ADVanced Off-Road Planner
This is not the planner to get to the local Home Depot or plan on long stretches of highway,
it’s for building off-road routes off the beaten path. If there are miles and miles of highway between you and the good stuff, you might want to skip that part on routes built with this planner.
This tool does not use typical routing technology, which is why you are able to plan over just about anything you’d want to take an ADV bike on, but that means you need to be frequent, consistent and deliberate with waypoint placement.
The ADVanced Off-Road Planner allows you to plan over almost any dirt road and double-track that appears on a map. Now you can finally build those dream off-road routes that no other planning tool can touch! The planner does not support trails or singletrack.
Keep these tips in mind when using this technology:
- 1. Be consistent with waypoint spacing
- Waypoints should be placed close together, at consistent intervals, especially on paved roads
- Less than 2.5 mi/4.0 km between waypoints is recommended
- 2. Avoid crossing multiple roads between waypoints
- If there are multiple ways to get from one point to the next, show the planner which way you want to go by dropping extra waypoints through that section
- You get 100 waypoints, use them!
- 3. Hit your apexes
- Guide the planner around corners by placing waypoints at the apexes
- This is most important when planning over pavement or spanning large distances between waypoints, you can wait to hit every apex on that mountain pass until you’re out on the bike
The “roads” this planner considers may be very remote and extremely difficult. Be realistic about your skills and the capabilities of your bike. Do your research, stay within your limits and ride with a partner if possible. With the ADVanced Off-Road Planner, REVER makes no claims that you/your equipment can successfully travel the routes you build, it’s up to you to use this tool responsibly.
