Nearby
After logging in, the first thing you see is our Nearby section that allows to you quickly create a trip or look for places near you. It even knows the current time of day, weather, and your current location and will suggest categories for you to discover!
For example, if it's the morning it might suggest places to get breakfast or some coffee, even places to take a walk! If you tap one of the suggested categories, you'll be asked to choose if you want to look for these places around you or along a route.
- Selecting "around me" will find you places nearby.
- Selecting "along a route" will open up a new trip with your current location as the starting point.
Below that, you can tap Start New Trip or keep scrolling down to see some of our Trips Guides for road trips near you.
