It knows, right now.

Not after the drive — while the road is under your wheels. The driver screen tells you whether this is new ground or old, alongside your speed, the posted limit, gradient, elevation and GPS health — all readable at arm's length in daylight.

That moment — realising the turnoff ahead is unexplored — is why Roadtrip owners take the long way round.

Driven roads turn green — matched to the actual road, not your GPS scribble.

Drive. That's the whole tutorial.

1

Trips record themselves

Start driving and the trip starts; stop for the day and it ends. The phone stays in your pocket — no buttons, no babysitting.

2

Matched to real roads

Your track is snapped to the actual road network — down to which stretch of which farm road — so coverage means roads, not GPS noise.

3

Watch the map fill in

Driven roads turn green forever. The blank spaces start to itch — and suddenly you're taking the long way home on purpose.

Built for the middle of nowhere

Offline everything

Maps, satellite imagery, road names and speed limits are cached on the device. The app keeps working across the Karoo, hours past the last signal bar.

Gravel-road roughness

Every trip measures road surface from the phone's sensors and folds it into a shared map — know before you go which gravel is smooth cruising and which rattles your fillings.

Your roads, your data

No walled garden: every trip exports as GPX, KML or GeoJSON today, and full API access to your own data is on the way. What you drive is yours to take anywhere.

Photos that land where you took them

Photos and videos drop onto your trip map where they happened. Mark a spot with a tap, a note or a voice memo while driving; stops are detected automatically.

Next town, always

The town you're heading for, how far, when you'll arrive, and whether it has fuel — computed entirely on-device, signal or not.

Share the good ones

Any trip becomes a public page — route, elevation profile, photos and stats — with one tap. Your exploration history stays private.

In development, driven daily.

Roadtrip is being built and road-tested in South Africa — real distances, real gravel, real dead zones. Android first, iOS on the way, not yet in the app stores. If you want to drive with it early, say hello.
