About Rods: Corner & Road Alerts
Rods calls out every corner and road hazard before you reach it — out loud, in rally-style pace notes, through your phone, Bluetooth, CarPlay or a motorcycle helmet headset. Direction, how sharp, whether it tightens or opens, and how far to the next one, so the road never surprises you. You don't need to know rally to use it: Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100" Advanced mode, with the 1–6 scale rally drivers use: "Left 3 tightens, into right 5, 100" WHO IT'S FOR Drivers and motorcycle riders who enjoy the drive: weekend canyon runs, mountain passes, backroads, unfamiliar roads on a trip, and the twisty road you drive again and again. WHAT YOU HEAR • Every corner: direction, severity on the 1–6 rally scale, tightens or opens, linked corners • Distance to the next corner • Speed bumps, dips, chicanes, narrowings and roundabouts • Speed cameras, bridges and tunnels • Surface changes: gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections • Your live speed and the posted speed limit on screen PLAN YOUR ROUTE Rods is a route planner built around corners. Plan a route on the map and preview every road before you drive it: how many corners, how tight they are, and what surface to expect. Import a GPX or KML file or paste a Google Maps or Waze link, save your routes, and drive them with pace notes. No plan? Free Roam calls the road as it comes. ON A MOTORCYCLE Rods works on two wheels as well as four. Pair your Bluetooth helmet headset and hear the next corner before you see it — on blind bends, mountain passes and roads you have never ridden. Plan motorcycle routes the same way: preview the corners, then ride. WORKS WITH APPLE CARPLAY See the corner ahead and every pace note on your car's screen, start routes from the car, and show the next corner in supported instrument clusters. WORKS OFFLINE Download your region once and drive or ride with no signal on saved routes and in Free Roam. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY ROADS, NOT FOR RACING Rally-style callouts, made for public roads: Rods helps you read the road ahead and drive it with more confidence. Always obey speed limits and traffic laws.

What’s new
Version 2.0.0 · Updated November 5, 2026
Rods 2.0 NEW • Rods now warns you about more than 80,000 licensed speed cameras across Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with its own icon and warning for fixed, average-speed, red-light, distance-control, overtaking and bus-lane cameras. • Average-speed zones are drawn on the map and on the drive screen, with your average speed shown under the speedometer and a warning when it goes over the limit. • Rods now works fully offline: download a country, state or town and your routes, maps and search keep working with no signal. • You can now find places and addresses with no signal using offline search. • Choose whether you see corner callouts, hear them, or both, from Road features & callouts. • Choose what Rods shows and calls out, feature by feature (speed cameras, bumps, chicanes, narrows, roundabouts, bridges, tunnels, toll booths, islands, dips and surface changes), each with its own See and Hear switch. • New, clearer maps on the phone and the car screen, with the road's name drawn along your route line. • CarPlay now shows average-speed zones and all six camera types too. • The map now shows which way each camera looks. • Your recent searches are kept, so your last places are one tap away. • Ferries now show on your route summary. • You can queue several region downloads at once. • The route line no longer loops across sharp corners. • Icons now sit beside the road, never over your car. IMPROVEMENTS • Free Roam and drives start faster, because the voice-pack check no longer holds them for seconds. • Free Roam switches to your new road sooner after you leave the suggested one. • Free Roam now ends and saves your drive on its own once the car link drops and you have been still for two minutes. • The speed-limit sign is more accurate: it prefers the most reliable limit data and waits briefly instead of guessing. • Launch now starts the countdown even when there is no corner ahead. • Roundabouts are now always called out, even when you go straight across or pass the same one twice. BUG FIXES • Fixed Free Roam leaving most corners unspoken at the start of a drive. • Fixed Free Roam ignoring your voice volume setting. • Fixed being signed out after the phone's clock or time zone changed. • Fixed a deleted route staying in Recents on Home. • Fixed CarPlay Free Roam so it keeps tracking your car while the phone is locked.
