Frequently asked questions
Does Apex Rider work offline with no signal?
Yes. Download your region first and offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation, ride recording, weather (last fetched), points of interest and pre-ride checklists all run with the radio off — even in airplane mode. (Crash-detection SOS and live crew tracking still need a signal to reach your contacts or emergency services.) Your phone's local database is the source of truth; the cloud only catches up when you reconnect.
How is this different from using Google Maps offline for a motorcycle?
Google Maps offline areas expire, drop full turn-by-turn in remote regions and have no motorcycle features. Apex Rider caches the whole tour onto the phone — every map tile, cue, weather snapshot and place to fuel or sleep — and adds motorcycle-specific tools: T-CLOCS pre-ride checks, fuel economy, maintenance by distance and crash-detection SOS.
Does Apex Rider have motorcycle crash detection and SOS?
Yes. Crash detection watches for an impact and starts a 30-second countdown; if you don't cancel it, it triggers an SOS, texts your live location to your contacts and dials the correct local emergency number. Crash detection and SOS are best-effort aids — not a replacement for emergency services or a satellite messenger. Always carry appropriate backup for remote travel.
Can I import GPX routes and export my rides to Garmin or Strava?
Yes. Import any GPX or FIT track as a route, and export any recorded ride to GPX or FIT for Garmin, Strava and the rest.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. You can plan, navigate, record, run the safety tools and use your garage fully signed out. An account only unlocks the community layer — clubs, riders, group rides, kudos and cross-device sync.
Will navigation kill my battery on a long tour?
Low-power recording widens the GPS cadence so it lasts a full touring day on one charge, and background recording keeps going with the screen off. Incremental recording writes the track as you ride, so even if the phone dies your ride is still there.
Can I plan a multi-day motorcycle tour with fuel and camping stops?
Yes. The multi-stop route planner splits a tour into days with distance, climb and ETA, and the offline local guide pins fuel, food, water, viewpoints, mechanics and stays along your route — available with no signal.
Is my location private when I ride with a group?
Live location sharing is always opt-in, time-boxed and revocable — you choose who sees you and for how long. A privacy zone hides your home and start point, and sensitive data like location history and emergency contacts is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Which motorcycles is it for — adventure, touring, or all?
Apex Rider is built for motorcycle touring of every kind — adventure/ADV, touring, naked, sport and cruiser — with T-CLOCS checks, fuel economy, maintenance by distance and a multi-bike garage. It is not designed for bicycles.
Does it work in remote regions like the Karakoram, Himalaya or the Alps?
Yes — it works anywhere you download a region first. Apex Rider is built specifically for the kind of remote, high-mountain touring where the map app goes blank: switchbacks above the tree line and passes with no bars for a hundred kilometres.
When is Apex Rider launching on iOS and Android?
Apex Rider is in pre-launch. iOS and Android are coming soon — join the early-access waitlist and we'll ping you the moment it opens.
Quick fixes
Offline maps won't download
Connect to Wi-Fi, open the region you plan to ride and tap download before you leave signal. Large regions need storage space — free some up if a download stalls.
GPS feels inaccurate or drifts
Give the phone a clear view of the sky for the first fix, make sure precise location is allowed for Apex Rider in your OS settings, and avoid metal cases or tank bags that block the antenna.
Battery drains too fast
Turn on low-power recording (it widens the GPS cadence), dim the screen, and keep the phone on a charger for long days. Background recording keeps your ride saving with the screen off.
Crash detection didn't trigger / false alarm
Crash detection is a best-effort aid and can miss low-speed drops or fire on hard bumps. Tune its sensitivity in Safety settings, and always carry independent backup for remote travel.
GPX or FIT import/export isn't working
Import GPX/FIT from your files or a share sheet; export any recorded ride to GPX/FIT for Garmin or Strava. If a file won't import, confirm it's a valid GPX/FIT track, not a proprietary format.
Live location sharing stopped
Live sharing is time-boxed by design — restart it from your crew screen. Background location must stay allowed for sharing to continue with the screen off.
