AI Planner Guide
Tell the planner where you want to ride. It builds the motorcycle route you would actually choose.
How to ask
Type a normal sentence, the way you would tell a friend. Start with where you want to go — that is the part the planner builds everything else around. Then add how you want the journey shaped.
- Say where. An origin and a destination.
“Munich to Innsbruck” - Shape the journey. Ask it to stay off motorways or tolls.
“Munich to Innsbruck avoiding motorways” - Add a useful stop. Coffee or fuel, where you want it.
“Munich to Innsbruck with a coffee stop halfway” - Ask for an iconic road. Name the pass and it is routed over, not near.
“Bolzano to Bormio via Stelvio Pass”
Iconic motorcycle roads
Name the pass and the route is built over it.
“Bolzano to Bormio via Stelvio Pass”
Forty-eight hairpins on the north ramp, routed as the road you came for rather than a line that happens to pass nearby.
“Andermatt to Airolo via Furka Pass”
Over the pass itself, with the Rhône glacier on the way up.
“Chamonix to Martigny via Col de la Forclaz”
Crosses the border over the col instead of taking the tunnel underneath it.
“Cortina d'Ampezzo to Canazei via Passo Pordoi”
Through the Dolomites on the pass road, not the valley route around it.
“Cluj to Sibiu via Transfăgărășan”
Takes the long way deliberately, over the Făgăraș ridge.
“Interlaken to Meiringen via Grimsel Pass”
Over the Grimsel rather than straight along the valley floor.
Smart stops
Ask for coffee or fuel and say roughly where you want it.
“Munich to Innsbruck with a coffee stop halfway”
Puts the stop near the middle of the ride rather than five minutes from where you started.
“Munich to Innsbruck with fuel halfway”
Places fuel where the tank will actually want it.
“Munich to Innsbruck with a Shell stop”
Name the brand and it looks for that brand, not the nearest station of any kind.
“Bolzano to Bormio via Stelvio Pass with a coffee stop”
The pass and the stop together — the road you asked for, with somewhere to pull over.
Route preferences
Tell it what to keep you off.
“Cluj to Sibiu avoiding motorways”
Keeps you off motorways for the whole route, not just the first junction.
“Bolzano to Bormio avoiding tolls”
Routes around the toll roads rather than through them.
Getting a better result
Start with where.A route needs somewhere to go. “Cluj to Sibiu avoiding motorways” gives the planner more to work with than a mood on its own.
Name the place you mean. If a road or pass has a name, use it. Named roads are matched against the real geography rather than guessed at.
Ask again. Regenerating gives a different interpretation of the same request. If the first route is not the ride you pictured, ask again or adjust one detail.
Check the preview before you ride. The route overview shows distance, duration and every stop in order. Nothing starts until you tap through.
What it will not do
If a stop you asked for cannot be found near your route, the planner tells you rather than quietly dropping it or sending you somewhere else. A plan that cannot honour your request is not presented as one that did.
It does not hold you to a clock. You can say how far you want to go, but treat the time on the overview as an estimate of the route it built, not a promise it was built to fit.
Route guidance can be incomplete or out of date. Roads close, passes shut for the season, and fuel stations keep their own hours. Judge the road in front of you.
