Curvy motorcycle navigation with a curviness slider
Premium
You enter a destination and decide how curvy the route should be. DriveBattle calculates several variants, scores them by their curves and guides you there turn by turn.
Premium: Curvy profile. During the beta everything is unlocked.
Three profiles for every destination
For each destination you pick a profile: Fast, No highway or Curvy. The Curvy profile avoids motorways, residential streets and unpaved tracks and prefers country roads. You enter the destination by search, map pin, home and work, favourites, recent destinations or a place shared from another app.
Two sliders: curviness and fast share
The curviness slider runs from the fastest route to as many curves as possible. For that the server calculates detour candidates to the left and right of the straight line, next to the direct route. The detour stays capped at a multiple of the direct length. The second slider, the fast share, handles the approach: fast first, then curvy. The first part of the trip runs on the fastest route, motorway allowed, and the curve search starts after it. The fast share applies to trips from A to B.
How the server scores curves
The server scores every candidate by the flow of its curves. Corners at junctions and turns in a street grid count for little, so a loop around city blocks does not win. Slow urban stretches are marked down, and candidates with a dead-end reversal or a notable share of motorway are dropped. You keep up to three route suggestions to choose from, and each option shows its number of curves. If you leave the route, the app recalculates and explains why the route changed. The Curvy profile deliberately ignores traffic.
Rally-style corner calls
If you want, the app calls the next corners, for example “Right three, long” or “Hairpin left”. Sharpness runs from 6 (fastest) to 1 (tightest) plus hairpin, and consecutive corners are chained into one call. A coloured ladder next to the speedometer shows the next corners even when the voice is muted. The switch sits in the navigation settings and is off by default.
Limited without a network
The search for curvy variants runs on the server and needs a connection. Offline navigation only knows a simple preference for curvy roads, no detour candidates. The device calculates the corner calls itself, so they also work offline.
Curvy is Premium
The Curvy profile is part of Premium. Fast and No highway are not. During the beta everything is unlocked. After that Premium is paid, the purchase runs through Google Play and Google Play shows the price.
Frequently asked questions
- Which motorcycle app helps me ride corners?
- DriveBattle for Android plans routes with the Curvy profile and, if you want, calls the next corners. A coloured ladder shows them in the cockpit next to the speedometer.
- How do I navigate curvy with DriveBattle?
- Pick a destination, then the Curvy profile, set the curviness slider and choose one of up to three route suggestions. Then you start the navigation.
- What does the fast share do?
- It sets how much of the trip runs on the fastest route first, motorway allowed. The curvy part starts after that. It applies to trips from A to B.
- Does the curvy route take traffic into account?
- No, the Curvy profile deliberately ignores traffic. With Fast and No highway the app sorts the alternatives by expected travel time.
- Does curvy navigation work without internet?
- Only in a limited way. The search for curvy variants needs the server. Offline the app uses a simple preference for curvy roads.
- Is the curvy navigation free?
- The Curvy profile is Premium. During the beta everything is unlocked, after that Premium is paid. Fast and No highway are not part of Premium.
