Two kinds of navigation

Depending on if you are a Premium Member or not, navigating other’s routes can work a bit different. Down below we will go through what you can expect.

Turn-by-turn Navigation (Premium for other’s routes)

This is the most common navigation option which also comes with audio directions. You will be guided to your goal for each turn on the way, with arrow indicators and street names to keep you on the right path at all times.

Follow Route Line

When on the free plan of Detecht, you still have the opportunity to ride the best routes of the community. By choosing the Follow Route Line option the route will be mapped out on your map which you can then use as a guide to follow when riding.

<aside> 💡 When navigating your own planned or tracked rides you have access to both navigation options, regardless of your member status.
