Britain is full of places that don't show up in a "fastest route". brieflylost takes you to them. Tell the app where you want to go β€” in plain English. "A scenic drive from Brighton to Bath." "Take me to the Lake District through the countryside." "Edinburgh to Glasgow with a pub stop." Behind the scenes, an AI route planner reads your query, picks coastal roads, country lanes, or quiet B-roads, and routes through the cafes, viewpoints, or landmarks you asked for as proper waypoints β€” not just suggestions on the side. Then it's full turn-by-turn navigation. Voice guidance, lane assistance, automatic re-routing if you go off course. Just like the apps you already use, only the route was actually chosen for the drive, not the deadline. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT β€’ Natural-language route planning. No menus, no filters β€” just describe the drive you want. β€’ Genuine scenic routes built from real OpenStreetMap data. Every road class, every gradient, every coastline, weighed and chosen for you. β€’ Plan ahead or set off now. Plan Mode lets you preview a route, share it via deep link, and start it later. Navigate Mode picks up from your current location. β€’ Stops that mean something. Ask for "a cafe stop" or "somewhere with a view" and the app routes through real places, not generic markers. β€’ UK-focused. Built around UK roads, postcodes, and place names β€” Lake District, Cotswolds, Scottish Highlands, Snowdonia, the South Downs. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN FREE β€’ 50 routes per month β€’ Full turn-by-turn navigation β€’ Plan Mode and Navigate Mode β€’ Route sharing via deep link PREMIUM UNLOCK β€’ 1,000 routes per month β€’ Priority routing during high-traffic periods β€’ Future features as we ship them Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.

For drivers, day-trippers, weekend wanderers, and anyone who'd rather take the long way home.
