Turn-by-turn navigation
Ruto packs the roads around your whole route onto your phone before you leave. When the network disappears in a tunnel, on a back road or in a dead zone, the directions keep going — and Ruto finds you a new route from the phone itself.
How it works
Every navigation app can draw a map without a signal. Very few keep giving you directions, and almost none will find you a new route once you have left the old one. Ruto does all three — and it says so at the three moments that matter.
Ruto works out the corridor around your entire route and saves it to the device, then tells you exactly what it saved — instead of showing you a spinner and hoping.
Roads for all 37 mi saved on this phone.The moment the network goes, four words appear where you would otherwise be wondering whether the app has frozen. Miss a turn and it reroutes from the phone.
No signal. Still navigating.At the end of the drive you see what actually happened — including the part you never noticed, because nothing went wrong.

A calm, glanceable screen designed for a windscreen at night — not for a screenshot in an app store.
The same guidance on the dashboard, with the map, the route and the puck drawn natively in the car.
Bring a route from Kurviger, Rever or a Garmin and drive it with real turn-by-turn. Export any Ruto route the same way.
Ask for the interesting way round on a bike, or routes that suit your height and weight in an RV. A preference, never a promise — read the sign.
Police, cameras, crashes and closures reported by people on the same road, spoken before you reach them.
A private link showing where you are and when you'll arrive. It stops working the moment the trip ends.
Type three words and drive to a three-metre square — for the places that have no address at all.
Brand names, road numbers and half-remembered street names resolve to the one near you — not to one four states away.
No sign-up, no email address, no tracking SDKs, nothing sold. Your trip history never leaves the phone.
Ruto is coming to the App Store for iPhone and CarPlay. Questions before then go straight to the person who builds it.
