Directions App is your digital destination guide for everything you need for a great trip, in one place. New in this version: Receive entire “Trips”: instant, all-in-one guides to events, businesses, places, tourist attractions, etc. from hotels, travel blogs, tour operators, event organizers and businesses. A “Trip” is a digital guide book with added extras like search and instant navigation to each place. You can also create your own beautiful, easy to use directions to your location. Share them with one tap to make it easy for friends, family or customers to find you - no more explaining! Compatible with everything: recipients can open your directions on any device - there is nothing to download. They will have a button to navigate there with one tap, using any navigation app already installed on their phone. Directions App was designed to make finding unfamiliar places easy. No address? No roads? No problem! Navigating a festival, meeting at a tree by the lake, or finding your car in a large parking lot… all easy with Directions. How can you use it? - Receive directions from any of our partners already using Directions App to make your life easier (hotel concierges, events, trade shows, tour guides, tourist attractions, etc.). They can share entire Collections or Trips with you with multiple locations, sightseeing tips, etc. - Save any place you want to go back to, like your parked car, or a store. It only takes one tap to save, and one tap to navigate back to it later. - Ran out of gas or have a flat tire in the middle of nowhere? Make it easy to find you and get help faster. Share your precise location instantly, with no address or explanation required. - You have a business with a hard to find or changing location?

Great for short term rentals, food trucks, realtors, tour guides, tourist attractions, etc.. - You want to let someone know where to meet you or pick you up? Share the exact meeting point with just two taps - they receive a link they can open in their preferred navigation app (or in their Tesla’s built-in navigation) and start navigating to you instantly. - You would like to add instant, universally compatible, one-tap directions to places or entire Trips with multiple places featured on your website (e.g. travel blog, reviews, etc.) with a single link or QR code. - Where was that…? Navigate back to, or create sharable directions to any photo on your phone (requires that the photo has location info saved). - Just been to somewhere nice?
