Import the route
Plan the ride in Google Maps and paste the link — long or short. Or open a GPX or KML from your favourite planning tool. Apex Notes extracts the track and stores it as a stage.
- Google Maps links, including goo.gl and maps.app short links
- GPX and KML files from any app
- Stages saved on the device, renameable, with notes
Bends detected and graded as pace notes
Every change of direction is measured and graded from flat to hairpin, exactly as rally pace notes do. Long, sweeping curves are recognised as such. You choose the scale your head works with — 6, 9 or 12 levels — and whether 1 or 6 means tight.
- Minimum angle and long-curve detection you can tune
- Severity scale of 6, 9 or 12, normal or inverted
- Left/right or numeric direction style
Calls timed to how you ride
A fixed “200 m before” is wrong at 40 km/h and wrong at 120. Apex Notes computes the lead time in seconds from your live speed and groups bends that arrive together into one note. Dangerous bends get a second, closer call at a higher pitch — and a haptic pulse if you want one.
- Lead time, grouping window and minimum interval in seconds
- Danger threshold and bonus warning time
- Speech rate, pitch variation, voice language
Three preview paces to hear how the notes will sound before you go.
Rehearse, then ride
Simulation mode replays the route at the pace you pick, reading the notes and showing the roadbook, so you can tune the settings on the sofa. On the road, one tap starts live navigation; “Resync” snaps back to the nearest bend if you take a detour.
- Simulation at any speed
- Live navigation with roadbook panel and bend list
- Auto-tune analyses the route and proposes settings
