Stracks Now Supports CarPlay and Android Auto: Offroad GPS on Your Vehicle or Motorcycle Screen

This is THE game-changing feature for 4x4, UTV, buggy, quad riders, and even motorcyclists with external screens. Stracks is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your favorite offroad GPS displays directly on your vehicle's built-in screen or motorcycle display (Carpuride, Carlinkit, etc.) for a safer, more readable, and immersive navigation experience.

Why CarPlay and Android Auto Change Everything for Offroad?

Until now, offroad navigation meant mounting your smartphone on the dashboard or handlebar with a bracket. It works, but comes with drawbacks: small screen, vibrations that damage your camera's stabilizer, sun glare, risk of falling or breaking. With CarPlay/Android Auto integration, your route displays on a dedicated screen—often larger, better protected, and perfectly readable.

• XXL Screen: Enjoy a display up to 10 or 12 inches depending on your vehicle, much more comfortable than a 6-inch smartphone.
• Native Integration: The Stracks map displays like any navigation app, with compatible steering wheel controls.
• Protected Phone: No need to expose your smartphone to vibrations, dust, or water splashes. It stays in your pocket or storage compartment.
• Maximum Focus: Eyes naturally stay on the central screen, like on the road. Less distraction, more safety.

Which Vehicles Are Compatible?

Most recent vehicles (4x4s, pickups, high-end UTVs) now include CarPlay or Android Auto as standard or optional. And motorcyclists aren't left out thanks to external displays!

• 4x4s and Pickups: Toyota Land Cruiser, Hilux, Ford Ranger, Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender, Suzuki Jimny (with compatible head unit)...
• UTV / Side-by-Side: Polaris RZR (with Ride Command kit), Can-Am Maverick (with 7" screen), CF Moto ZForce...
• Buggies and Custom Vehicles: Any vehicle equipped with an aftermarket CarPlay/Android Auto head unit (Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony...)
• Trail and Enduro Motorcycles: Motorcycle CarPlay/Android Auto screens like Carpuride, Carlinkit, Ottocast, Roadthunder... These waterproof screens (IP67) mount on the handlebar and offer a 5 to 7 inch display perfectly readable in sunlight.

The Motorcycle Screen Revolution (Carpuride & Co)

CarPlay/Android Auto compatible motorcycle screens like Carpuride, Carlinkit, or Ottocast are a revolution for trail and enduro riders. These waterproof units mount on the handlebar and offer all the benefits of a large screen without sacrificing ruggedness. Wireless or wired connection, high brightness for direct sunlight, and most importantly: your smartphone stays safe from vibrations that destroy camera stabilizers.

Average price: between $100 and $250 depending on screen size and features (wireless, built-in dashcam...). An investment quickly paid off when you consider the price of a high-end iPhone or Samsung.

How Does It Work?

Setup is super simple. No complex configuration needed.

• 1. Download or update Stracks on your iPhone or Android.
• 2. Connect your phone to your vehicle (USB cable or Bluetooth depending on your system).
• 3. Launch CarPlay or Android Auto on your vehicle's screen.
• 4. Open Stracks from the CarPlay/Android Auto interface.
• 5. You're ready! Generate your loop or start navigation as usual.

The app keeps all its features: smart loop generation, A-to-B offroad navigation, community-reported blocked points display, offline mode...

An Advantage Dedicated GPS Units Don't Have

Traditional offroad GPS units (Garmin, TomTom, Globe...) don't offer CarPlay or Android Auto integration. They remain confined to their small box mounted somewhere on the dashboard. With Stracks, you get the best of both worlds: the power of a dedicated offroad routing algorithm AND the ergonomics of a modern screen integrated into your vehicle.

"No more smartphone vibrating on the mount, no more screen unreadable in the sun. I launch Stracks on my Defender's 9-inch screen and ride." — A beta tester

Available Now

CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is available now in the latest version of Stracks on iOS and Android. Update the app and enjoy next-generation offroad navigation.

Offroad adventure has never been this comfortable.
