Rods — Corner & Road Alerts

About this app

Rods is your personal co-driver. It analyzes any road and calls out every corner before you arrive — the direction, how sharp it is, whether it tightens or opens, and the distance to the next one. It also warns you about speed bumps, chicanes, and surface changes and other road hazards along the way. Pick a road. Drive. And hear what's coming: Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100" Advanced mode: "Left 3 tightens, into Right 5, 100." No more guessing what's around the next bend. — HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a start and end point on any road 2. Rods analyzes every corner along the route 3. Tap Drive and hear callouts through your speakers 4. Each corner is announced before you arrive It's the same kind of corner callouts used in professional rally — but generated automatically for any road, anywhere. — WHAT YOU HEAR Every corner is described by: • Direction — left or right • Severity — Easy, Medium, or Hard in simple mode or 1 (tightest hairpin) to 6 (gentle curve) in Advanced • Shape — tightens, opens, long, very long • Sequence — "into" links consecutive corners • Distance — yards/meters to the next corner Road hazards and features are called out too: • Speed bumps and dips • Chicanes and narrowings • Bridges and tunnels • Speed cameras • Surface changes — gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections Example on a mountain pass: "Right 4 long, 80. Left 2 tightens, into Right 3, 50. Caution, speed bump. Left 5." — WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE Download your region's road data once and drive anywhere — mountain passes, backroads, canyon roads, scenic routes.

It's for the roads you choose to drive — the twisty ones, the scenic ones, the ones you drive twice. Whether you're carving canyon switchbacks, exploring unfamiliar mountain roads, riding your motorcycle through the hills, or running your favorite backroad on a Sunday morning — Rods tells you what's ahead so you can drive with confidence. — PLAN BEFORE YOU DRIVE Preview any route and see what the road looks like before you commit — how many corners, how severe, what kind of sequences.

Bug Fixes - Fixed no pace notes being called at all on out-and-back and loop routes, where the app could mistake your start for the return leg and treat every corner as already driven. - Fixed the speed limit staying blank for the rest of a drive when you set off or rerouted with no signal; it now fills in as soon as a limit can be found. - Fixed the app freezing for up to 15 seconds while preparing the drive to your start point. - Fixed Cancel not actually cancelling while that drive was being prepared, which could drop you into a drive you had already abandoned. CarPlay - Fixed CarPlay drawing your car underneath the corner card on head units that put the card on the right, hiding the road ahead. - Fixed the instrument cluster zooming in so far you only saw your car and a few car-lengths of road, and the car's own zoom buttons doing nothing.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
