Ura: Snowmobile Routes

Ura shows every official snowmobile route in Finland and tells you, live, whether you are on one.

Ura is an independent app. It does not represent any government entity and is not affiliated with or endorsed by one. The sources of its data are linked below.

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Every route and place is stored inside the app, so the on-route check never needs a connection. The base map is kept as you look at it, so open the area you are heading into while you still have signal.

BUILT FOR A RIDE One map screen, large targets, and a status you can read at a glance with gloves on. Light and dark, because the ride does not stop at dusk.

DATA SOURCES Routes, shelters, huts and fire sites: LIPAS, the national register of sports facilities run by the University of Jyväskylä, which holds the official snowmobile routes and municipal tracks for all of Finland. https://lipas.fi Base map: National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos). https://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en Fuel and food: OpenStreetMap contributors. https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright Permits: Metsähallitus. https://www.eraluvat.fi/en

PLACES ALONG THE WAY Fuel, food, shelters, huts and fire sites near the network, so a stop is a glance rather than a search.

PERMITS Metsähallitus pefrom eraluvat.fi. Ura tells you what the data says; the permit is yours to hold.

NOTHING COLLECTED No account and no sign-up. Your position is read on your phone to work out whether you are on a route, and never leaves it. No analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting.

ENGLISH, FINNISH AND GERMAN The app follows your phone's language, and you can change it in Settings.

DISCLAIMER Ura is a navigat not a safetydevice. It does not represent the University of Jyväskylä, the National Land Survey of Finland, Metsähallitus or any other government entity. Route data is compiled from the public sources above and may be incomplete or out of date. Check permits, closures, ice and weather before and during every ride, and carry on.
