Since this video, the RallyNavigator mobile app works on both Android and iOS and it works with any PDF file. So if you have a roadbook event people can all use the same app.
Man, i wish i had seen this great video before.. Over here inAustralia we have great trails to ride. Now I know how to do those road books.. Thank you so much...
great video as always. I really love the passion you put in your videos. This was the main thing that kept me watching your videos throughout the last year. But in my opinion your video quality has increased immensly, while your still keeping that passion and motivation. Thanks for the videos and all the advice. Waiting to buy myself a tenere later this year and will absolutly try out to do a little rally myself.
Great video. There needs to be ONE site where everyone can share our digital rally roadbooks. This could be the best open source ADV and street riding tool ever.
Great video! I always knew that making a roadbook, even with the modern tools, is a lot of work but after watching this I have even more respect for the guys that create roadbooks for others to enjoy!
This was really well done Robert, nice and detailed without splitting atoms. Thank you, and this is something i just need to try myself. The best part is, you can have alot of fun and share different routes with mates you can't ride with every day. Cheers.
Hi there, first of all I woldlike to say thank you for your videos. I rally apreaciate that you put so much effort into your videos - thx! Apart from many other vidoes this especially attracted my attention. Quit interessting. I'm sure I'll put a roadbook together myself - for sure. While I was searching for some information about roadbook navigation I came across another youtube video. That specific video recomanded for learning how to read a ralley roadbook the following application: "Dakar 18 Road Book Viewer" available e.g. at the Google Playstore. I thought it might be interessint for you and may be you give it a shoot. Again, you're doing a pretty good job - please carry on. Best regards from Germany Jan
Great video. Making the road book was easy. Getting it to work with DMD2 with the free version was a no go. I couldn't download a PDF file, only a rnr file. Unfortunately I can see myself using it enough to warrant a subscription.
That's a fab professional approach how u created this video explanation. I have a question. What did u use record the gpx track from while riding please? Tks.
Thanks! I use drivemode dashboard or locus maps. Most nav apps have a rec feature. It saves a gpx file on the phone when you stop and save. The. Transfer to computer.
Very nice video, how do you scroll through the roadbook on your motorcycle by using your thumb? Is that standard equipment on the Teneré? I would love to have that on my bike as well!
very informative video, this is the video i m looking for. Hi sir, at 06:01 is your start point. How do i change if i want the start point to be the ending point. Thank you
Thank you :) In the software there is an option to reverse the track with one click in the menu. I am now using the desktop version of Rally Navigator.
@@NomadSweden Thank you, i have a question. I saw you using RN creating the Roadbook in the webrowser. I m using RN in iMac desktop using the software. Using the RN software I can add the waypoint using opt click. Please advice. Which is better using the RN web browser or the software. One think i forgot. The map detail in the browser is good and the software is no good no road name. Also in the display in the screen on the left there are 3 box. left is the km. center is where i put the sign and the right is the note. On the left box i find one of it turn to green, can you explain to me, what it means. Thank you for your time.
Great video mate. Loads of good information. Did you explore possibility of connecting bluetooth media control? You said that there is a possibility but I'm not sure when it pair how it will actually work. Any idea?
Looks like a lot of fun - need to try that sometime. Can you remind me what is the phone mount you are using on your navigation bar above the dashboard. I believe you covered that in another video, thanks.
Well done Robert! Really good content I'm sure you helped a lot of people with this tips (me included). Hope to find you somewhere around "Småland grusvägar" when winter is over. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Great video as always. It’s looking to be a good thing to do in the winter. I guess that a lot of the inspection can be done from a car. Then off course you have to ride it on a bike when the snow is gone.
A really great video - thanks for that, the professional execution is really second to none! The whole subject appeals to me all the more because I have been professionally involved with roadbooks for many years as I offer motorcycle tours as a tour operator using roadbooks for navigation. Recently, however, the criticism of the anachronistic principle with paper, tripmaster and roadbook holder - everyone using its own hardware of course - has become louder and louder. This is a great pity, because in my opinion, the roadbook principle has by far the advantage over simply following a GPS track on the navigation device - especially when it comes to additional information or warnings. The development of soft- and hardware in the meantime is very promising and will certainly make me change my mind sooner or later. One thing, however, remains the same: the effort of creating a good roadbook not only requires a fair amount of diligence and precision, first and foremost you also have to know the relevant routes!
Thank you! Proud to receive cheers and input from a veteran in the subject. This is so much fun but as you pointbout, also a superior way of navigating a fixed route.
As usual, a great video 👍 Have thought about testing roadbooks myself for some time now, and upcoming season i´m gona try it out for real. Thanks R.B. 😉
Nice job NS !! Thanks again for your tremendous effort, thoughtful quality and intuitiveness of your vids. I have a much better understanding of Rally Navigator now. I will have to look up how to correct the odom if you take a wrong turn and come back to that point from which you executed. Where I get confused is the "saving" functions, exporting functions, importing, opening etc.. yes I lack some skills but more than make up for it in "looks" LOL ! (not really..)
Thanks Steve! Yes the exports is a chapter in it self but then if you only use rallynavigator app you dont get that hassle. Just login with the app the the book is there. 🙏
Hi great video and thanks for simplified approach of creating and navigating. I also wanted to know what mobile mount you are using and can you put a detailed video of mobile mounting and the application and hardware you are using to use the mobile while riding and scrolling up and down thru the handle bar... thanks in advance and happy riding
Dear Robert and friends, great video, lots of knowledge. But I'm not quote convinced from leaving Garmin Zumo. Just the right OSM map needed, much quicker to plan a tour from the PC at home. Of course, we all have to double-check in reality and ride the tour. Your Rally Navigator roadbook looks a lot like Dakar, that's ultraprofessional, and pimped-up compared to good old Garmin. So where's the real advantage except those nice tulips? Cheers, Günter
Hi Günther. Roadbooks are for rallies, as a challenge for navigating. A sport or a fun event. It is not to be compared with a Garmin which does not even do roadbooks. Still, it does has advantages since it contains detailed warnings and info about certain sections on a challenging track. Another commenter in this video does tours as a profession and use it for tracks that are re-used often, because of the detail. But, to make a route once and then ride it, you would never make a roadbook. Garmins are made to navigate with no effort. Roadbooks is the opposite.
@@NomadSweden Hi Robert, thanks for your quick reply. Now I understand. Maybe I should try roadbooks for a change, for a challenge ;-) I like your advice concerning a Samsung phone with apps and Carpe Iter. Cheers, Günter
Roadbooks are for sport and it’s great fun. It has nothing to do with just following a line. It’s how all rallies are done because it’s about navigation challenge.
This was my question also while watching the video. I think the allure is that with a roadbook you don't see the full route before hand (on full map anyways). It's kind of a challenge/fun to find the correct route based off the information you are given which may excite the rider more than just turn by turn. Also, the roadbook can provide more information than just a gpx track. You could warn rider of a dog that always runs out or washboard, etc. I hear you, my thought was the same as yours, why not just share the gpx but I get the allure of the roadbook.
Hello, Thanks for the excellent video. You phone app shows the roadbook on landscape mode. On my phone is not possible. Only portrait.. Do you use Android or IOS? What is the app you are using? Thanks Joaquim
Thank you for this, Im learning on this rally thing and this will for sure help. Sign in for this Rally Navigator app. And for telling about the app for the roadbook in my mobile. Great video, great help, thank you ;)
Excellent videos, BTW! Also, could use a tutorial on how to connect a bluetooth music controller to Drive Mode for Android...and FYI, funny I have the exact same "extra" phone for my motorcycle-mounted roadbook...Thumbs Up!
Is note 12.09 useful? Consider to remote every note that doesnt need be there. Sometimes is nice to have a control note, that is if its a long distance to the next one.
You mean 11.09? Left turn to gravel? Do you have a rule of thumb, maximum distance without note? (This is food for a step 2 tutorial... right now it's about getting people to try and have fun)
Nicely explained and you got me onto making and driving roadbooks as well now!! However i do find it a pity that drive mode dashboard 2 only works on the smartphone in landscape mode and the rally navigator app only works decently in portrait mode.. Until dmd2 can work in portrait mode or rallynavigator app in landscape..I now export the roadbooks in pdf and use the piste roadbook app on my android smartphone, which works on landscape mode launched from within dmd2. I love it.. and thanks again for the 👌 video
It's great fun! I agree with the orientation thing. I run all in landscape and I hope RallyNavigator makes a version for that. But I exsport to PDF just as well.
Great tutorial Robert! There was a time, not thet far back, when our passionated ex Aussie Troy Safari Carpente arranged fun roadbook events like Coast to Coast in southern Sweden owing other events. As well together with SOE (Svenska Offroadentusiasterna) and the Dakar Princess Annie Seel, arranged a very sophisticated bake rally / race in mid Sweden. The first just to inspire to learn roadbook navigation and have fun. The latter very serious with seasoned contenders with ambitions to contend at international races, also an ambition to see if the Swedish Motorsport Association (Svenska Motorsportsförbundet) could be interested in supporting and arrange cross country bike races in Sweden. It seems very difficult to rise an interest for this from their officials though. With Your excellent influence the interest for roadbook rallys, at least for fun, could be raised again for advriders. Bukkerittet in Norway might be the last larger event and some in Finland may be the last of these events that have survived. For myself I've only tried this with paper rolls in a classic type of roadbook like 15 years ago 😂. Keep it up Robert, I will look in to a up to date solution 😁.
To light the roadbook spark again we need to get a broad mass to play and have fun. Its much more accessible now with all the apps and tools. I will make a small event this spring and hope others will follow 🔥
Another interesting video Robert😊 I have to try that out🙈 all the best to you for 2021 - Let’s hope we can all ride this year with less restrictions!!! I personally would like to do some TET in Sweden... Maybe even with a Road book on my mobile. Please continue, Inreally like what you do👍🏻
@@NomadSweden I asked because they say that with the Basic account you can "Make Basic Roadbooks Only" and with Premium versions they give way more benefits. Don't know for sure how the "Make Basic Roadbooks Only" is. Anyway, the Premium version is way better but being an annual subscription, it only makes sense for those who use it intensively. Thanks for your reply. Best regards
I looove this stuff ver much and you make it look really easy! But it is quite a lot of work if you try and convert the Swedish or any other country's TET into a road book...
Excellent video, really enjoyed it, thank you. Quick question as I'm new to this, do you have to scroll the road book manually or can you set it to scroll automatically in line with the trip?
Sorry for late answer. You have to scroll manually since most roadbook apps are using PDFs and don't know the distance for each instruction. There are other apps which could know distance, but they don't scroll auto either. Probably because it's set to imitate the paper roadbook.
Super good Video! Got me excited to ride and make roadblooks as well. Also very good tip to be able to use cheaper Bluetooth devices for scrolling. One Question: what app do you exactly use to record the trip (gpx file) ? Keep up the good work and ride safe!
hi, it all seems easy but I have 2 questions for you: 1- it is possible to import a GPS track recorded with other apps (gpx, kmz etc.). 2 Is it possible to prepare a road book not as a roll but as a matrix-type grid? thanks for your reply
@@NomadSwedenFirst of all thanks for the answer, it's complicated for me without being able to send you an example image, by matrix I mean the one in algebra or a composition by lines and columns. I could call it a table or a chessboard, this is how we prepare road books at our meetings.
You have to scroll manually. Optimally using a handle bar controller. The roadbook is just a PDF file and does not connect to GPS or ditance so it doesn't know where you are. Like a paper roadbook.
Which app are you using at your mobile phone to read the pdf roadbook? Very useful tutorial!!! Thanks! Edit: Ops, I saw you were using an app for iOS. Do you know something similar for Android?
Since this video, the RallyNavigator mobile app works on both Android and iOS and it works with any PDF file. So if you have a roadbook event people can all use the same app.
This video is one of the rare events that requires a "Love it" button. Brilliant presentation.
Thank you!
I couldn't agree more!
I can't believe people are making such an awesome, quality content on RUclips! Thank you, this is very useful and interesting! Sounds like great fun.
Thank you very much :)
Well ... I don't think that i ever need or use a Road Book like that.
But it was very interesting to see how it works and learn about it.
Thanks!😁👍
You never need a roadbook. You do it for a fun day out on the bike. Cheers
Wow, you really knocked it out of the park this time! Great video. I love this kind of stuff. Ciao, Marco.
Thank you!
WOW! Great job! Very detailed and easy to understand. Thank you for the hard work creating this video. Much appreciated.

This is awesome. Sounds like days of work, but a lot of fun.
Thanks Nerb1️⃣. Yes a great way to spend a day or two
That is awesome. Thank you for sharing. I'm goin to prep it during lock down in Australia then give it a whirl.
Thanks! This is fun all the way from making to riding
Thank you very much for a great video guide and details how to create our own roadbook. Much appreciated. Duke the Biker - Canada
Thanks Mr Duke 👍🏻
Awesome tutorial.
Ordinary riding is more fun for sunmori.
Fantastic done a couple of RB events for our local club, this looks like a great where to get closer to the real thing...thanks very much 🙂👍
Yes this is great fun and nowadays too easy not to do it
Great video...great work my fellow Canadian.....er....Swede. All the best from Canada!

Thank you! Looking forward 🎉
As always, nice video! At minute 4:39 you say you record on your navigation app... what app is that? Thanks!
Pretty much any navigation app can record gpx-files. Guru Map, Locus Map, OSMand, DMD2 etc
Great video. Making the road book was easy. Getting it to work with DMD2 with the free version was a no go. I couldn't download a PDF file, only a rnr file. Unfortunately I can see myself using it enough to warrant a subscription.

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing this 😊
Great, great video Robert, thanks for posting
Great video. When you were editing in Rally Navigator, it looked like you were using a mouse and keyboard. What hardware do you use for this. Cheers
Thanks. I use a mac. It can be used on both pc or mac

Nice Job!!!! Question ... did you at the moment change the way to take notes? how to take notes directly on the roadbook? Thanks
Thanks. I usually dont make notes but you can use apps to scribble on the pdf file
Very nice video, how do you scroll through the roadbook on your motorcycle by using your thumb? Is that standard equipment on the Teneré? I would love to have that on my bike as well!

Thank you! We will for sure go around Småland. Perhaps on some TST tracks.
Great video as always. It’s looking to be a good thing to do in the winter. I guess that a lot of the inspection can be done from a car. Then off course you have to ride it on a bike when the snow is gone.

Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you :)
Thanks for your support and job
Excellent video, really enjoyed it, thank you. Quick question as I'm new to this, do you have to scroll the road book manually or can you set it to scroll automatically in line with the trip?
Sorry for late answer. You have to scroll manually since most roadbook apps are using PDFs and don't know the distance for each instruction. There are other apps which could know distance, but they don't scroll auto either. Probably because it's set to imitate the paper roadbook.
hey big fan of you and the tenere even tho i don't have it but plan on gettting it
keep up the good work
Thank you! Means a lot!
Hi is it the rallyblitz road book app the one I need ??. Cheers Robert
If you have iPhone its a good choice or get rallynavigator
I really enjoyed this tutorial. Good work. Cheers
Thanks!
Great info!! Thank you for this. Gr from Holland
Glad you liked it
Super good Video! Got me excited to ride and make roadblooks as well. Also very good tip to be able to use cheaper Bluetooth devices for scrolling.
One Question: what app do you exactly use to record the trip (gpx file) ?
Keep up the good work and ride safe!
Thank you! I use Locus Map or Drivemode dashboard to record
I learned something new again lol. Thanks for this video! Very informative!
My mission is to make this common knowledge. Someone had to start 👊🏻✊🏻
Excellent and informative video Robert thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Excellent video thanks Robert...although my tiny brain is hurting a bit 🙃 🙂 🤪. Careful on the ice! Cheers, Steve

hi, it all seems easy but I have 2 questions for you: 1- it is possible to import a GPS track recorded with other apps (gpx, kmz etc.). 2 Is it possible to prepare a road book not as a roll but as a matrix-type grid? thanks for your reply
Hi. Yes you can import any gpx.
Not sure what you mean with matrix type grid? Never saw a roadbook like that
@@NomadSwedenFirst of all thanks for the answer, it's complicated for me without being able to send you an example image, by matrix I mean the one in algebra or a composition by lines and columns. I could call it a table or a chessboard, this is how we prepare road books at our meetings.
@@AndreaTomio-jp8cc I see. I don't know if this is available. Better check with rallynavigator who makes the software. Cheers
Excellent work Sir!! 👍
Thanks 😃🙏
Another great video. Thanks.
Thank for gr8 info & vid can't wait to give it a go 👍👍👍👍
Are these services free or are they some subscription style thingies?
To produce you need subscription. They need to eat also
@@NomadSweden Thanks. I understand. Just can't afford to pay any more subscriptions at the moment. Gotta eat too and usage would be very small
Verkar jättekul! Tack!
Vassego
thank you very much may have a little fun with this.
Hey mate does the phone scroll the page automatically during the ride after going through check points ???
You have to scroll manually. Optimally using a handle bar controller. The roadbook is just a PDF file and does not connect to GPS or ditance so it doesn't know where you are. Like a paper roadbook.
this is bloody perfect!
Takk for en flott video!!
Which app are you using at your mobile phone to read the pdf roadbook?
Very useful tutorial!!!
Thanks!
Edit: Ops, I saw you were using an app for iOS. Do you know something similar for Android?
Thanks, check the description. There is link to android apps.
sub'd, Greetz from Belgium. I drive Yamaha RMAX2 SE buggy. I have Garmin Tread SxS GPS. This seems totally different 😊
Welcome 😊
Thanks, learned a lot!
Happy to provide 👍🏻
Very informative..... Thanks for sharing!:
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks.
This is really cool. 😃
Awesome video. Very informative. Can you explain if GPS coordinates are used what is a benefit over just using GPS?
You mean benefit over using a line on the map? Nothing. This is a sport or fun event. Not the best way to navigate for real.
@@NomadSweden I like the idea of making notes/symbols to highlight areas or aid intersections recognition. Thanks for putting this up.
