Terms of Use
Version of 2026-09-18. Publisher: Copdrive — contact@vistavel.com.
1. The service
Vistavel builds bike rides. You give a starting point, a distance, your type of bike and what you are looking for: viewpoints, water, heritage, nature, villages. The site then offers several different routes. It shows the scenery in photos, flies over the route in 3D, gives the weather forecast, guides you by voice during the ride, exports the track as a GPX file, organises group rides and works offline. The basic service is free and needs no account. Calculations run on our servers. When the server is busy, requests wait in a queue.
2. The account
An account needs an e-mail address and a password of at least 8 characters. You are responsible for this password. We do not keep it: we only store a salted hash (PBKDF2-SHA256). Creating an account means accepting these terms; the date and the version accepted are recorded.
3. Plans and payment
All amounts include tax. Free, with no account: building routes, the photos, the map, the GPX export, 3 saved routes and group rides of up to 8 people. Cyclo, €2 per month: the 3D flyover in high-resolution satellite imagery, your saved routes with no practical limit (60 in total) and multi-day trips. Cyclo yearly, €15 per year: the same Cyclo plan, paid for one year. Club, €6 per month: everything in Cyclo, plus group rides of up to 30 cyclists. Pro: on quotation, outside online payment; the request goes through the contact form.
Payment is by bank card through Stripe. We never see or store your card number. The monthly Cyclo plan and the Club plan renew every month; the yearly Cyclo plan renews every year. You can cancel at any time with the "Manage subscription" button (Stripe portal): the plan stays active until the end of the period already paid, then stops. The current period is not refunded.
A paid plan starts as soon as you pay. By asking for this immediate start, you waive the 14-day withdrawal period for the current period.
4. Your data
We store: your e-mail, the password hash, the date you accepted the terms, your language, the state of your subscription, the Stripe identifiers of your customer and subscription, and the routes you choose to save (starting point, distance, type of bike, preferences, track). During a group ride, the name you choose and your position are shared with the other participants of that ride, for the time of the ride. Stripe processes the payment under its own terms.
The places you enter are used only to build the requested route. They are neither logged with your account nor sold. We sell no data.
You can ask for a copy or the deletion of your account at contact@vistavel.com. Deletion cancels the subscription.
5. Sources and ownership
The routes and places come from OpenStreetMap, queried through Overpass. The photos and the descriptions of places come from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. The weather comes from Open-Meteo. Bike routing is computed with Valhalla and BRouter. The base maps come from MapTiler, OpenTopoMap, CyclOSM and Esri. The terrain comes from Open-Elevation. These sources keep their own licences and their own terms; their credits are shown on the map.
The site, its texts, its code and its layout remain our property. The tracks you export as GPX are yours: you may do what you want with them.
6. Liability
Routes are indicative. They may use roads open to traffic, or paths that are damaged, closed or impassable depending on the season. You remain responsible for obeying traffic law, for the condition of your bike and your equipment, and for judging the real conditions on site: traffic, surface, weather, the level of the riders. Turn back or change your path if conditions require it. We guarantee neither the accuracy of the map data, nor the availability of the service, nor a calculation time. Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the current period.
7. Changes
We may change these terms. The version in force is the one published on this page; its date is shown at the top. An important change is announced when you sign in.
8. Applicable law
These terms are governed by French law. In case of disagreement, write to us first at contact@vistavel.com; failing an agreement, French courts have jurisdiction.
