Navigation
Follow the route with GPS. The map can turn with the phone’s compass, and it zooms out as you go faster.
Off-road navigation
Ride the trail. Keep the route. Plan the next one.
gitRider is for motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs, jeeps, and other off-road riders. Record where you went, draw the next line on the map, schedule a ride, and follow it with GPS.
On the phone
Log in, follow the map, start a ride, and message the group.

What you can do
The same tools on the map, in the garage, and when you need help.
Recorded routes
Ride, record the track, and save it. The line you just rode is there the next time you want the same trail.
Planned routes
Draw waypoints on the map, then share the route: others fork a private copy and send changes back as a pull request. See how sharing works.
Rides
Pick a date, a vehicle, and a route. Keep your own rides, and search rides other people have published.
Garage
Keep each vehicle in one place: the service log, engine hours and kilometers, and what you spent on parts.
Help on the trail
Mark SOS, fuel, a repair, or a tow. Other riders can see where you are when the alert is meant to be shared.
Chat
Message other riders from the app.
Offline maps
Download a map pack before you leave coverage, then keep navigating when the signal drops.
Vehicle market
Look through vehicles other riders are selling, or list one of your own from the garage.
Share a route the way a project is shared
One route, private copies, and pull requests back to the original.
-
Step 1
Make the route public
A new staged route is private, and only you can see it. Switch it to public when other riders should be able to find it in search.
-
Step 2
Fork a private copy
Another rider searches public routes and taps Fork route. They get their own private copy. You do not see that copy. Show my forks lists forks of your routes, and those results have no Fork button.
-
Step 3
Suggest changes
The rider who forked the route edits their copy, then taps Suggest changes. That opens a pull request on the original. Suggesting again updates the same open request.
-
Step 4
Review the pull request
Your route shows how many requests are waiting. Open one to see your version and theirs side by side. Accept applies their route to yours. Reject leaves yours unchanged. More than one rider can suggest changes to the same route.
-
Step 5
Update before you suggest
When another rider’s suggestion is accepted, the original route moves ahead. The next rider who wants to suggest their own changes is asked to update to the latest version first. The update keeps their edits and brings in the new points. Then they can suggest theirs.
