With “Start riding” on a bike or “Start walking” on a hike, the voice tells you when to turn, when you leave the track and what is coming up: you follow the route without watching the screen all the time.
On a bike, taking your eyes off the road to read a screen is a risk; on foot, it is a nuisance. Every instruction is spoken out loud and also shown on screen: a glance is enough, when you decide.

Every turn announced in advance
The voice warns you from a distance, reminds you as you approach, then confirms at the turn; announcement distances adapt to your speed. Essential or full level, voice, volume: you set what you hear.

Off the track, you know at once
A confirmed deviation is announced, as is the return to the track; a prolonged retreat triggers a U-turn request, and the way back to the route is drawn on the map. The off-route threshold is set from 15 to 100 metres.

Places announced, a voice at your command
Remarkable places are announced as you approach. Ask out loud for the next turn, the next place or the time remaining; on a club outing, the cues written by ride leaders are read at their position.

The riding screen: next instruction, distance and voice
It depends on the browser and the system: voice, sleep mode and Bluetooth earphones are not certified on every device. Vistavel asks the screen to stay on during guidance; keep road signs and waymarks as your reference.
Do I have to allow location access?
Yes, over a secure connection: the position is used for guidance. Without permission, a simulation of the trip remains possible. Voice commands also need microphone access and depend on the browser.
