Velo-Points

Plan a knooppunten cycling loop by distance and biome. Start it with Siri, follow it on iPhone or Apple Watch — offline, 100% on-device, no account.

Velo-Points is a knooppunten-based ("node-network") cycling navigation app for recreational riders across the Netherlands. Open the app, pick a distance, and the planner instantly suggests a handful of loops starting from the closest junction — perfect for a spontaneous ride from wherever you are. Prefer a fixed start or a specific destination? That works too.

FEATURES • Ride the Veluwe, South Limburg, Drenthe or Zeeland — or just roll out a loop from your front door • Distance-based loop planner — pick how far you want to ride today • Biome preferences: filter for forest, heath, dunes, water and urban to match the vibe you want • Surface filter: avoid unpaved paths, or seek them out • Works offline once installed — all knooppunten data is bundled in the app • Live distance to the next knooppunt while you ride • Apple Watch companion: next knooppunt on your wrist, with an auto-started cycling workout • Privacy-first: no account, no tracking, no analytics, no server. Your location stays 100% on your device.

WHO IT'S FOR Recreational cyclists who love the Dutch knooppunten system and don't want to be locked into a pre-set GPX file. Plan a fresh loop on the road, take a detour through a nicer area, or let the app surprise you — the choices remain yours.

DATA AND PRIVACY Knooppunten data is derived from OpenStreetMap, preprocessed and bundled inside the app. Velo-Points sends nothing to any server — there isn't one. Apple Maps provides map tiles, and HealthKit logs your ride to your own Health app.

Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later. Apple Watch companion requires watchOS 11 or later.
