How can we help?

Answers to the questions travelers ask most. If yours is not here, write to us.

Planning a trip

How do I add a stop?

Search for a place, or tap one on the map, and add it from its card. Detour puts it where it fits best on the route. Touch and hold the add button to choose the spot yourself.

Can I change the order of my stops?

Open the trip menu and choose Reorder stops to drag them into a new order, or Optimize route to let Detour find an order with less driving. The route follows when you save.

How do I see more about a place?

Tap any stop to open its card: photos, the weather for the coming days with your trip's days marked when the forecast reaches them, and, with Detour Pro, a written description of the place.

Routes and roads

How do I avoid tolls or motorways?

Open the trip menu and choose Route preferences. You can keep off toll roads, motorways, ferries or unpaved roads for the whole trip.

Can one leg use different settings?

Yes. Tap the drive time between two stops and choose Leg preferences to change that leg only.

Why is part of a leg dashed?

Sometimes a road you asked to avoid is the only way through. Detour still routes the leg and dashes the part that could not avoid it, so you know where it is.

Detour Pro

What does Detour Pro add?

Build me a trip: say where you start and how far you like to drive, and Detour builds the whole day, with Try another, Swap and Skip. Pro also adds Highlights along the route, up to ten places worth a detour near each stop, a written description and tips for every place, and no limit on active trips.

How do I cancel?

Subscriptions are handled by Apple. Open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Detour.

I have Pro on another iPhone. How do I get it here?

Sign in to the App Store with the same Apple Account, then tap Restore purchases on the Detour Pro screen.

Sharing and navigation

How do I share a trip?

Open the trip menu, choose Share trip, then Start sharing. Anyone with the link can follow the trip as you change it, or make their own copy. Stop sharing turns the link off for everyone.

Does a shared link show my home?

Not unless you choose it. If the trip starts or ends somewhere that is not a named place, the link shows it only at town level. You can set Start and finish to Exact in the Share trip menu.

Can I use my trip on a GPS device?

Yes. Open the trip menu and choose Export GPX (a trip needs at least two stops), then send the file to any device or app that reads GPX.

Your account and data

Do I need an account?

No. Detour backs up your trips on its own whenever you are online, with nothing to sign up for. To get them back on a new iPhone, Sign in with Apple in Settings, under Account & backup.

How do I delete my data?

In Detour, open Settings, then Account & backup, then Delete account. This deletes your account, every trip on your phone and your backup on our servers.

Where can I read the details?

Our Privacy Policy explains what Detour stores, where and for how long, and our Terms of Use cover the service and Detour Pro.

Still stuck?

Write to us and a person reads it. Tell us which iPhone you use and what you tried.
