Does Velo 2 work in my country?
Beeline is built to work worldwide, wherever there is GPS coverage, but there are a few exceptions - including China for compass mode. More information can be found on Beeline's website.
What are the Velo 2 modes?
Your Beeline has four RockerTop™ buttons in the N, S, E and W positions of your Velo 2 device.
Hold the bottom button for 3 seconds to turn on your Velo 2.
Once you've paired up with your device and have a ride setup, you can tap the top and bottom touch buttons to scroll through the device screens.
Phone compatibility:
iPhone: Requires iOS 15.0 or later
Android: Google Play running 8.0 Oreo and above
Bluetooth capability 4.0 required
Android Battery Saver and Background Activity

Route planning & mapping:
When you plan a Beeline route, your route will be plotted from your current location to the destination that you set. You can change the start location at any point by tapping on it.
Enter your destination by either tapping the location on the map or using the search function in the ‘Where to?’ at the bottom of the screen.
If it is a simple A to B type of day, that is it! From here you can choose to ride the route given, or blaze your own path with light guidance by choosing the compass option.
For the longer days, you can also add stops along the way if there are any specific places that you would like to pass through on your ride. These are called waypoints.
