Navigation

The map: GPX tracks, offline maps, the tools to follow the track and a navigator to reach a destination or create off-road routes.

Configure map: Theme Day, Night or Auto; GPS marker position, with Marker up and Marker down; and the Layers.
Layers: In Configure map you switch on and off GPX waypoints, Direction arrows, Road and off-road with the Asphalt and Dirt colours, Recording trail, Other riders' trails, Relief, Buildings, names, land cover, water, borders and railways.
Offline maps: GPX maps downloads just the map of a region, to follow tracks; Navigation maps adds the navigation, to calculate routes. Below, you switch on the downloaded maps to use, or remove them with the bin, which also removes their navigation. With the ODOCAP subscription maps are unlimited; a map included in your account is downloaded once and stays yours.
GPX tracks: Record track, Load GPX tracks, New folder, Track preview and the list of your tracks, with Center tracks and Move to Cloud.
External Displays: On Android, for the external displays of the ODOCAP tablet: Enable external displays, then for Display 1 and Display 2 choose Turns, Speed or CAP.
Online devices: Only with an active share: who is online and how far away; it centres them all on the map, and Show tracks or Hide tracks switches your friends' trails on or off.
SOS: The open SOS, yours and the group's, with Reply, Resolved and Navigate.
POI: Switches on the categories: Fuel, Garages, Parking, Food/bars, Useful services, Emergency/health, Lodging/tourism, Transport, Shops and Nature/sport. The points appear as you zoom in.
KeyPad: Assigns the keypad keys: Map UP, Map Down, Zoom +, Zoom - and Center Position. Reset assignments clears them all.
Track info: Distance, altitude and profile of the chosen track; it estimates how much is Road and how much Off-road and, with the palette, colours it for checking without changing its colour.

GPX tracks

In the GPX tracks item of the menu: you load, organise and check your tracks.

From the device: Imports one or more GPX files from the device into the library. Without a subscription the tracks are shown on the map but are not saved: in the library they say Not saved.
From the cloud: Downloads the GPX tracks you have in the Cloud space of your account. Without a subscription the subscription offer appears: the cloud space is not included.
Guided setup: At every import ODOCAP suggests the steps: colour and thickness of the track, asphalt and dirt, direction arrows, keypad, marker position and POI. You can skip it with Skip.
Offline map missing: If the track passes where you have no offline map, ODOCAP asks: Download or Not now.
New folder: Creates a folder. With the Drag into folder handle you move a track into it; Select and Deselect switch all the tracks of the folder on or off.
Center tracks: Brings the map back to the tracks that are switched on. Tapping a track in the list switches it on or off.
Track colour: The dot opens the palette: the colour is the border of the track. The thickness is set with − and + next to the name, from 1 to 10. The asphalt and dirt colours, inside the line, are chosen in Configure map, Layers section.
Rename track: Press and hold the name of the track in the list, write the new name and save.
Track preview: Runs the switched-on track on the map before you leave, with speed, pause and stop. In preview the altitude comes from the track.
Export GPX: Shares one of your tracks as a GPX file. On the tracks of an event or of a share the button says Protected track: they cannot be exported.
Move to Cloud: Uploads the switched-on tracks to the Cloud space of your account. Only your saved ones: those of an event, of a share or not saved stay out.
Delete track: The red bin removes the track from the library.
Start: The green flag is the start of the track, the chequered one the finish: tap one and you can go there as you would to a POI.

Recording

The GPS records your route and saves it as a GPX track in the library.

Point: Saves a point in the GPX: Danger, Refreshment, Fuel, Assistance, Note, Photo or Point. It stays visible on the map.
Pause: Suspends the collection of points; Resume starts it again.
Stop: Ends the recording and saves the track in the library.
Recording trail: The layer that draws the trail of what you are recording: it is switched off in Configure map.

On the map

The black bar at the top, the buttons on the left and those at the bottom.

Turns: The box of the bar with the next turn of the track you are following, even if you ride it in reverse. Without a subscription the ODOCAP subscription offer appears.
Speed: The speed from the GPS, in white.
Altitude: The altitude above sea level, in orange; --- when the GPS doesn't know it.
Bar instruments: In Configure map, before the layers, switch Track km, Turn indicator, Scale, Speed and Altitude in the top bar on and off.
Online maps: The last box of the bar: green with online maps, yellow with offline ones. Tap it to switch between Online maps and Offline maps.
Back to track: After Navigate to POI it appears next to the maps and takes you back to the track; the X closes the detour.
Zoom +: In the column on the left: Zoom + and Zoom - zoom the map in and out.
Centre position: The last button on the left keeps the map on your position; tap it again to move the map by hand.
Double tap to lock: The padlock at the bottom right locks the touchscreen: the map ignores taps and the switched-on boxes of the bar stay. Double tap to unlock too.
SOS button: With an active event or share, at the top right: it opens the SOS panel over the map.
Navigate to POI: Tap a POI or a flag on the map and press Navigate to POI: it takes you to that point.

Navigation

The first item of the menu: you search for a destination, choose how you get there and go, like with a satnav.

Where do you want to go?: Search for a destination opens the search: write a place, an address or a point of interest and choose among the suggestions.
History: The button below the search: the last ten destinations.
How you get there: Road, Bike or On foot. By bike there is also Off-road bike.
Off-road: Only on Road: how much off-road you want towards the destination, from fastest to 100%. Among the routes found, the one closest to this percentage wins.
Avoid: Motorways, Tolls, Ferries and Unpaved roads. By bike and on foot only Ferries remains.
Start: Guidance starts: the map follows your position in the direction of travel and the voice reads the manoeuvres.
Automatic recalculation: If you leave the route, guidance recalculates it; Off route after says after how many metres: 30, 50, 100 or 200.
End: Ends the guidance; in the menu it is End guidance.
Point on the map: Keep your finger still on the map: ODOCAP calculates the route to that point and shows it to you, then you set off with Start. With a Create route A → B open, the finger picks the arrival instead and regenerates it; with a Loop the finger does nothing, and neither does dragging.
Voice: Voice guidance switches the voice on. In Voice there is a folder for each language: choose the voice (on Android Giulia, Luca, Matteo or Andrea) and listen to it with Try the voice. The most natural voices are downloaded from the phone settings.
Navigation maps: In Offline maps, Navigation maps: with a single tap every area in the catalogue brings the map and the navigation to calculate routes and search addresses, even without a network. It is ready when both are there; the bin removes them together. To just follow a track, GPX maps is enough and lighter.
Track: The first box of the bar, while you follow a track: the km done and the total of the track.

Create route

The second item of the menu: a loop or a route from A to B with the dirt you want, to follow or to save as a track.

Loop: A loop that starts and ends at the start.
A → B: From one point to another, with the dirt you ask for.
Search for the start: Search for a place or choose From current position. With Start A the next tap on the map is the start; without a start, your GPS position is used.
Search for the destination: For A → B: search for a place, or press End B and tap the map.
Distance: For the Loop: the km of the ride.
Ride radius: For the Loop: how far from the start the ride can go; at zero it is automatic.
How far to roam: For the Loop: stay local, normal or explore.
How much longer than the direct route: For A → B: how much longer the route can get to find dirt.
Desired off-road share: From 0 to 100%: how much of the route you want off the asphalt.
Generate route: Calculates the suggestions: choose one. Edit reopens the choices, Regenerate redoes the suggestions.
Start: Follows the created route without recalculating it: if you leave it, the box says how far it is to get back.
Save as track: Puts the route among the GPX tracks, with its name and the km. Without a subscription the ODOCAP subscription offer appears.
Take me to the start: If you are far from the start of the created route, it takes you there with navigation; once there, press Start.
View the map: Moves the panel out of the way without throwing the route away; Reopen brings it back.
Unsaved route: A route closed with the X stays in Create route until you save it: Resume puts it back on the map, Discard throws it away.

Remember

Tapping a track in the list switches it on or off: only the switched-on tracks are on the map.
Tracks from Events and Position sharing cannot be exported or moved to the cloud: they are for taking part.
During an event, with an event track in the library or in a share you didn't create, ODOCAP blocks local track recording.
The tracks of an event arrive switched on and go away at the end of the event; your tracks and your maps stay.
A map included in your account is downloaded once and stays yours; during a running event maps can always be downloaded.
Without a subscription, once the trial is over, imported GPX tracks are shown on the map but are not saved: the next time you open the app they are gone. The tracks of an event are always saved.
With the ODOCAP subscription you get Turns, track recording and unlimited offline maps.
Follow track also works if you ride the track backwards: after a few seconds in the new direction the turns adapt.
Navigation and address search work without a network, with the areas downloaded from Navigation maps, in Offline maps.
Every Navigate in the app, also from SOS and from the RoadBook PRO coordinates, opens this navigation.

If something does not work

If the GPX does not load, try a file exported as Track or Route.
If the map doesn't centre the route, switch on at least one track and press Center tracks.
If Export GPX says Protected track, the track comes from Events or Position sharing.
If Record track says Recording blocked, stop the preview or wait for the end of the event or of the share.
If POIs do not appear, open POI from the menu, enable a category and zoom in.
If the map is empty close up, the offline map of that area is missing: download it from Offline maps.
If From the cloud shows no tracks, sign in to the ODOCAP Account and check the Cloud space.
If an imported track is gone when you reopen the app: without the ODOCAP subscription imported tracks are not saved.
If navigation says the area is missing, download it from Offline maps, Navigation maps: a ready area has the map and the navigation.
If you read that regions are missing for this route, the message says which ones: download them from Offline maps, Navigation maps.
