Scooter navigation
Scooter navigation in the Netherlands
Turn-by-turn scooter navigation that knows Dutch law: blue plate on cycle paths or carriageway per zone, yellow plate on the road with G12a where legal and faster.
Plan your scooter routeWhy generic navigation fails for scooters
Scooter navigation is not a small variant of cycling or driving. Snorfiets (blue, 25 km/h) and bromfiets (yellow, 45 km/h) may use different roads — and in Amsterdam and Utrecht that even changes street by street.
Google Maps and Apple Maps have no scooter mode. Bike mode sends snorfiets onto cycle paths where the carriageway is mandatory; car mode sends bromfiets onto trunk roads where they are banned. You need navigation that picks the right network per plate colour.
What Scootmaps does differently
Scootmaps is a free scooter navigation app for all of the Netherlands. Choose snorfiets or bromfiets, enter start and destination, and get a legal route — including rijbaan zones, G11/G12a logic, and IJ ferry crossings in Amsterdam.
No install required: open scootmaps.nl on your phone, allow location, and ride. The route adapts to your plate, not the other way around.
Who is this for?
Daily commuters who do not want a fine on the wrong cycle path. Bromfiets owners looking for an alternative to Bromly or ScooterNav. Amsterdam snorfiets riders who know the carriageway applies inside the A10.
Compare your actual commute in Scootmaps with your current app. The difference is often one illegal segment that looks faster on screen.
