracks, generate routes, download whole-country offline maps and navigate in areas with limited or no mobile coverage — on iPhone and Android, with no account required.

GPX navigation built for riding

The core workflow is deliberately short: load a GPX track and ride. OffTrail draws the track on an off-road map, follows your position with course-up tracking and auto-zoom tuned for off-road pace, and warns you the moment you drift off the track — with the bearing back to it — or start riding it the wrong way. Every ride is recorded automatically as a standard GPX file that stays on your phone.

Up to five GPX tracks can be loaded at the same time, each in its own colour. Riding a rally roadbook stage, a multi-day route split into daily tracks, or a network of local trails, the navigation locks onto whichever track you are actually riding.

Why offline matters on an adventure motorcycle

Adventure riding happens where coverage is worst: mountain passes, forest tracks, remote interior regions, other countries where data roaming is expensive or absent. A navigation app that needs a live connection to draw its map fails exactly where you need it most. OffTrail downloads entire countries as offline maps — more than 100 countries are available — so the map, your position and the track all keep working with the phone in airplane mode. GPS itself never needs the internet.

Import a track, or create a route

If you already have a GPX file — from a tour organiser, a friend, or a route-planning site — open it from your phone's file manager, email or share menu and choose OffTrail. If you don't, OffTrail can build the route: tap a point on the map (or type coordinates) and it generates an off-road route to it, or use Round Trip to generate a circular route up to 200 km that brings you back to where you started. For the road sections of a trip there are two on-road profiles — Road Fun favours curvy riding roads, Road Fast gets you there directly. Generating a new route needs a data connection; following it afterwards works offline. See the off-road route planner for how route generation works.

Designed to stay simple

There is no onboarding, no account for normal use, and no menu sprawl. The app explains itself contextually: open it with no tracks and the garage tells you what to do; open a GPX and you are one tap from riding. Everything in OffTrail is measured against "just load a track and ride."
