A map for motorcycle travellers. It shows other riders who are on the road near you and the spots they have marked: wild camps, water, workshops, photo stops and local secrets. You find good places, leave your own, and say hello to people going the same way. Around that: GPX tracks with turn-by-turn directions on screen, an expedition planner, offline maps and free stays with other riders.
Yes. The map, riders nearby, spots, messages and hosting are free, and so are opening, riding and sharing GPX tracks. There are no ads and no selling of data. The free version keeps up to five tracks, one expedition and offline maps for up to four countries. Pro, an optional subscription in the iPhone app for long trips, lifts those limits; its price is shown in the app before you buy. Two Wheels Apart is built and run by one traveller.
Riders can offer another rider a bed, a tent spot or a garage for a night, always free. You switch it on in your profile. Hosts appear as a house on the map; ask for a night, and once the host accepts you get the exact place. After the stay, both sides leave a reference.
Only verified profiles can host or ask: a confirmed email address, a profile photo, 18 or older and an account at least a week old. A host shows up only about two kilometres from home until a stay is accepted. References appear once both sides have written one, or after 14 days, and you can report or block anyone. Use your own judgement: Two Wheels Apart connects riders, the stay itself is between you.
You can open the map and look around without one. To appear on the map yourself, message another rider or add a spot, you sign up with an email and a password or with Sign in with Apple (on Android also with Google), and pick a name and a username. You need to be 18 or older. Everything else on your profile is optional.
No. Other riders only ever get a displaced point, usually a few hundred metres to about a kilometre from where you are. While you stay in the same area that point stays exactly the same, so it cannot be narrowed down by watching it over time; when you move on, a new, independent point appears. Sharing is off until you switch it on, and off again the moment you switch it back. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Places worth knowing about, dropped as a pin: a wild camp, drinkable water, a workshop that will lend you a bench, a view worth stopping for, or a local secret. Each has a category, an optional description and photos. Campsites also carry a price.
Any signed-in rider can add a spot, and anyone can add photos to a spot. It is a shared gallery, so a place fills out over time as more people pass through. You can remove a photo you added, and the rider who created a spot can moderate the photos on it.
Yes. A spot is public by default, but you can mark it private when you add it or later. A private spot appears only to you, so a favourite wild camp you would rather not see overrun stays yours alone.
Yes. A deleted spot disappears from the map straight away, but in the app it waits under Profile → Spots → Deleted spots, where one tap puts it back, photos included. You can also remove it from that list for good. How deleted spots are kept on our server is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Yes, if you download first. In the app you download whole regions as offline maps. In a downloaded region the map with hillshading and contour lines, turn-by-turn navigation, search for towns, fuel, camping, beds and food, the region’s spots and the elevation profile all work without a connection. The free version covers up to four countries. How to prepare a trip without signal: offline motorcycle navigation.
More than 190 countries and territories (as of October 2026): 50 in Europe, from Iceland and Norway to Portugal, the Balkans, Turkey, Georgia and Ukraine, 38 in Asia, from Central Asia, Mongolia and Iran to India, Japan and Indonesia, 55 in Africa, 27 in the Americas from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and 23 in Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. Online, the map works worldwide.
Yes. You ride tracks and routes with turn-by-turn directions on screen, a long track also in sections, with the direction and the place where you join it of your choice. There are no spoken instructions.
Yes. Import a GPX under Profile → Tracks → Import GPX, and ride it with turn-by-turn directions on screen, also without signal in a downloaded region. The Trans Euro Trail publishes its GPX for your own use: you download it from transeurotrail.org yourself and import it. How that works on the trail: the TET with GPX.
Two Wheels Apart is an app for iPhone (iOS) and Android. There is no version that runs in the browser.
English and German. The app follows the language of your phone: German phones get German, every other language gets English.
Two Wheels Apart is free. Get it on the App Store for iPhone or on Google Play for Android.
Everywhere. The map is worldwide. It is most useful wherever riders are actually out travelling, and it grows as more of them add what they find.
Not yet. It is early, real and still being shaped. Things may change, and you may find the odd rough edge. If you hit a bug, have an idea or just want to say hello, write to support@twowheelsapart.com. Feedback from the first riders shapes what gets built next.
