VeloSpot – Bike Parking Finder Live

VeloSpot helps cyclists find and navigate to bike parking facilities across Germany, France and Luxembourg – and stays with you for the whole ride: recording, statistics and analysis included. Fully offline, without proprietary services and without any tracking. The app ships with over 100,000 bike parking spots from OpenStreetMap, bundled as a SQLite database directly inside the app. All spots are visible from the very first launch, no network connection required.
