Useful applications

February 27, 2023

There are plenty of applications and websites that are useful before, during, and after the trip. Furkot's goal is to complement them rather than to replace them. To that end we provide options to [import] and export trip plans in a variety of formats. We pull data from multiple sources and we direct users there for more information. We offer shortcuts to launch travel-related applications. With your permission, we also provide 3rd party applications and websites access to your trip plans.

We are always on the lookout for useful and compatible applications and websites. This page lists a few that we've verified to work well with Furkot. If there is an application that you think Furkot should work with, please email us.

Map and navigation applications

Furkot implements a standard way of launching map and navigation apps on phones and tablets and will work with all applications that follow these generally accepted standards.

Furkot may already support your preferred map and navigation app. On Android devices Furkot works with any map and navigation app that subscribes to the same intent URL as Google Maps and the Default Map App (common intent geo:). On both Apple iOS and Android apps that support GPX or KML files can be used to open such files exported from Furkot.

Specifically, Furkot supports the following applications:

Regardless of the phone, we would like Furkot to work with other map and navigation apps but we cannot test them all. You can help by testing apps you have installed on your phone following these instructions for Android or Apple iOS devices.

Access trip plans

Furkot allows third-party applications and websites to access users’ trip plans. Access is read-only and always requires your permission. You can revoke that permission at any time.

One of the applications that connects to Furkot is Scenic, the #1 rated motorcycle navigation app for Apple iOS and Android.
