NavForge Help
How the app works, what every button does, and what happens when you’re out of signal. Written from the app itself — if it’s on this page, it’s in your hands today.
Nothing matches that. Try a shorter word — “map”, “route”, “ride”.
Start here
Your first ride
From a fresh install to moving turn-by-turn: permissions, your first map, and picking somewhere to go.
Downloading maps
Which regions exist, how big they are, what’s inside one, and how updating and deleting really behave.
What works without signal
The honest line between online and offline — including the one search limit that catches people out.
The map screen
Every button on the map, the four gauges along the bottom, and where the menu hides.
Finding places
Searching for a destination
How search behaves on signal and off it, why recent searches stick around, and what the results mean.
Fuel, food and camping
The POI layer — what the coloured badges mean, and why it quietly switches to fuel-only when you ride.
Markers
Saving your own spots, the seven categories, and managing them from My Markers.
Planning a route
Planning A to B
Setting a start and destination, previewing, and reading the result card before you set off.
Adding stops along the way
Via stops, reordering them, and dropping one straight onto the map.
Road and Adventure presets
The two one-tap route styles, and how per-leg profiles work on a multi-stop trip.
The seven route sliders
What each slider does, why the middle position means no preference, and which three are Premium.
Round trips
Generate a loop that brings you home — pick a distance and a direction, then regenerate until you like it.
Elevation profile
Seeing the climbs before you commit, and why the option sometimes isn’t there.
Riding
Turn-by-turn navigation
The nav screen, the turn card, distance and ETA, and why the buttons fade away while you ride.
Voice guidance
When you’ll hear a turn, what the app says, picking a voice, and getting sound into a helmet intercom.
When you go off-route
What the app does when you miss a turn — and what it does when you clearly meant to.
Road blocked
One tap to route around a closure in front of you.
Speed and speed limits
Where the limit number comes from, what the little label under it means, and when it goes red.
Speed camera alerts
How far ahead you’re warned, what you’ll hear, and why the warning stays up until you pass.
Your rides
Recording a ride
Starting and stopping, the auto-pause when you break for coffee, and naming your ride.
My Rides
Your saved rides, importing a GPX, and riding a saved route again.
Ride stats
Distance, duration, speeds and climb — and why some numbers are blank on imported files.
Ride calendar
Saving a planned trip to a date, and loading it again when the day comes.
Lean angle
The lean readout, the colour zones, and calibrating it for how your phone is mounted.
Where you’ve been
The heatmap of every ride you’ve recorded, laid over the map.
Map layers
Settings and the rest
Ride settings
Lean zones, when turns are announced, voice choice and helmet intercom.
Units and screen orientation
Kilometres or miles, and locking the screen to portrait or landscape.
Group ride
Share your live position with the people you’re riding with.
Reporting a problem
Telling us when something’s wrong — and what to include so it’s fixable.
