ARI - Active Route Instrument
iPhone / Navigation
Meet ARI, a focused navigation tool for staying aligned with a route you choose.
Import a GPX route from your preferred mapping or fitness app, name it as a mission, and follow one clear mission line outdoors.
ARI is not a route planner. It does not suggest routes, recalculate paths, or infer your intent. Instead, it helps you maintain continuity along the route you selected.
Choose your direction before you start. Whether you’re heading out or returning from camp or favorite viewpoint, reverse the route when you need to follow the same mission line the other way.
And when plans change, ARI gives you a way to turn back. RTS (Return to Start) helps you follow your active mission back toward where you began — useful when daylight, trail conditions, weather, or your own judgment says it is time to return.
Designed for trail movement, ARI uses a calm visual display, heading-aligned view, and focused HUD instrumentation to reduce ambiguity while you move.
Why ARI feels different
• Mission-based navigation — Import a GPX route, name it, and start with intent.
• One mission line — Keep your attention on the route you chose.
• No recalculation — ARI does not replace your judgment or choose alternate paths.
• Start either direction — Reverse a GPX route before starting when your trail begins from the other end.
• Return to Start — Use RTS when plans change and you need to follow your active route back.
• Direct-To support — When off route, DiTo helps you orient back toward your mission line.
• Outdoor instrumentation — Trip, speed, pace, heading, distance-to-go, and ETA support your movement.
ARI is built for hikers, walkers, trail runners, and outdoor explorers who want a clearer relationship to their route without constantly interpreting a busy map. Have greater clarity before coming up on the next junction.
Use ARI as a reference alongside your preparation, awareness, and backup navigation plan. GPS accuracy, terrain, canopy, weather, battery state, and route data can affect what any navigation tool shows.
One mission. One line.
