Bike Ride Across Nebraska Partners with Ride with GPS to Debut Premium Navigation Experience for 2025 Riders

The Bike Ride Across Nebraska (BRAN) is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Ride with GPS, the world’s leading cycling route planning and navigation platform. For the first time in the event’s history, BRAN participants will have access to a suite of professional-grade navigation tools designed to enhance their journey across the Cornhusker State.

This collaboration marks a significant upgrade for the BRAN experience. By utilizing a dedicated Event Account, organizers can now provide riders with high-tech, reliable route data that ensures everyone stays on track while enjoying the scenic beauty of Nebraska.

Revolutionizing the BRAN Rider Experience

Through this new partnership, every registered BRAN rider will gain access to premium features on the Ride with GPS mobile app at no additional cost for the duration of the event. Key benefits for participants include:

  • Free Voice Navigation: Riders can enjoy turn-by-turn voice directions, allowing them to keep their eyes on the road and soak in the landscape.
  • Offline Maps: No cell service? No problem. Riders can download offline maps to ensure they never lose their way, even in the most remote sections of the route.
  • Seamless Syncing: Participants can wirelessly sync official BRAN routes directly to their favorite Garmin, Wahoo, or Hammerhead devices with a single click.
  • Real-Time Updates: If last-minute route adjustments are needed due to road conditions, riders will receive up-to-date information automatically via a single, shareable event link.

A New Standard for Event Safety and Support

For the BRAN staff, the Event Account provides “expert in your corner” support and a centralized platform to manage complex route libraries. This ensures that support drivers and event staff are perfectly aligned with the riders’ locations, creating a safer and more organized environment for everyone involved.

“We are incredibly excited to bring Ride with GPS to the Bike Ride Across Nebraska for the first time,” said the BRAN Organizing Committee. “Our goal has always been to provide the best possible experience for our cycling community. By offering these premium navigation tools, we’re giving our riders the confidence to explore Nebraska’s roads with ease and safety.”
