Navigation

NOTE! Do not start navigation mode until you are ready to ride.
You can only start and finish it once for each day's ride.

Ready to ride? You can start navigation mode from within 'Itinerary' or by selecting 'Navigation'.

Using the Skedaddle app's navigation mode, you will be guided turn-by-turn from the start point of your route. Make your way to the start point by using the 'Full Map View'.

When riding straight ahead, an arrow will be displayed and the screen will count down the distance until you reach the next turn or junction. The screen will dim until you approach your next turn to save battery. Many of the directional arrows will have a short description label to assist navigation.

If there is something up ahead we want to warn you about, like a steep descent or a railway crossing, an exclamation mark (!) will pop up with additional information.

It's also possible to set alerts for places of interest along your route, like cafes or bike shops. All of these can be viewed in 'On your route today'. You can set places of interest to display in navigation mode in 'Settings'.

Warnings or alerts to nearby points of interest will display in the lower section of your screen. If you are approaching neither, the next direction will be displayed.

When an icon pops up in navigation mode, you can press the 'i' button for more information.

If you have a break or visit an attraction en route, select 'Pause navigation'. Select 'Resume navigation' when you're ready to roll again.

If you have low GPS accuracy, it will be displayed at the top of the navigation screen. If this happens, pay particular attention to your surroundings, as the distances may not be accurate.

If you go off route, your screen will display an 'Off route' alert.

Return to the route by selecting 'Full Map View'. Your location will be displayed, as will the route. Use the map to get back on the route and navigation mode will start again.

When you arrive at your accommodation, select 'Finish navigation mode'. The navigation for that day will be locked and your statistics for the day's ride will be available on your itinerary screen.
