... / 500 early access spots CarPlay-native · Beta 2026

Your rig.
Your route.
On your dash.

The first CarPlay-native GPS for European motorhome travelers. Set your height, weight and length once. Rovee routes around every bridge, tunnel and weight restriction — and shows tonight's campsite — without ever leaving the dashboard.

Join 500+ RVers.

What's broken today

Three apps open.
Eyes off the road.

Every experienced motorhome driver does the same thing: open TomTom for routing, switch to CaraMaps for tonight's aire, check a third app for bridge clearances. Nobody's fixed this — until now.

CaraMaps has no CarPlay

100,000+ EU aires and campsites but zero dashboard integration. You're reading from your phone while driving through a mountain pass.

TomTom routes, but doesn't know your campsite

TomTom GO works on CarPlay but has no campsite database, no EU aires, no boondocking spots. Navigation ends at the car park, not the pitch.

RV Life raised prices 86% — for a broken CarPlay

Now $65/year. Still requires 7–8 connection attempts just to show a map on the dash. Users are actively cancelling.

Google Maps doesn't know your height

No bridge clearance data. No weight limits. Motorhome users document near-misses every week on r/GoRVing and r/VanLifeUK.

Three apps open simultaneously — the multi-app problem
"It takes us 7–8 attempts to get a semi-usable map on our CarPlay screen. The routes add 1–2 hours to our trip. I've been loyal for 3 years. I'd pay for anything that actually works natively on CarPlay."

About Rovee

Built by travelers, for travelers

We're a team of three based in Portugal 🇵🇹 who started Rovee as a side project to solve our own problem.

Part of our team surfs across Europe and travels by RV between surf spots. We got tired of navigation apps routing us through mountain passes with a 3.5-ton camper, or sending us down roads barely wider than the van.

So we built what we actually needed: CarPlay-native navigation that understands RV dimensions, weight limits, and the realities of European road travel. No VC funding, no big corporation—just three people who love the open road and believe navigation should work for the vehicle you're actually driving.

How we build

Built with RVers

Every feature starts with community feedback. You're not just a user — you're a co-creator.

Privacy First

Your route data never leaves your device. No tracking, no selling data, no ads. Ever.

Quality Over Speed

Rovee is meticulously crafted by one developer. No rushed features, no broken releases.

Indie & Sustainable

No VC pressure, no growth-at-all-costs. Just fair pricing that keeps the lights on.

The journey so far

2024

The problem

After getting routed through one too many tight mountain passes in a 3.5-ton camper, we realized nothing on the market actually worked with CarPlay for RVs.

Early 2025

First prototype

Three friends started hacking together a routing prototype using HERE Maps. Tested it on surf trips across Portugal and Spain.

Mid 2025

CarPlay integration

Finally cracked the CarPlay UI after months of iterating. Realized dashboards need completely different interaction design than phone screens.

2026

Beta launch

Opening to 500 founding members. The community shapes what Rovee becomes—because we're building this for RVers like us.

Built for the dash

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Designed from the ground up for CarPlay — large touch targets, voice-first interactions, critical information visible at a glance. Not a phone app scaled up.

Hazard Heads-Up

Bridge and tunnel clearance alerts 800m before the restriction — showing the gap between your rig and the clearance.

Next Stop widget

Nearest campsite, aire or dump station on your current route. One tap navigates. No app-switching.

Full offline maps

Download EU countries before departure. Voice guidance and rerouting work without any signal.

Toll cost preview Q3 2026

Features

Every decision starts with the driver.

Built by RVers who were tired of workarounds. Every feature solves a real pain point we experienced on the road.

100,000+ campsites, aires, and motorhome stops across Europe. Filter by facilities, price, and availability. Find tonight's spot from the dashboard.

Q3 2026

Full offline maps

Download Portugal, Spain and France before you leave. Voice guidance, rerouting and campsite search work without signal. Perfect for remote mountain passes.

Hazard Heads-Up

Toll price preview

See total toll costs through France, Spain, and Italy before confirming your route. Compare scenic vs. motorway options by price and time.

Q3 2026

Multiple rig profiles

"Sat nav apps that work with Apple CarPlay for campervans — this thread has been open for years because the answer is: nothing good exists. CaraMaps: no CarPlay. TomTom: no campsites. You always need two."

"We run RV Life + Google Maps + Waze simultaneously. It's insane but that's what works. Whatever routes us safely AND shows the campsite AND works on CarPlay — I'll pay for it."
