Scooter navigation
Scooter navigation app for the Netherlands
The scooter navigation app that treats snorfiets and bromfiets as separate vehicles, with Dutch zone and sign rules built in, not as a filter on top of bike mode.
What to look for in a scooter navigation app
A real scooter navigation app picks a different road network per plate. Snorfiets follows cycle infrastructure (with carriageway where law requires). Bromfiets follows the road and may only use designated bromfietspaden (G12a).
Check whether the app applies Amsterdam and Utrecht rijbaan zones automatically, excludes trunk roads for bromfiets, and blocks G11 cycle paths for yellow plate. Without those three, the app fails on real commutes.
Scootmaps vs other apps
Bromly and ScooterNav are strong NL players for bromfiets. Scootmaps supports both plates in one app (iPhone + web), including snorfiets rijbaan in Amsterdam and Utrecht, NDW traffic signs, and IJ ferry routing.
No subscription for route planning. Test the same route next to your current app before you switch.
