Beeline refreshes its simple navigation device with new functions
Beeline, a technology company from London, is presenting a comprehensive further development of its bicycle navigation system in May 2025. The update affects both the Velo 2 navigation device and the Beeline app. The new features focus on improved user guidance and the expansion of practical functions for everyday use and on tour.
A central element of the update is the integration with the komoot platform. This allows planned routes to be synchronized directly from komoot into the Beeline app and onto the Velo 2. This gives users access to a large collection of curated routes and community recommendations and allows them to benefit from consistent navigation with optimized route guidance.
An extended elevation profile is also new. It shows the upcoming climbs of a route on the Velo 2 display, color-coded by gradient, supplemented by the current position and the remaining distance. This enables a better assessment of the physical demands along the route and helps with targeted power distribution.
Navigation via GPX files has also been improved. These can now be imported and displayed with greater accuracy, even for complex or remote routes. For the first time, it is also possible to start and record a tour directly via the Velo 2 - a function that, according to Beeline, was often requested by the community.
Another update concerns voice navigation. It is now also available in the free version of the Beeline app. This gives the app precise turn-by-turn directions via audio so that cyclists can follow the route without taking their eyes off the road. German-language voice navigation will follow shortly.
In order to improve robustness, the Velo 2 will be supplied with a black silicone cover as standard. Beeline also offers a so-called Protection Pack, which consists of a silicone cover in black, blue or green and an additional display protector. These accessories are designed to better protect the device from the elements and impacts.
The update is available immediately in the App Store and Google Play Store.
Beeline was founded in 2015 and specializes in GPS navigation for cyclists. With a focus on simplicity and practicality, the company is primarily aimed at leisure and touring cyclists as well as all those who want to plan their journeys safely and independently.
