Rods — Corner & Road Alerts

Rods is your personal co-driver. It analyzes any road and calls out every corner before you arrive — the direction, how sharp it is, whether it tightens or opens, and the distance to the next one. It also warns you about speed bumps, chicanes, and surface changes and other road hazards along the way.

Pick a road. Drive. And hear what's coming:

Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100"
Advanced mode: "Left 3 tightens, into Right 5, 100."

No more guessing what's around the next bend.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set a start and end point on any road
2. Rods analyzes every corner along the route
3. Tap Drive and hear callouts through your speakers
4. Each corner is announced before you arrive

It's the same kind of corner callouts used in professional rally — but generated automatically for any road, anywhere.

WHAT YOU HEAR

Every corner is described by:
• Direction — left or right
• Severity — Easy, Medium, or Hard in simple mode or 1 (tightest hairpin) to 6 (gentle curve) in Advanced
• Shape — tightens, opens, long, very long
• Sequence — "into" links consecutive corners
• Distance — yards/meters to the next corner

Road hazards and features are called out too:
• Speed bumps and dips
• Chicanes and narrowings
• Bridges and tunnels
• Speed cameras
• Surface changes — gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections

Example on a mountain pass:
"Right 4 long, 80. Left 2 tightens, into Right 3, 50. Caution, speed bump. Left 5."
