Traffic Ping helps you check traffic to your important places before you drive. Save the places you care about - home, work, school, the gym, or any regular destination - and Traffic Ping can quickly check the current route from your location. With Siri Shortcuts and App Intents, Traffic Ping is designed for hands-free use. Ask for an update, and the app checks your saved destinations, estimates travel times, and speaks the result in your interface language. It is especially useful when starting a drive, connecting to CarPlay, or deciding which destination makes sense right now. What Traffic Ping does: • Save multiple named destinations on the map • Check routes from your current location • Get traffic-aware drive times • Use with Siri Shortcuts and automations • Designed for simple, hands-free driving routines Traffic Ping is not another full navigation app. It is a quick route-checking assistant for the places you already know. Before you go, ping your routes.

Road Sorties plans road trips around the roads worth driving, not just the fastest line on a freeway. SEE THE SCENIC STRETCHES Officially scenic roads are highlighted on your route, so you know exactly where to slow down and take it in. Tap a stretch to see the road's name and, where we have one, a link to its guide. FIND THE CURVY WAY Turn on Prefer Curvy and watch your route shift from interstates to the roads people drive for the fun of it. MIX PREFERENCES BY THE LEG Plan a trip with multiple stops and set each leg its own way: fastest to the trailhead, curvy on the way home. STOPS AND STAYS ALONG THE WAY Find EV charging, fuel, campgrounds and places to stay along your route, and add them as you plan. ON YOUR PHONE AND ON YOUR DASH Turn-by-turn voice navigation on your phone and in CarPlay. KEEP NAVIGATING WHEN YOU LOSE SIGNAL Save a route before you leave and turn-by-turn guidance, rerouting and voice keep working with no connection at all. This is the routing data, not map imagery, so areas you haven't already viewed will be blank while the map catches up. RV ROUTING Tell Road Sorties your rig's height, width, length and weight, and every route is built around it, avoiding low clearances, weight-limited bridges and tunnels that ban propane. The route report tells you what it steered around, and why. SHAREABLE ROUTES Build a route, share a link. Friends open it and load the exact same waypoints. No account required. PRIVACY FIRST No user accounts. No ad networks. No tracking across apps. To build your route, its stops are sent to our routing server, used to compute the route and then discarded, never tied to you. A route you choose to share is saved so anyone with the link can open it, without signing up.
