About Head North: Trail Map
A better trail map for Stark VARG.
The map is on the bike screen for the whole ride, so you follow the trail without switching apps. Full screen, or in a small window over the Stark dashboard, whichever suits the ride.
RUNS ON THE BIKE SCREEN, NEXT TO THE STARK APP
Head North installs from the Play Store like any other app, and runs alongside the Stark app rather than replacing it. There is nothing to change on the bike, nothing to set up on your own phone, and no account to create.
WHAT YOU GET
• Keep the map on the bike screen - works together with Stark app fullscreen or Picture in Picture on top of the Stark dashboard
• Speed, mode and charge - connects to your Stark VARG and puts the gauges on the map
• Offline maps - download the areas you ride, and keep the map working when there is no coverage
• Breadcrumbs - keeps track where you have been, so you can retrace your way out
• Multiple routes - open several GPX or multi route GPX
• Waypoints - turns, stops and markers, wherever the file has them
• Direct line navigation - drop a point and see the direction and the straight line distance to it
• Map types - Street, terrain and satellite
• Explore - Pan and zoom, then snap back to your position
• Use your routes, or just ride and explore.
WORKS WITH YOUR BIKE
Stark VARG MX 1.2, EX and SM. Bike data (speed, ride mode and charge) is read from the bike. Head North listens to the bike connection the Stark app already has, and never sends anything to the bike.
GPX FROM ANYWHERE
Garmin, Gaia GPS, onX Offroad, Komoot, Wikiloc, and anything else that exports GPX. Large files are fine, including one file holding a whole region of tracks.
GREAT FOR
• Following technical trails without stopping to check your phone
• Riding where there is no mobile coverage
• Seeing route options and choosing your line
• Finding your way back out of a wrong turn
• Getting back to the truck across open ground
• Keeping navigation visible alongside the VARG dashboard
NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. GPX files stay on your phone. Nothing is uploaded. No cloud, no login.
PAY ONCE. RIDE FOREVER. One purchase. No subscription, no upsells.

User reviews
This is awesome and a huge help on the stark. Saved me on a recent group ride where we had to follow specific routes.
Tried this weekend on a hard enduro GPX here in Portugal, impressed, Liked the clean map display with no clutter and works on the Stark Phone either picture in picture or full screen. Well worth the money 👍
