Built for organisers. Free for entrants.
The in-car app costs nothing — capture courses, follow a shared roadbook, and hand it to every competitor at no charge. A plan is what unlocks authoring on the web platform.
Pick the one that matches how often you run events
The in-car app: precision trip meter, course capture with voice notes, and any roadbook an organiser shares with you. No cost to your entrants.
Web authoring for a single author, two-way cloud sync between phone and desktop, pacenote capture and editing, and every export including vector PDF.
Everything in Personal, plus the auto-generated itinerary, custom event branding, distribution to entrants, and a multi-author Team - licence includes 2 users.
All the commercial features plus the ability to use custom Layers on top of your roadbook. Pro is the full management suite for your event. Also includes ready-only access for set up crews and officials.
Commercial features for one event you name — build and distribute it as a single author. No annual commitment, and no Pro features such as Layers.; ideal if you run a single rally a year.
What you need
Distance is measured from the vehicle itself over an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle — not from GPS. That is what makes the numbers accurate under trees and in valleys, and repeatable, so every crew runs the same distances. The dongle is required for anything that measures distance.
- ✅ An OBD2 Bluetooth (BLE) dongle — ELM327 compatible
- ✅ An iPhone running the free Roadbook Studio app
- ✅ A vehicle with a standard OBD2 port (most cars from around 2006)
- ✅ Any desktop browser to author on the web — nothing to install
- ✅ Works offline in the car — no mobile signal needed to capture
- ✕ GPS-derived distance — deliberately not offered; it drifts
- ✕ A dongle, if you only ever receive and read a shared roadbook
