Description
BICYCLE ROUTES
CycleMaps plans routes using data from multiple sources and prioritises cycle paths and quiet streets — everywhere. See your route’s elevation profile before you ride.
TURN‑BY‑TURN INSTRUCTIONS
Clear, glanceable guidance shows your next turn, street name, and distance — without getting in the way of the map.
GARMIN VARIA
Pair your Garmin Varia rear radar to see vehicles approaching from behind — direction and proximity shown both on the map as a lane overlay and in the cycling computer. Live alerts on iPhone and Apple Watch.
FREECYCLE
Track an unplanned ride and save it as a workout in Apple Health.
OFFLINE MAPS
Download maps to use later without data.
APPLE WATCH
Cutting‑edge routing and navigation on your wrist. Cycling computer with speed, distance, time, heart rate and a live elevation chart. Garmin Varia alerts. Use haptics for guidance and save rides as workouts. Works independently of iPhone.
HANDOFF
Start navigating on iPhone and pick up on Apple Watch — or the other way around. Hand off your map position or continue reviewing past rides on any nearby Apple device.
LIVE ACTIVITY
See your speed, distance and next turn right on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no need to unlock your phone mid-ride.
