What can you do on Naviki?

Attempts to find practical, and particularly beautiful, routes for bicycles with the help of a navigation system often ended in disappointment, since many of the best cycle routes follow less wellknown roads and paths that are outside the common road system. Until now, these innumerable “hidden paths” could rarely be found by someone travelling in an area where they did not already know their way around.

Naviki is a new type of navigation system based on OSM data as well as on tracks contributed by Naviki users. Naviki is specialised on bike routing. With Naviki it is possible to find ideal bike routes, even in unfamiliar areas - conveniently and quickly on www.naviki.org

Naviki – the easy way to discover secret paths

When you make a routing enquiry you can indicate whether you prefer the quick or the scenically beautiful way of travelling. Naviki then combines different bike routes so that you obtain a suitable route from your given starting-point to your destination - as easily as in road navigation, and designed specifically for the bike.

How does Naviki obtain the cyclist’s knowledge?

In Naviki any cyclist can publish their recommended routes online. In this way a comprehensive collection will develop. Apart from information about the route itself, you can also enter hints about any major or minor notable detail along the way. OSM data plus this information forms the basis on which new routes are calculated for other Naviki users.

Who is the developer?

Naviki is being developed and contineously improved by Münster University of Applied Sciences, Germany. The beta version is available since the end of 2009.

PermaLink

In order to show just the map in a certain position and zoom level you may skip the start and end parameters and use the permalink parameters (otherwise you'll see a map of Germany):

• lon = longitude (centre of the map)
• lat = latitude (centre of the map)
• zoom = zoom level
