Driving somewhere with other people is the one thing navigation apps never solved. Finding the destination was never the hard part. Staying together is. Somebody misses an exit, somebody stops for fuel, somebody leaves twenty minutes late, and it turns into a group chat nobody can safely read at 70 mph. One Road, Not Four Give four people the same destination and four navigation apps will send them down three different highways. LetsDrive routes everyone onto one shared corridor. When Someone Drifts, It Does Something Most apps show you a dot and leave the rest to you. LetsDrive hands you turn by turn directions that rejoin the group at a point it has not passed yet. You merge in instead of chasing. The Whole Group, At A Glance Every car on one map, in its own color, with the real gaps along the bottom. Katy 200 feet ahead. Sam 0.7 miles behind. A Live Activity keeps the convoy on your lock screen. Arrive Together Say when you want to be there and each person gets a departure time from their own front door. Eight houses, eight departure times, one arrival. Propose a fuel stop mid drive and it reaches everyone at once, somewhere the whole group can get to without turning around. Built For CarPlay Not a phone app squeezed onto a car screen. The convoy, the nearest car gap, native turn cards, search, saved places and voice destination entry, all on the head unit. Also In The Box Atlas route drawing, Trip Replay, a web planner, invites by contact, link, trip code or QR, multi stop routes, saved places, a route library, vehicles, and Year in Drives. LetsDrive Pro Free covers real use: convoy routing, the live map, CarPlay, Trip Replay, Atlas, Year in Drives, and drives of up to four cars. Pro is for the organizer: eight cars, twenty groups, unlimited scheduled trips, seven stops plus your destination, 500 friends, a 200 route library, and custom trip avatars. Location sharing is per trip. It starts when the drive starts and stops when it ends. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.letsdriveapp.com/terms/
