With MotoLert
Start a ride without entering an address
You know the way or simply want to head out for a ride. MotoLert is designed to show your position and speed alongside nearby enforcement zones and reported hazards. You can view that information without starting navigation. A destination can then become part of the ride.
Premium adds motorcycle navigation and live group locations. You can see where the other riders are during a group outing. Live locations need a connection. MotoLert plans a free version with advertising. Premium removes advertising and adds navigation and group features.

After the ride
Keep a complete history of your motorcycle
The MotoLert garage is intended to bring mileage and maintenance together with the parts used. An invoice records the work performed. A photo can document a part or an observed condition. Your motorcycle documents stay in the same place.
Before servicing you can find earlier work. Before selling you can prepare a clear history with supporting records. Detecht also has a garage. You can add and edit motorcycles and equipment on your rider profile. MotoLert focuses on maintenance and its supporting documents to keep track of your motorcycle’s history.

Touring with Detecht
Plan a trip and track your rides
Detecht lets you plan routes and track rides. Navigation for your own routes is listed in the free plan. Premium adds winding routes and automatic round trips. It also supports navigation on other riders’ routes and GPX import and export.
Automatic crash detection is announced in both plans. Outside Sweden an alert can notify your registered contacts of your position. Live tracking for loved ones belongs to Premium. MotoLert does not claim crash detection. Live group locations serve a different purpose.

Before choosing
Check the features offered on your iPhone
Detecht lists road hazard warnings in both plans. Speed camera alerts require Premium and are unavailable in France according to the provider. Apple CarPlay is described as a beta in both plans. The iPhone listing includes seven languages without French.
A free download does not mean every feature is free. Check the plan and country before a trip. Prepare your phone while stationary too. Heat and vibration remain hardware constraints whichever app you choose. Follow the phone and accessory manufacturers’ guidance before mounting it.
