BUILT FOR THE DIRT

PreRun wasn't built by a navigation giant with generic "outdoor" features tacked on. It was built by people who actually drive off-road and know what matters when you're bouncing through the desert at speed. The interface is designed to be used with gloves, in sunlight, while moving fast.

The Quick Keys system lets you create custom buttons for the hazards and waypoints you actually care about — cattle guard, wash, soft sand, fuel stop, spectator point. Tap once while driving. No menus, no fiddling.

The turn detection algorithm understands off-road waypoints — it knows the difference between a note at a gate and a critical turn at a Y-intersection. Audio callouts are configurable with warning zones, approach zones, and arrival zones so you're never surprised.
