V-Twin Blog has been hard at work testing every digital tool available to ensure our journey is flawless. While knowing which tools to use is a great first step, having the direct access to them is what really gets the wheels turning. To help you get your own planning underway, we have compiled the direct links to our top ten resources.

The Ultimate Planning Toolkit

1. Harley-Davidson Ride Planner To begin with, this is the gold standard for the V-twin community. It allows you to create and export a .GPX file entirely for free, which can be loaded directly into your bike’s infotainment system. Furthermore, it marks every H-D dealership along your path for those necessary service stops.

2. Kurviger If you hate the interstate, Kurviger is a game-changer. Its algorithm specifically prioritizes winding backroads. Most importantly, it provides high-quality GPX exports that work seamlessly with most GPS units.

3. The Dyrt For those who prefer sleeping under the stars, The Dyrt is essential. It is the highest-rated app for finding campgrounds, allowing you to filter for “motorcycle-friendly” sites so you aren’t turned away after a long day in the saddle.

4. Rever Likewise, Rever is a staple for tracking miles. The free version is excellent for discovering established motorcycle routes. Additionally, it offers Butler Maps overlays which highlight the best “Gold” rated paved roads for riders.

5. Google Maps Furthermore, Google Maps remains the best tool for “boots-on-the-ground” logistics. We use it to scout for high-rated diners and fuel stops. Its Street View feature is a lifesaver for checking if a hotel or campsite parking lot is paved and level.

6. Roadtrippers In addition to navigation, Roadtrippers helps you find the “weird and wonderful” side of America. This is particularly useful for a Route 66 trip where you want to see the vintage Americana and roadside giants.

7. Campendium Similarly to The Dyrt, Campendium is fantastic for finding free “boondocking” spots or premium RV parks. Consequently, it’s a great way to save money on the road so you can spend more on fuel and steak.

8. CycleFish If you are looking for biker-friendly locations and industry events, CycleFish is an incredible resource. It lists rallies, bike nights, and bars where your V-twin will be welcomed with open arms.

9. Butler Maps Technology can fail, especially in the desert. Therefore, every rider should carry physical Butler Maps. These waterproof, tear-resistant maps are designed by riders and provide a tactile backup that never loses battery.

10. Calimoto Finally, on our list is Calimoto. For a comprehensive mobile experience, it has become a new favorite. Its free version is incredibly useful for finding twisty backroads with a unique twistyness-level filter. Furthermore, the community features allow you to save and share your recorded rides, making it easy to find inspiration from other V-twin explorers across the country.

Planning for Spring 2026 is already half the fun, and we hope these links help you build the trip of a lifetime. Whether you are riding a Road Glide or an Indian Challenger, we look forward to seeing you out there on the open road!
