Pike is a highway copilot. Open it on the road and it shows you what's coming down the pike - every upcoming exit's gas stations, restaurants, hotels, EV chargers, rest areas, parks, and dog parks, complete with real brand logos. Pike figures out which highway you're on and which direction you're headed, then lines up every exit ahead of you like the blue logo signs on the interstate. Swipe through exits, tap a brand to get details and directions. WHAT YOU GET - Every exit at a glance: Gas, food, lodging, EV charging, rest stops, parks, and dog parks, all with brand logos you'll recognize - Turn direction: Know if it's a left or right off the exit before you commit - Detour estimates: See how far each stop is from the exit and how long the round trip takes - List view: Compare every option across all upcoming exits in one scrollable list - One-tap navigation: Open any stop in Apple Maps or Google Maps NO SETUP REQUIRED Pike works the moment you open it. No pins to drop, no addresses to type, no "add a stop" buried in a nav app. Your co-pilot just opens Pike and starts reading off options. Not on the road right now? Take a test drive from the home screen to see Pike in action. BUILT FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT Pike isn't a turn-by-turn nav app. It's the app your co-pilot opens when someone says "I'm hungry" or "we need gas" or "the dog needs a break" and you want a real answer in two seconds, not a detour through Google Maps search results. Pike covers interstate highways across the continental US.
