Ride the route. Know the story. Don't miss the good stuff.

What is ADVGuide?

ADVGuide is a location-aware audio tour app designed to turn any Backcountry Discovery Route into a fully guided adventure. Instead of simply following a track, you experience the ride as it unfolds—stories, history, and practical insights delivered automatically based on your exact location.

As you ride, ADVGuide knows where you are and what matters around you. It plays the right content at the right time—highlighting hidden landmarks, explaining the history behind the terrain, and helping you understand the places you’re passing through. There’s no need to follow a schedule, stop to look things up, or rely on cell service. Just download your route ahead of time, start the tour, and ride.

The goal is simple: help you get more out of every mile.

BDR routes are already some of the most incredible rides out there—but much of their story is easy to miss if you don’t know where to look. ADVGuide fills in those gaps, adding context and meaning without getting in the way of the ride. It’s designed to be a companion, not a distraction—speaking up when it matters, and staying quiet when it doesn’t.

Think of it as a knowledgeable local guide riding along with you—one that knows the terrain, the history, and the moments worth paying attention to.

Because the ride isn't just about where you go…
it's about what you discover along the way.

Recognizing the Backcountry Discovery Routes Organization

The Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) is a nonprofit dedicated to developing and preserving off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel across the United States. Their work goes far beyond simply mapping trails—they research, scout, and advocate for access to some of the most remote and scenic terrain in the country. Every BDR route represents countless hours of planning, coordination, and on-the-ground effort to create safe, sustainable, and unforgettable riding experiences.

We're incredibly grateful for what they've built. Without the dedication and passion of the BDR team, these routes—and the adventures they make possible—would not exist. ADVGuide is its own product and is not associated with Backcountry Discovery Routes.

Supporting Backcountry Discovery Routes is one of the best ways to ensure these routes continue to exist and grow. Their work depends on the riding community, and every contribution helps protect access, maintain routes, and develop new ones for future riders. We strongly encourage you to visit their support page and consider getting involved—because the future of these rides depends on it.
