An independent route planner built for motorcycle rides
Strada helps riders prepare multi-stop routes, use the navigation app they already trust, and keep a useful record when the ride is over.
Strada is an independent iOS, iPadOS and watchOS app developed by Berardino Chiarello. It exists for the work that happens around navigation: deciding the stops, shaping the route, carrying that plan into a map app, and remembering enough to improve the next ride.
A planner, deliberately
Motorcyclists already have access to capable turn-by-turn navigation. The harder problem is often preparing a day with several meaningful stops and keeping that plan understandable when it changes.
Strada keeps the itinerary editable. You can search for places, order the stops, add notes, inspect the route, and then hand navigation to Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze. The destination app remains responsible for turn-by-turn guidance and can recalculate the road line after opening.
Useful on the wrist, complete in the main app
The iPhone and iPad app is where routes are created and edited. The Apple Watch companion shows non-completed routes and their stops without turning the watch into a miniature route editor.
Apple Maps can open directly on Apple Watch. Starting or stopping a ride, Google Maps, and Waze require the paired iPhone to be reachable. That boundary matters before departure.
The route remains yours
Strada does not require an account, run ads, or use cross-app tracking. Routes stay in app data and can sync through the rider's own iCloud environment. Optional analytics and crash reporting remain off until the user opts in.
Route sharing is a deliberate action. A rider can export a .strada file for another Strada user, export GPX for compatible tools, or keep a local backup. Strada is not a public route network or a live-location social feed.
Limits stated before the road
Strada currently uses Apple MapKit automobile directions. It does not claim motorcycle-specific routing, choose scenic roads automatically, optimize stop order, or import GPX. Road suitability, closures, weather, and safe operation remain the rider's responsibility.
Those limits are part of an honest product description, not fine print. The feature pages and practical guides explain what each workflow can do before a rider depends on it.
