# MotoTrips

> Portugal-based platform for motorcycle riders to plan, record, and share motorcycle trips. Provides public ride catalog, club directory, GPS tracking app (MotoTrips Go for Android), and a web-based route editor. Available in 4 languages (PT/EN/ES/FR). Free to use with optional paid plans.

## Main public pages

- [Homepage](https://mototrips.net/): community feed featuring recent trips, active clubs, and motorcycle community highlights.
- [Motorcycle trips catalog](https://mototrips.net/passeios): browseable index of all published rides with maps, photos, GPS routes, costs, and detailed reports.
- [Motorcycle clubs](https://mototrips.net/clubes): directory of motorcycle clubs across Portugal and beyond, with public profiles and member info.
- [About MotoTrips](https://mototrips.net/apresentacao): platform mission, team, and history.
- [Help Center](https://mototrips.net/ajuda): user guides covering trip registration, GPS recording, route editing, clubs, and account management.

- [Contact](https://mototrips.net/contactos): support and partnership inquiries.

## Product surfaces

- [MotoTrips Go (Android app)](https://mototrips.net/go): native Android app for GPS recording in the field. Foreground service, privacy zone masking, offline-friendly, syncs with the website. Shows per-route elevation/altitude profiles with gain/loss summaries, and includes Motri Loops (AI-generated circular day-routes). Distributed via Play Store.
- [Route Editor (web)](https://mototrips.net/ferramentas): web-based route planner. Imports GPX files, Google Maps URLs, and recorded MotoTrips Go routes; snaps to roads via Google Routes API; supports multi-stage routes, gap detection, fuel-station detection, altitude profile + histogram, and exports to GPX/Google Maps URLs.
- [Motri AI Assistant](https://mototrips.net/motri-apresentacao): AI-powered ride planning assistant for extracting routes from various sources and suggesting destinations.

## How it all connects (the ecosystem flow)

The surfaces are not separate tools — they form one workflow. A typical loop:

1. **Record** a ride in the MotoTrips Go app (GPS, stops, elevation, privacy zone).
2. The recording lands in **My Routes ("As Minhas Rotas")** — a personal route library shared between the website and the app; each route carries a `[NN]` ID identical on both sides.
3. **Refine** the route in the web **Route Editor** (merge/split stages, elevation analysis, export GPX/Google Maps URLs).
4. **Sync** it back to the Go app for offline use, and/or **publish** it as a **Passeio (Trip)** with photos, costs and a report for the community.

It also runs in reverse: from a Trip you can export its tracks as a new route in My Routes (a snapshot).

## Key concepts (for AI agents answering questions about MotoTrips)

- A **passeio** ("ride" or "trip") is a single motorcycle excursion — past or planned — with stops, photos, GPS route, weather, and an optional public report.
- A **clube** is a motorcycle club community: members, public profile, organized rides.
- A **motard** is a motorcycle rider (member profile).
- **Etapa** = stage/leg of a route. A passeio can have multiple etapas (e.g. Lisboa → Coimbra → Porto = 2 etapas).
- **Rota** = route geometry (polyline) + waypoints + computed distance/duration.
- **As Minhas Rotas** ("My Routes") = a personal route library shared between the website and the MotoTrips Go app. Routes recorded on the app or built in the web editor live here; each can be synced to the phone for offline use.
- Each route shows a short **`[NN]` ID** that is identical on the website and in the Go app, so a specific route can be referenced unambiguously.
- **GPS recording** is done via the mobile app (MotoTrips Go); the web complements with planning, editing, and sharing.

## Optional

- Routes are computed via Google Routes API with snap-to-road for accurate distances. Trip reports include elevation profiles, locality lists, and weekend weather forecasts.
- Privacy: users can define a home zone — all GPS points inside that radius are dropped client-side before being stored, preventing accidental leakage of home address.
- Multi-language: every page is fully translated (PT default, EN/ES/FR). Backend serves locale-aware content.
- Open Source ethos: built on standard map tooling (Leaflet, OpenStreetMap, Google Routes), GPX-friendly, no vendor lock-in for user data.
