Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
With almost 30-thousand users, 650-thousand miles tracked, 5-thousand shared motorcycle routes and an overall worldwide 4½ star rating, Scenic has shown to be a true alternative to expensive Motorcycle GPS units. Why spend hundreds of dollars on an extra device while your phone can do the same and more? Find, Create, Import and Navigate great Roads and track your Touring Adventures. Although Scenic is designed for the motorcycle it's used by many old-timer and convertible drivers as well. It's basically for anyone with a motorised vehicle who enjoys a day (or longer) of touring.
ROUTE PLANNING
Scenic offers many many options to plan your tours: (1) Select a location and be navigate there along curvy roads. (2) Create a route yourself by dropping up to 200 via points with fast, short or curvy roads to get from one point to the next. (3) Import routes through many ways and many sources. For example: Scenic integrates with the Furkot, RouteYou and Kurviger.de online routeplanners and the Scenic WebApp makes it easy to import GPX Files and Google Maps links. Simply drag and drop GPX files and copy/paste Google Maps URL's in the WebApp and the route will be waiting for you in Scenic on your phone. (4) As the only app of it's kind Scenic can make nearly every imported route navigable, even if it has thousands of points. (5) If you don't feel like creating or importing your own routes, you can choose from the many thousands of routes shared, rated and reviewed by fellow Scenic users.
NAVIGATION
Of course Scenic wouldn't be a good alternative to Motorcycle GPS units if it didn't offer navigation. The navigation screen has been especially designed for use on the motorcycle, with large fonts, a clear route line and a screen layout that enables you to see next turns in a quick glance. And of course Scenic also gives voice instructions (in 21 languages). Next to that Scenic has special features to guide you to the start point of a route and skip via points if you take a (deliberate or accidental) detour.
TRACKING
Scenic's tracking feature allows you to save your touring adventures for ever. With every ride you take, wether you're navigating a route or not, your ride is tracked. Scenic records your speed, the roads you took and the pictures taken along the way. Every trip you ever took can be shared on social media, exported to GPX files and even turned into a navigable route so you can ride it again.
* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
* Scenic has an optional Premium Subscription that gives you access to Premium Features (Voice Guidance, Route Import & Route & Trip export). If you choose to purchase Scenic Premium, payment will be charged to your iTunes account, and your account will be charged for renewal 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Auto-renewal may be turned off at any time by going to your settings in the iTunes Store after purchase. Current price for premium subscription is $10.99 USD per year, and may vary from country to country.

Best app hands down
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the battery usage. Even with it plugged in it seems to drain my battery. Maybe it's my phone but, no other app seems to do this. That being said, If you're a rider then, this is the app for you. I searched high and low for an app that I could simply plan my own ride into uncharted area from wherever I was and have it navigated for you. Just plan, and go! You can also have it track you're ride. Just hit record and take off. When you're done and you want to get home, save it and ride it back. It takes a little to get used to using the planning side but once you get it down its fast, simple, and pretty accurate. Customer service is great too. Just send an email and you get answers....quickly! Again, if you're looking for this kind of app it's the best one you can get hands down.
Not there yet
Time calculation of routes is way off, like showing 2 hour routes as 4 hours. Adds random detours to routes that are not easily removed. With new curvy roads option the guidance system apparently thinks motorcyclists consider major highway cloverleaf interchanges to be curvy roads, as it will route you through these hitting every possible ramp that makes up the cloverleaf.
So far so good..
I tried five or six different apps and this one was the best. Easy operations, it doesn't interrupt music when operating.
