Ruta

What do you do when the pavement ends and cell service disappears?

Ruta is the expedition all-in-one tool for those who travel the continent at their own pace: cyclists, motorcyclists, motorhome travelers, and hitchhikers. It's not a tourism app: it's tactical austerity built by real travelers, designed to solve the critical needs of the road when you're far from everything.

🏔️ 100% OFFLINE, FOR REAL
• Complete vector maps of entire regions downloadable to your device.

• Offline routing engine with calculation of elevation gain, altimetry, surface type (gravel, asphalt, trail), and clearance based on your vehicle.

• Smart search engine for destinations and places without using a single megabyte of data.

📍 REAL GPS IN THE BACKGROUND (SCREEN OFF)
• Continuous recording of your route using high-efficiency native GPS.

• Works with the screen off in your pocket or pannier: maximize your phone's battery life.

• Accurate statistics on mileage, average speed, elevation gain, and time spent riding.

🧭 4 TRAVEL MODES TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
The journey is a completely different experience on two wheels than in a camper van. Each mode adapts the interface, range calculations, and recommendations:
• 🚲 Bicycle Touring and Bikepacking: calculates challenging inclines, mountain passes, drinking water sources, and pannier weight.

• 🏍️ Motorcycle Touring: alerts for low fuel level, curves, crosswinds on open roads, and chain lubrication.

• 🚐 Vanlife and Motorhome: controls maximum height (clearance), steep inclines, fresh water refills, emptying, and safe camping.

• 👍 Hitchhiking and Backpacking: strategic pick-up points at toll booths and roundabouts, safe crossings, and shelters to wait out the night.

💨 TACTICAL WIND COMPASS AND SOLAR CALCULATION
• Live solar calculator: the exact number of daylight hours you have left to cycle or ride before you need to set up camp.

• Dynamic wind vector: know the wind speed, gusts, and angle relative to your direction of travel (tailwind, headwind, or crosswind).

💬 FLOATING CO-PILOT BUBBLE
• A hands-free floating assistant that accompanies your navigation on any screen.

• Instant one-tap access to your heading, speed, next water source or shelter, and remaining daylight hours.

A dynamic, collaborative database uploaded and verified by the travel community across the continent:
• Safe drinking water sources and verified streams.

• Wild/wild camping, organized campsites, and mountain shelters.

• Reliable mechanics, tire shops, and roadside welding services.

• Hospitals, first aid stations, and roadside rest areas.

• First aid and survival protocols in isolation.

• SOS emergency button with precise coordinate generation and pre-formatted emergency messages.

🏅 EXPEDITION PASSPORT
