Navigation
Maps and turn-by-turn directions on the scooter display. The feature that unu promised but never shipped.
How it works
The DBC displays local map tiles and calculates routes with Valhalla, without an internet connection.
- Offline map display using pre-rendered OpenStreetMap tiles stored in an
.mbtilesfile - Offline routing with Valhalla running locally on the dashboard computer
- Turn-by-turn directions shown while riding
- Saved locations for quick access to frequent destinations
- Street name labels from the offline tiles
- 3D or 2D view, with the 2D view switchable between heading-up and north-up
- Route preferences: fastest or shortest, and adjustable cobblestone avoidance
Online option
If you have a SIM card installed, you can also use online map tiles and a remote routing server. Both map display and routing can be independently switched between offline and online mode.
Getting started
Download map and routing tiles for your region and transfer them to the scooter via USB.
Coverage
Pre-built tile packages are available for all 16 German states (Berlin and Brandenburg share one file), plus Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Île-de-France and Alsace in France, Mallorca and the Balearic Islands, Vienna and Graz in Austria, Kanton Zürich in Switzerland, and Italy's Nord-Ovest region. For other regions, generate tiles from any OpenStreetMap extract using maptool (display) or the standard Valhalla build process (routing).
