roadbook-system
is a collection of tools (Roadbook Editor, RB Reader, RB Ranking and Secure System 4×4) designed for off-road use and to promote non-competitive 4x4 events and rallies, where the co-driver is just as important as the driver.
It was born partly from a dream — Thierry Sabine’s Dakar — and partly from nostalgia for the 24 Ore del Frignano and other events organized with passion by clubs.
While designing it, I looked for solutions that allow unconventional navigation modes and, thanks to dedicated controls, help ensure participant safety, respect for rules and limits, while also promoting a sporting spirit
The programs are designed with simple logic and a clear workflow. To make good use of them, it is best to start from the quick guide and the main shortcuts.
I call this philosophy LSU (Logical, Simple, Useful), and these principles guide every function I add — or would like to add.
No endless menus, no unnecessary complexity: just logic, simplicity and functionality.
