About
REVER is the go-to trip planning and GPS navigation platform built specifically for motorcycle and snowmobile enthusiasts. Unlike generic mapping apps, REVER highlights epic roads, off-road trails, and race tracks tailored for two-wheeled adventure. Riders can browse more than 3,000 pre-built motorcycle road trip maps from around the world, or create custom routes using the web-based route planner and sync them directly to the mobile app. Once on the road, REVER's accurate ride tracker records every journey without needing a cell signal, capturing speed, distance, and route data. Navigation is powered by offline maps, turn-by-turn directions, and voice guidance—making it a capable replacement for dedicated hardware GPS units. Butler Map overlays provide expert-curated road quality insights. The social layer sets REVER apart: riders can follow friends in real time, join challenges, and share tracked rides with a global community. Popular roads are organized by city and country, making it easy to find the best routes wherever you ride. REVER offers a free tier alongside a REVER Pro subscription that unlocks advanced features. It is available on iOS and Android as well as the web.
