Great road trips are made of great stops. Detour finds the stops worth pulling over for and plans the drive between them, for a day out or a whole trip.

Detour at a glance.

  • A day Detour built from a start in Bolzano, with Passo Sella and Passo di Valparola as stops, and Try another and Confirm.

    Don't know where to go? Detour builds the day.

    Pick a start and how far you like to drive. Keep, swap or skip any stop.

    See every stop before you get there.

  • iPhone Duo open, with Detour's map of a Dolomites loop and the trip's stops beside it.

Detour Pro

A whole day of stops, built for you.

Say where you start, what you stop for and how far you like to drive. Detour builds the day, or the whole trip, around places worth pulling over for. Keep a stop, swap it or skip it.

What Pro adds
  • Build me a trip, filled in: Bolzano to Cortina d'Ampezzo over two days, 150 km a day, for nature, hiking and views.
    Build me a trip with its dates open: a calendar with Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October picked.

    Tell it what you stop for.

    Views, nature, hiking and more. Add a finish and dates, and Detour fills the drive with stops.

Plan it yourself, or let Detour build the day. Either way it stays your trip. Change any stop and keep the rest of the day.

Plan it yourself

Your whole trip, on one map.

Add the places you already know. Detour routes every leg between them and keeps the whole day in view.

Reorder Drag a stop and the route follows.

Optimize Detour reorders your stops for less driving.

Add A new stop goes where it fits best, with the time it adds.

Plan it your way.

  • A leg's menu: Leg preferences and Search on this leg.

    Your roads. Keep off tolls, motorways, ferries or unpaved roads, for the whole trip or one leg.

  • Two stops on the itinerary, the 35 km, 57 minute leg between them.

    Every leg, measured. The distance and time between stops, kept up to date as you change things.

  • A leg to Tre Cime di Lavaredo with toll roads avoided: the route solid, then dashed for the toll road to the stop, labelled Toll road to this stop.

    Honest routes. When a leg can't avoid a road you'd rather skip, Detour dashes just that stretch and says so.
