DH NorCal "Home Page", your gateway
to the finest curated collectiion of 334 Destination Highway (DH)
and Twisted Edge (TE) motorcycle roads in Northern California.
Always along for the ride, nestled in one tiny corner of your iPad
(and iPhone), until you need it!
The DH NorCal app looks really good on the iPhone but it looks even
better on the iPad, especially the maps with all that extra real
estate. Many riders will still want a hard copy Companion Map for
the really "big picture" context it provides.
|
The DH NorCal coverage area's 11 Regions (plus the TEs in the Bay
Area and Central Valley that are not affiliated with DHs). |

coverage area. Everything north to Oregon from Santa Cruz over to
Fresno and the Nevada border. |

What exactly is DH NorCal? |
 |
 |
 |
|
Whether you live in NorCal or you've never ridden here before, you
don't have to "ride like a tourist" |
What you need to know about touring in NorCal. |
Some of the many ways you can search for DHs (and their attendant
TEs.) |
 |
 |
 |
This is a "By Region" search for the Russian Coast. Touch a DH or TE
search result for Details/Map(s).
If your device has GPS capability
it will tell you how far you are from the results of a "Find DHs/TEs"
search (You do NOT have to be online or using your data plan.) |
"Show Details" (from the previous shot). |
DH5 looks good, no? With 82.5/100 points it's ranked 5th among all
DHs in NorCal, hence it becomes DH5. Total points is a pretty blunt
number though, you need to zero in on the numbers in the individual
categories that most appeal to you.
And don't worry now about what the numbers mean. Once you ride a few
DHs they'll start to make a whole lot of sense comparatively by the
seat of your pants.
Then you'll be able to use the numbers as an
indicator ("I want as much as possible of this") or a
contra-indicator ("Whoa, that's too much for me") depending on what
and how you ride, or even how many miles you've put on that day, or
even what the weather or your mood is currently.

DH5's "Show Local Map" (from three shots ago) showing you the DH and
the two TEs affiliated with it (any other DHs/TEs or parts thereof
that happen to show on DH5's map, show up in green).
There are 1-3 Local Map(s) to show you each DH and its TEs.
(Notice the Regional Map button for larger scale context.)

Your "Find DH" searches can be "filtered" various ways. This is the
no-filter default. |
User set Filter DHs. (Notice the black numbers on the right have
changed from the previous shot's default settings)
You can also choose to display/not display TEs if you are just
focussing on DHs. |
Find DHs/TEs by Region (Filter DH setting: TEs display ON) |

|
Find DHs/TEs by Region (Filter DH setting: TEs display OFF) |
Dealers are searchable by brand/radius. This is the top of the
all-brand/total NorCal search. If your device has GPS capability it
will tell you how far away the dealers are from your current
location. (You do NOT have to be online or using your data plan.)
|
Dealer details. Touch the phone number to call their service
department and arrange replacement of that rubber you just noticed
has only about 100 mi left on it. |

and to help speed up your use of the app, so you spend more time
riding!
