About this app

PDF and GPX/OpenRally File Reader for Motorcycle/Car Navigation via Roadbook.

This tool allows navigation using both GPS-based kilometer detection and a wheel sensor detected via a dedicated Bluetooth control panel (see link below).
Highly configurable, it has been developed and tested by motorally enthusiasts to make it as user-friendly as possible. For motorcycle use, integrating an external control panel is strongly recommended.
At least an 8-inch tablet is recommended, but excellent results have also been achieved with smaller smartphones.

Features include:

Reading both roadbooks in PDF format and enriched GPX files according to the OpenRally standard
Light/Dark theme
CoPilot function: allows reading kilometers from the PDF and activating aids such as sound and visual alerts near the next note, automatic note advancement, one-click note advancement, automatic trip reset, kilometer countdown to the next note, an easy-to-use function to correct kilometers with those in the note, and an external Bluetooth odometer repeater (MRB repeater)
Configurable controls to adapt to different control panels
Parameterization of how much the roadbook should move when the button on the remote control panel or touch screen is pressed. This allows slow scrolling to simulate paper or larger movements to jump immediately to the next/previous note with a click
PDF file resizing/zooming to make the best use of the available screen space
Hide touch controls to prevent accidental activation by water or dirt during navigation
Fast virtual keyboard for kilometer correction (just long press on the kilometers)
Ability to freely load files stored on your device
Automatic saving of settings every 10 meters traveled to prevent unwanted device reboots and consequent note loss
Customization of wheel diameter when using wheel sensor-based kilometer detection
In GPS navigation mode, the ability to correct the GPS kilometers with those from the start (KM 0)
Functions for automatic wheel diameter calculation when using a wheel sensor or correction of GPS kilometers relative to KM 0
For competitive sports, functionality to download the PDF/GPX roadbook from a remote URL is provided. In this mode, the file is downloaded encrypted and automatically deleted from the device after 30 hours, without the possibility of being copied by the user.
