The free GPS built for your license-free car: how it works

Dangerous routes

Waze and Google Maps work at 90 km/h and regularly send you onto motorways or roads banned for license-free cars.

Fine of up to €1,500 in France

Driving on an expressway in a license-free car is an offence in France that carries a fine of up to €1,500.

Completely wrong ETA

The "2h30" shown by Google Maps becomes 4h in reality: the ETA is worked out at 90 km/h while you drive at 45.

✓

Routes filtered for license-free cars

Motorways, expressways and banned ring roads are left out automatically. You only receive roads that are allowed for L6e light quadricycles.

Voice guidance at 45 km/h

The ETA is worked out from a real average speed of 40 km/h. Your arrival estimates are finally reliable.

Where can you drive a license-free car?

A license-free car (L6e light quadricycle) drives on local, secondary and ordinary main roads, as well as in town. It is banned from motorways and expressways. In France, most fast roads at 110 km/h and certain ring roads and bypasses are banned too, governed by a local prefectural order shown on a sign. The basic rule: if the road requires you to keep at least 80 km/h, a license-free car has no place there.

Which license-free cars does it work on?

TacTac is compatible with every L6e category license-free car (light quadricycle) limited to 45 km/h: Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino, Aixam, Ligier, Microcar, Mobilize Duo and all other brands.

Available on iPhone and Android?

TacTac is available on iPhone, for free, on the App Store. The Android version is in the works: join the waiting list and we will tell you when it lands.

Is the license-free car GPS free?

TacTac is free: 6 trips per month with no subscription and no ads. Premium features (unlimited navigation, full voice guidance) are available with a subscription.

Does it work without a connection?

Yes. TacTac lets you download maps for offline use. Ideal for rural areas or to save your data plan.

Can you use Google Maps in a license-free car?

Google Maps has no license-free car mode. It plans journeys at 90 km/h and may send you onto dual carriageways banned for L6e light quadricycles. TacTac is the only GPS that filters those roads and shows a realistic travel time at 45 km/h.

How is it different from Waze?

Waze works out routes at 90 km/h and can send you onto motorways or expressways banned for license-free cars. TacTac automatically filters out these roads, works out a realistic ETA at 45 km/h and offers voice guidance tailored to license-free car drivers.
