About
RECON: ˈrē-(,) kän; noun - exploratory survye; to discover during expedition. Derived from Latin: ad exploranda.
MOTO-RECON creates Adventure Motorcycle & Overland charts which aid in navigation, support activity-based decision-making, and build relationships within communities.
Our vision is to create a maps which encourages you to take the first steps in adventure.
Our expectation is that our maps provide users with an outdoor experience which deepens personal awareness [1], value of self, improved connectedness to nature and community; and provide the opportunity to explore the amazing commodities within the United States; all while enhancing cognitive thinking [2].
Our goals are to instill relief and rest from invasive technology (the surrounding glowing boxes) which deceitfully create 'life-experiences'. Recent studies claim that too much “screen-time” impairs cognitive thinking, increases weight, damages vision, and decreases mortality. MOTO-RECON wants users to discover themselves through organic experiences and challenges, and involve themselves in unique communities.
