TURN‑BY‑TURN INSTRUCTIONS

FREECYCLE
Track an unplanned ride and save it as a workout in Apple Health.
OFFLINE MAPS
Download maps to use later without data.
APPLE WATCH
Cutting‑edge routing and navigation on your wrist. Use haptics for guidance at a glance and save rides as workouts. Works independently of iPhone.
