DirtOS

Off-road GPS + push-to-talk group comms. GPX + turn-by-turn audio. Satellite trail finder. Offline maps + LoRa mesh. Race organizer portal. Pro $49.99/yr, 14-day trial.

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

RALLY + RACING

• Pacenote Mode with 1-6 severity + tightens/opens turn classification.
• Auto-Detect Turns from any GPX with severity-tagged waypoints.

• 28-Language Turn Audio, on-device, fully offline.

QUICK KEYS

53 customizable one-tap buttons for dropping waypoints at speed. Bluetooth keyboard support for gloved race conditions — mount a keyboard on the dash and hit one key to mark a hazard at 80 mph. Import your own PNG icons.

GROUP RIDE, CHAT + PUSH-TO-TALK

• Live crew tracking with names and speeds.
• In-app chat with presets, voice-to-text, optional TTS announcement.
• NEW: Push-to-Talk voice messages. Pair a BLE PTT button (Herda, Zello-compatible) and hold to broadcast to every racer in the group.

OFFLINE MAPS

WHY THIS EXISTS

Built by people who actually go offroad. 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.
