PedalArrow

PedalArrow combines bike navigation, route planning and cycling events in Munich and the surrounding region—from the first idea to the completed ride.

DISCOVER TOURS AND EVENTS

• Find ADFC tours, courses, technical events, local groups and more
• Filter by date, distance, difficulty, pace, surface and other details
• Save events, open the original source, or pass details to calendar and contacts
• Compare meeting points on an OpenStreetMap map

PLAN AND NAVIGATE ROUTES

• Plan bike routes with up to five intermediate stops
• Choose relaxed, balanced or direct routing
• Review distance, duration, elevation, gradients and desired arrival time
• Import, review, organise, share and navigate GPX files locally
• Record a ride with a visible status and save it only when you choose
• Detect deviations conservatively and reroute only with a reliable position

USEFUL INFORMATION ON THE WAY

• Find nearby drinking water, repair shops, toilets, cafés, pharmacies and more
• View forecasts and climate context for a planned ride
• Compare MVV public-transport connections with available real-time information
• Consider Bavarian holidays, school breaks and selected travel information
• Use optional offline spoken guidance
• Deliberately start one of seven official Bavaria Radio live streams

DATA-MINIMISING AND TRANSPARENT

PedalArrow requires no account and operates no advertising, analytics or tracking system of its own; it does not use an advertising ID. Radio streams are started deliberately, are provided by the respective broadcaster and may contain broadcaster advertising. Saved favourites and routes are encrypted in private app storage excluded from Android backup. Precise location is requested only for deliberately started location features; PedalArrow does not request background-location permission. Online features send only the necessary inputs directly to the services identified in the app. Local app data can be deleted centrally.

PedalArrow is a non-binding planning and orientation aid. Traffic rules, signs, official instructions and actual conditions take precedence. Do not operate the app while riding. PedalArrow is independently published; names and links identify sources and services and do not imply official or joint publication.
