Ride the route you planned.

A rider plans a route in a tool such as MyRouteApp, exports it, and expects the phone to follow it. Most navigation apps treat that file as a suggestion. They reroute around traffic, they skip waypoints they judge unnecessary, and they ask for confirmation at every one.

Routehold treats the file as an instruction. Once the ride starts, the only thing you do is ride.

It rides the line by map-matching the imported track in overlapping chunks and handing off between them before the boundary, so the guidance never falls back to a route the app invented.

Divert for fuel and it rejoins the line where you left it, with no connection required.

Other apps keep only your waypoints and calculate their own roads between them, so you end up near your plan rather than on it. Routehold follows the exact route you imported: every road and every turn, in the order you set. It will not chase live traffic or quietly reroute you, and if you leave the line it guides you back.

As you reach each waypoint, Routehold moves on to the next by itself. Nothing appears on the screen to dismiss, and nothing waits for a tap, so both hands stay on the bars while the voice carries you through to the end.

Mark a waypoint as a stop point, such as a café or a fuel stop, and Routehold holds you there and keeps guiding you back until you choose to move on. Leave it as a shaping point and the app passes through, or skips it if you miss it. You decide which is which before you set off.

Spoken turn instructions play through the phone's audio, so a Bluetooth helmet communicator picks them up with no extra setup. The voice is produced on the device itself, so it keeps working where there is no mobile signal.

Before you leave home, Routehold stores everything for the ride on the phone: the map, your route, every waypoint, and the turn-by-turn directions. Once a route is downloaded it needs nothing but a GPS signal. No mobile data, no coverage, no dead spots.

Connect to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and Routehold shows your route and turn-by-turn guidance on the display. The same exact-route navigation, on the screen built into your setup.

You do not need the latest flagship. Routehold is built to run reliably on older, budget hardware, and holds itself to no more than a tenth of your phone's memory. We test on genuinely old devices, a 2020 Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro and a 2019 iPhone 11, with repeated multi-day simulated rides.

Designed for a phone mounted on the bars. The controls are large enough for winter gloves, and the actions that matter take a deliberate press rather than an accidental swipe. The map follows the sun, light through the day and dark after sunset, and the screen stays awake for the whole ride.

Routehold posts no notifications and asks for only the permissions it needs to navigate. It stays out of the way, keeping your attention on the road ahead.
