§ 01 What it is

Why Tarmoto exists.

01
Plan on a real screen
Planning a 200 km ride on a phone is painful. Tarmoto is desktop-first: big map, full keyboard, drag points, branch alternatives, compare drafts side by side. The way you actually plan a Saturday.
02
Twisty, not broken
A great road is twisty and smooth. Tarmoto biases your route toward better asphalt, away from rough or unknown surfaces, and lets you set the floor. No more 30 km of cratered tarmac mid-loop.
03
Send it. Ride it.
When the route is right, send it to your phone. Offline-ready, simple turn cues. The route is the artifact — the phone companion keeps the ride simple.
§ 02 The planner

Tune the route. Don't redraw it.

You set the start, the end, and a few stops. Tarmoto draws a first draft. From there you adjust the dials — curvature, surface, village density, scenery — and the route re-paths in place.

§ 03 Road quality

A five-point view of the road under you.

We estimate road quality where data exists, from 1 (avoid) to 5 (hero asphalt), using OpenStreetMap surface and smoothness tags as a baseline. Rider feedback is planned to sharpen confidence over time. Segments without signal are clearly marked — you can choose to avoid them.

Avoid
Broken surface or flagged hazard.
Rough
Patchy. Slow-speed only.
OK
Commutable. Fine in the dry.
Great
Smooth, well-swept asphalt.
Hero
Ribbon tarmac. Worth the detour.
How we know
We start from public OpenStreetMap tags (surface=*, smoothness=*) as a baseline. Beta rider observations are planned to refine confidence on segments people actually ride. Where we don't have signal, we say so — and you can choose to avoid those segments.
§ 04 Workflow

Four steps. Plan. Tune. Sync. Ride.

The desktop is where the route gets shaped. The phone is where it gets used. The two stay in sync — once the route is synced, the riding flow works offline.

01
Plan
Set start, end, stops. Build a first draft quickly.
02
Tune
Curves, surface, scenery, avoidances. Adjust the route before you ride.
03
Sync
Send the route to your phone and keep it available offline.
04
Ride
Mount the phone. Open the synced route. Ride without signal anxiety.

Start ride
Offline · simple cues
GPX in & out
Import existing GPX files and export routes for tools and devices that understand GPX.
Multi-stop drafts
Plan multi-stop routes, keep alternatives, and compare distance, climb, and surface mix.
Offline riding
The goal is simple: sync before you leave, then keep map, route, and cues usable without signal.
§ 05 Capabilities

Just the tools planning a real ride needs.

Branchable drafts
Fork a route idea, compare alternatives, and keep the better one.
Elevation profile
See climb, descent, and grade before committing to a route.
Road-type aware
Asphalt, paved, unknown, gravel, cobble — visible instead of hidden.
GPX import / export
Bring routes in, tune them, and export them back out when needed.
Distance & time budget
Planned tooling for shaping routes around distance, time, and return constraints.
Companion app
iOS and Android companion for opening synced routes and riding offline.
Why this exists
“Most motorcycle route apps start on the phone. That is fine for navigation, but painful for planning. Tarmoto starts on a real screen: bigger map, better context, more control, and fewer surprises once you are already on the road.”
Built by riders, for riders planning longer weekend routes.
§ 06 Where we are

Honest about
the state of things.

We're a small team building Tarmoto in the open. A first private beta is planned for summer, a wider European beta in autumn, with v1.0 targeted for late 2026 or early 2027. These are intentions — we'll say so when something slips.

§ 08 FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Where does the road quality data come from?
We start from public OpenStreetMap surface and smoothness tags as a baseline, and estimate quality only where data exists. Beta rider feedback is planned to refine the picture over time. Segments we don't have signal on are clearly marked as "unknown" — you can choose to avoid them rather than guess.
Is this another phone GPS app?
No. Tarmoto starts with planning on a bigger screen — Mac, Windows, or web. The phone companion is for the ride itself: open the route you prepared, keep it available offline, and follow simple cues. We're not trying to make complex route planning happen on a small screen.
How does it compare to Calimoto, Kurviger, Rever?
They are good apps and we use some of them. Tarmoto is desktop-first, with side-by-side draft comparison, finer control over surface and curvature, and an explicit "unknown roads" filter. If you do most of your planning on a phone, those apps may suit you better.
Can I import my existing GPX routes?
GPX import and export are part of the plan. The goal is to let you bring existing routes into the planner, inspect their surface/quality breakdown where data exists, tune them, and export them again.
What about privacy?
No ads, no data resale. Routes sync between your devices through your account; rides recorded on the phone stay on the phone unless you choose to share. You'll be able to export or delete your data. We'll publish a full privacy policy before public launch.
When will it be available?
Waitlist is open now. We're aiming for a first private beta in summer 2026, a wider European beta in autumn, and a v1.0 target in late 2026 or early 2027. These are intentions, not guarantees — we'll write to you when there's an invite to give.
