You have two options for riding with your Beeline: Route Mode and Compass Mode. Read on to find out more about each one!

Route Mode:

For the times when you just want to get from A to B.

Route Mode will guide you along your route turn-by-turn. Route Mode is the default navigator, so all you need to do is to enter your destination, drop and drag a waypoint(s) to tailor your route, and choose the option you prefer.

Please find our route planning tutorials below:

Cyclists using Route Mode in regions covered by Beeline Smart Routing will receive 3 route options: Fast, Balanced, and Quiet.

Motorcyclists using Route Mode in regions covered by Beeline Smart Routing will receive 2 route options: Fast and Fun.

To read more about Beeline Smart Routing and the regions we currently provide routing to, please see our blog on the routing here and FAQ on coverage, here.

If your country isn't on the list, don't panic! We are adding new countries all the time. For now, you'll still receive up to 2 great routes from our default routing provider, Mapbox.

Compass mode:

Compass Mode allows you to create your own route, as Beeline points you toward your final destination. Imagine a compass that knows where you want to go and points there instead of north.

If there is anywhere you would particularly like to pass through on your ride, you may want to set some waypoints. You can set these by tapping on the grey line route and dragging the orange marker.

At that point, just select the Compass option to the right of the Route Mode options to ride in Compass Mode:
