Off-road GPS + group ride chat. GPX + turn-by-turn audio. Trail Finder on satellite. Offline group tracking via Meshtastic LoRa. Cloud sync. Pro $49.99/yr, 14-day trial.

PreRun.io is GPS built specifically for off-road — pre-runners, rally teams, overlanders, UTV crews. Not a generic outdoor app with a "trail mode" tacked on. Built by people who actually drive in the dirt.

RALLY + RACING

  • Pacenote Mode: 1-6 severity scale, tightens/opens turn classification, spoken pacenotes like a real navigator.
  • Auto-Detect Turns from any GPX — analyzes geometry and drops severity-tagged waypoints.
  • Countdown Callouts: "500, 400, 300, 200, 100, here."
  • 4-Zone Speed-Based Zoom camera.
  • Loop Mode with automatic lap detection + announcements.
  • 28-Language Turn Audio, on-device, fully offline.

QUICK KEYS — THE FEATURE OTHERS DON'T HAVE

53 customizable one-tap buttons for dropping waypoints while driving. No menus, no typing. Bluetooth keyboard support for gloved race conditions — mount a keyboard on the dash, hit one key to mark a hazard at 80 mph. Import your own PNG icons.

GROUP RIDE + CHAT

  • Live crew tracking with names and speeds.
  • NEW: In-app chat with presets, voice-to-text dictation, optional TTS announcement so the driver never looks away.
  • Offline via Meshtastic LoRa — share GPS with zero cell service. Cellular + LoRa dual transport, automatic failover. T1000-E, Wio Tracker, Heltec supported.
  • Public + private + persistent multi-day groups.

TRAIL FINDER + CUSTOM ROUTING

  • Trail Finder — drop pins on satellite imagery, PreRun traces unmapped desert roads between them.
  • Custom GraphHopper routing engine, 116M edges, 9 vehicle profiles: dirt bike, ATV, UTV 50", full-size 4x4.
  • Universal Go To — tap any address, POI, coordinate, or group member for a real off-road route.
  • Automatic gas stop insertion for long routes.
  • Section Delete + Connect for editing in the field.

OFFLINE MAPS

  • Route Corridor Download follows the actual shape of your track — 5-10x fewer tiles than a bounding box.
  • Silent Zoom Clamp so your map never goes white at the finish line when cell drops.
  • Region Download for full custom-polygon offline coverage.
  • Storage Manager with per-region size + zoom range.

TOUR MODE + WEATHER (PRO)

  • Tour Mode — Wikipedia landmarks narrated as you drive.
  • NEXRAD radar overlay + NWS destination forecast + severe alerts + precipitation warnings 20 miles ahead.

ROUTE MANAGEMENT

  • NEW: Merge Items — combine routes, tracks, or runs into a single new item.
  • Merge Waypoints via three-dot picker.
  • Record Mode — build a route from scratch with GPS.
  • 3D Flyover Preview.
  • Photo Waypoints Overlay — your geotagged photos on the map.
  • Cloud Sync across devices.
  • USFS + BLM Trail Overlay filtered by vehicle type.
  • Import + Export GPX.

WHY THIS EXISTS

PreRun wasn't built by a mapping giant that added an "outdoor mode." It was built by people who actually go offroad and know what matters when you're bouncing through whoops at 80 mph. Interface works with gloves, in sunlight, at speed. Turn detection knows the difference between a note at a gate and a critical Y-junction. Every feature exists because someone needed it in the dirt.

PRICING

Free to try. PreRun Pro $49.99/year with 14-day trial — unlocks Follow Mode, audio, Quick Keys, group ride + chat, cloud sync, weather, tour mode, offline maps, and exports.

FOR

Off-road racers pre-running Baja, BITD, SCORE, NORRA. Rally teams. Overlanders. UTV crews on BLM + USFS land. Trail scouts. Search-and-rescue. Anyone tired of Google Maps not understanding dirt.

DISCLAIMER: Off-road and recreational use only. GPS can be inaccurate; routes may contain errors. Always verify and drive according to conditions. Full terms at prerun.io/terms.html.
