Roadbooks

Roadbooks are a tool commonly used in motorsports and orienteering to navigate through uncertain terrain, as they contain instructions for orientation and navigation. They typically consist of multiple pages with diagrams, GPS coordinates, and written instructions to assist in navigation… 

Digital Roadbooks contain all this information in a digital format, eliminating the need to read paper instructions… while navigating, the GPS will display all maneuvers on the screen. With them, you can have fun and enjoy the outdoors safely. 

Uses of Roadbooks

The multiple advantages of using Roadbooks for navigation are:

• Orient yourself while navigating a route
• Know what maneuvers you need to perform at each moment
• View a point of interest to visit (Hermitage, fountain, scenic views…)
• See a danger point or caution area on the route
• Open images and enhanced descriptions attached to a point on the route
