Getting started
Installation
MotoNavigator comes from your device’s app store. Install it, open it, ride.
Maps first, then the ride
The map isn’t streamed, it sits on your phone. What isn’t there isn’t there on the road, and a mountain pass is a bad place to find that out. So the map comes before the first ride:
- Open the app, tap through the introduction, allow location. The app suggests the region you’re standing in. If that’s not the one you want, choose Another region.
- Tap Download. The download keeps going in the background. It waits for Wi-Fi until you explicitly allow cellular.
- Wait until it’s there. If you’ve allowed notifications, you get a ping when the map has arrived.
Started without signal, or swiped the window away? Hamburger menu → Settings, in the Map & data section the Maps entry, then More Maps. If you’re heading abroad, download the countries along your route right away. How that works is in the chapter Downloading maps and countries.
Your first ride
Once the map is there:
- Open the app - the map centers on where you are.
- Drop a waypoint with the crosshair - the main button already offers whatever comes next.
- Add more waypoints, drag them into order in the route panel until the line looks like a ride.
- The button at the top right (the navigation arrow) starts navigation. The recording runs along with it, automatically.
That’s it. No tutorial videos, no account.
