Calimoto is an all-in-one motorcycle App that provide bikers with a platform to discover remote, motorcycle-friendly roads as well as giving a cost-efficient navigation tool. I put it through its paces.
As motorcyclists, we love an open road with lots of twists, hills, dips and turns. With Calimoto’s unique winding roads algorithm, it can plan routes with the curviest and scenic roads making each ride a thrilling experience. You can be off on a random route in just a few clicks. No more ‘where shall I ride today?’
Random Round Trips: This inspirational route finder is excellent if you just want to jump out of bed for an early Sunday morning ride out; program the App and ride.
The process is simple. Head into the App, select ‘Planner’ and ‘Round Trip’ at the top of the screen. Then pick a direction, how many miles you would like to cover, hit ‘random’ and it will do the rest. Moments later, you will be ‘route-ready’. If you don’t fancy a particular section, simply move the waypoint. It couldn’t be easier. The only downside you may need to head back into ‘Planner’ so you can adjust the route type between each waypoint. You have a choice of:
fastest route; the fastest route avoiding highways
; twisty route (default)
; and super twisty route (Premium version only). Ride, relax and enjoy.
I usually aim for 35-40 miles for each hour I want to spend in the saddle.
Can it be a simple Satellite Navigation tool? Absolutely. Firstly, head into ‘Planner’ then, next to ‘Round Trip’ is ‘Destination’ mode. I think many users miss this mode. It could do with being more prominent to be fair.
Enter your destination or type in the postcode, which it starts to predict. Enter house number. Add in via points, select the variety of route or just hit ‘fastest route’ if you just want to get there. Start navigation and you’re away. Relevant POIs such as petrol stations, food places, and accommodation can be integrated into the trip.

Planning a tour? I’ve heard many a person on Facebook saying Calimoto isn’t a route planning tool. It certainly is and more. You can still have fun planning the routes way in advance of your next several-day tour, and no, you don’t need to do it on the phone. As it is a cloud-based system, simply log into your account using any web browser. Here you can plan routes similarly as you would with the App. Simply create your ideal itinerary by adding routes and applying different route option between each waypoint then save. Made a mistake, simply undo. You can tweak them later and all the while it will automatically sync with your phone. No more faffing or frustration of moving maps from your route planning tools to your SatNav device. Hoorah! On this note alone, I am very tempted to head to Spain without the need to plan any routes then just let Calimoto do its stuff once I leave the ferry.
