Geovelo - Bike GPS & Stats

Geovelo

About this app

Geovelo, your free GPS application, your statistics and your challenges!

- PERSONALIZED ITINERARIES & GPS

The application adapts to your type of bike (classic, electrically assisted (EAPC), self-service (SSB)), to your travel speed, and to the type of route you want (from the fastest to the safest). Geovelo prioritizes cycle paths, cycle lanes and low-traffic streets to ensure your comfort, safety and peace of mind. Geovelo includes a real-time guidance system (map / full screen / compass mode), with voice guidance and notifications.

- STATISTICS & AUTOMATIC RECORDING

Log in and save your rides to get all the statistics from your rides.
By simply walking around with the Geovelo application installed, your rides are automatically detected and saved. You can then view them in the application. Please note that you will need to authorize the retrieval of locations when the application is closed or in the background for this feature to work.

- CYCLING FACILITIES AND BIKE PARKING

With its precise mapping system, Geovelo allows you to quickly and easily find nearby Bike parking and bike racks.

- COMMUNITIES & CHALLENGES

Find other cyclists in your city or organization and connect by participating in the activity challenges. Get on your bike every day or ride as many kilometers as you can to try and make it to the podium in your community. Note that several competitions are organized to win useful gifts for cyclists.

- CYCLE ROUTES & WALKS

The app also offers cycle routes (including La Vélodyssée®, Via Rhôna, La Loire à Vélo®, La Scandibérique, La Flow Vélo, Le Canal des Deux Mers à Vélo, La Vélo Francette®, La Véloscénie, L'Avenue Verte London-Paris and others) as well as numerous walks to discover the heritage and its treasures

- A VIRTUOUS CITIZEN APPLICATION

The data created from rides recorded with the Geovelo app is anonymized and used in the context of partnerships to help the territories with which we work to analyze and improve the cyclability of their network. It will never be used for marketing purposes. In addition, Geovelo actively contributes to the mapping of cycling facilities alongside the OpenStreetMap community (an international project to create an open map).

- Permissions

- Localization: necessary to display your GPS location and for navigation to work correctly.
- Background location: In order to save your locations, speed and cycling statistics, access to your location when the app is closed is required, for the activity detection and manual recording features to work.

Ratings and reviews

I didn't use it for long, honestly I just used it once, as I was just thinking "hey it'd be a good idea to make an app which displays bike parkings" and honestly it was delightful to see there was one already, and I just have one remark for the devs : I think you have to zoom in too much to display the bike parking icons, maybe add an option related to that. Adding an option to download the map for an area (even if it's by city) would also be great it'be perfect from my perspective as a new user

It's a mixed bag. The maps are nicely rendered and updated often, the feedback options are useful. However, when there's no clearly mapped bike route, it simply fails instead of trying smaller residential streets and maybe telling you, look, it's not a bike path but here's the best I found, let me know how you liked the route.

It has speech assistant which helps but takes you on the longest route like a car goes down, roads. Doesn't have cycle routes at all. Needs a load of work on it and the writing is really small and hard to read when in bicycle.
