Running errands can be very inefficient, but OnTheWay optimizes your route so you can make all of your stops as efficiently as possible. Need to go to the grocery store, but want to stop at the bank and to grab a coffee? Our app will help you optimize your route by finding a convenient combination of stops you need to make. Hit all of your errands "On The Way" to each other, saving time and energy. Help yourself and the planet at the same time! Whether you want to hit a specific grocery chain (like Albertsons) or just the nearest grocery store, OnTheWay will help you find the convenient option, then add it to your route. No more cruising up and down the street searching for a coffee shop or driving around endlessly looking for a hardware store. Sometimes you want to hit a few big chain stores, like a Target, a CVS, and a Best Buy, all on the same trip. Website "store finders" are of no help when you want to find a direct way to hit more than one chain. OnTheWay solves that problem.

Sirca is here to help you navigate a changing world. Whether you drive, walk, or bike, Sirca’s turn-by-turn navigation will take you to your destination with ease. Once you get going, it's simple to make a stop along the way! Once you have a final destination selected, Sirca allows you to search for destinations along your route. Sirca’s simple search design and clean, clutter-free map makes navigation a breeze. Search in either MAP VIEW or LIST VIEW or even toggle between both. Choose between 5 ways of searching: Tap a pre-existing category ICON (Gas, Food, Coffee, Grocery, or our changing Wildcard); Enter location by NAME, by ADDRESS, or by KEYWORD (hamburger, movie theater); or drop a PIN on the map to indicate a desired spot! Let Sirca do the work for you, so you can get where you’re going with what you need faster. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
