Follow the trace
Any GPX file.
Real navigation.
The track you found — from any site, any app — becomes spoken, turn-by-turn guidance. On a bike, on foot, on skis, running.
No subscription · No account · Offline maps
Setup
Drop it in. That's it.
Balise reads your GPX and prepares the turn call-outs. And if the track carries none, it sets its own waymarks at the real changes of direction.
Voice guidance
It talks to you.
“In 200 metres, turn left.”
Every turn is called out before you reach it, timed to how fast you're actually moving. Eyes on the trail — phone in your pocket.
On the trail
Readable in full sun.
A navigation mode drawn for the outdoors: maximum contrast, heavy type, zero distraction.
- The map turns with you — not with north.
- Slope in colours: climb, flat, descent.
- Distance, time left and the next waymark at a glance.
Trust
Never lost.
Took a wrong fork? Balise tells you — a clean tone that cuts through wind and helmet — and points you back to the trace.
- Off-route alert: distance, exit point, way back.
- Offline maps packed before you leave.
- The session resumes by itself, even after a restart.
Profiles

Draw. Repair. Waymark.

- Draw a track that follows real paths — elevation included.
- Snap a sketchy GPX back onto the trails, in one move.
- Automatic waymarks on tracks that carry none.
