Reno, Nevada – Rally Navigator is a new, simple way for motorcycle riders create, print and share Rally Navigation Roadbooks used in Cross Country Rally Navigation events such as the Dakar Rally. Now anyone can have fun with roadbooks, not just the Pro’s.
Based on Google Earth, Rally Navigator uses intuitive design to quickly create Roadbooks by either importing GPS tracks from an actual ride or virtually creating a route by tracing detailed satellite images of roads and dirt tracks. Wherever the rider needs turn instructions, a waypoint is created with a single click. Rally Navigator automatically captures segment distance, CAP heading, GPS location and draws a basic image of the intersection, called a “Tulip Drawing” Simple drag and drop Icon placement and drawing tools finish out the details for each Waypoint.
Developer Mike Shirley says: “I saw great interest in Cross Country Rally events like the Dakar, but creating Roadbooks was incredibly tedious using current tools and methods. The adventure of Roadbook Navigation was only accessible to the Pros. Rally Navigator makes the process quicker, more accurate and also allows sharing of routes. Our goal is to build a community of off-road motorcycle enthusiasts working to create a worldwide library of interesting roadbook routes, growing the sport of cross country rally and dual sport riding.”
Rally Navigator is a web based software that works on any modern computer. Users log into their secure account and can create and store routes in a personal library. Users can also share routes via email, Facebook or post them to a public library for all riders to enjoy. All interaction is immediate and in real time thanks to the power of HTML5 canvas.
