Hand-picked apps and online resources every Hong Kong rider should bookmark — weather, parking, traffic and payments, all in one place.
Motorcycle parking is tight in HK. Pre-marking spots near your destination saves time. HK Parking covers commercial car parks; QCPhotoP’s Google My Maps layer covers government meter bays and free spots; and an Amap (Gaode) version of the same dataset is available for Mainland riders who use Amap natively.
HK Parking Limited
The most comprehensive parking info app in Hong Kong. Covers private car parks, meter bays and government car parks. Live availability, rates, and turn-by-turn nav to the nearest spot.
Built by HK local rider QCPhotoP · Google My Maps
A community-curated Google My Maps layer built by local HK rider QCPhotoP. Marks free and paid motorcycle parking across the city — most comprehensive coverage in Kowloon and Central HK Island. Plan your parking in advance before you ride.
Built by HK local rider QCPhotoP · Amap / 高德地圖
Same parking dataset by QCPhotoP, but on Amap (Gaode Maps) — perfect for riders from Mainland China who already use Amap natively. No need to install Google Maps; Amap also supports offline maps for cross-border riding.
Hong Kong's weather is volatile — summer thunderstorms arrive fast. Always check the Observatory forecast before riding and refresh during the trip to avoid getting caught in heavy rain.
Hong Kong Observatory · 香港天文台
The official Hong Kong Observatory app. Real-time weather, 9-day forecast, thunderstorm and rainstorm warnings. Essential pre-ride check to avoid getting caught in sudden downpours.
Octopus and Google Maps will cover almost any situation — petrol, tunnels, food stops. Download offline maps before riding into rural areas.
Go-to navigation for riders. Motorcycle mode (where available) takes shortcuts; Google Reviews help pick scenic photo spots.
HKMA · Octopus
