Velorki: GPS Bike Navigation
Offline route planner, tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Free, private, no account. Plan, navigate and record on the phone, offline too. Your routes and rides stay with you, synced only through your own iCloud or Google Drive.
Velorki plans bike routes, guides you along them and records your rides, all on your iPhone and offline too. Bike navigation, route planner, ride tracker and bike computer: one free app. No account, no sign-up.
Your routes and rides stay with you: on your iPhone, or synced through your own iCloud or Google Drive, never through our servers. The code is public, so anyone can check that. Export them as GPX, FIT or TCX anytime.
PLANNING
• Tap waypoints on the map and get a route for the bike you are on: touring, road, gravel, mountain bike, or the direct way.
• Loops from your door: say how far you want to ride and, if you like, one place to pass, and Velorki proposes round trips that come back to where you started.
• Alternative routes, an elevation profile and the surfaces ahead; colour the route by gradient, surface, wind or rain.
• Search places, save routes to your library, and download a region to use it all without a connection.
• Plan in the browser at app.velorki.com, signed in to the same iCloud or Google account: your library is there, and Plus if you have it.
MAP AND WEATHER
• A cycle map drawn from the routing data, offline: bike paths and lanes, one-way streets, steps and climbs.
• Stops on the map: water, cafés, toilets, bike repair and more, also along the route ahead.
• Rain radar, wind and clouds on the map, with a time slider into the next hours.
• The wind and rain along your route for the time you leave.
NAVIGATION
• Turn-by-turn directions with spoken cues, also with the screen locked, also for routes you import.
• Leave the route and choose what happens: a way back to it, a new route to the destination, or nothing at all.
RECORDING
• Records with the screen off, with auto-pause, and shows the ride on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Choose the figures you see while riding, from speed and heart rate to power and what is left of the route.
• Heart rate from Apple Watch, Bluetooth sensors and Apple Health; speed, cadence and power sensors too.
• The Velorki app on Apple Watch starts, pauses and ends the ride from your wrist.
• Each ride gets a page with its map, charts and splits.
FILES AND CONNECTIONS
• Open and export GPX, FIT and TCX files.
• Connect two popular route and ride platforms to upload your rides and bring your routes in. Free.
FREE, AND VELORKI PLUS
Everything the phone can do on its own is free, and so is sync.
Velorki Plus is a subscription for what needs our servers:
• Finer weather: radar across Europe from the national weather services, and a sharper forecast along the route.
• The assistant: describe the ride you want in a sentence and get a route, or ask it about the route on the map.
• Share links: turn a route or a ride into a link anyone can open in a browser.
Velorki Plus comes as a monthly and a yearly auto-renewing subscription; the yearly one starts with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed and cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

PRIVACY
No ads, no analytics. The assistant asks for your consent before any text leaves the device, and the position it sends is rounded to about a kilometre.
CONTINUED USE OF GPS
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Velorki only keeps the GPS running while a ride is being recorded or navigated.

Ratings & Reviews
• An easier first start: Velorki asks for your location, opens the map over your country with bike lanes and stops shown, and points out where to begin.
• The user guide is now in the app, in your language and offline: Settings → Guide.
• Ride straight away: Ride beside Save starts recording and guides you along the route you planned.
• Add a stop during a ride: tap a café, shop or water point on the map and add it to your route. Guidance carries on while the route is worked out again.
• More on the map: train stations, bus, tram and ferry stops, pharmacies, hospitals, picnic sites, viewpoints, beaches and inner-tube vending machines. Search "bus", "train" or "ferry" to find the nearest.
• Downloads happen right on the map: the area, the search and the data a route needs, with progress and a way to cancel.
• Map data is updated only when something in your area has really changed, and a note over the map tells you.
• A tap on the map while searching just closes the search.
• Imprint in Settings → About.
