Don't just get there. Enjoy the way there.
Pithop finds the places worth stopping for along your journey, then plans the drive around them.
Say you are driving from Toronto to Montreal. Most planners give you one line on a map and an arrival time. Pithop gives you the day:
Enter where you are driving from and to, and Pithop maps the route and searches the corridor either side of it for places worth pulling over for: scenic viewpoints, quirky roadside attractions, nature and parks, history, museums, and food. Every place is real, drawn from OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia and Wikivoyage rather than invented, and each one is scored for how well it fits your particular trip.
Tell Pithop what kind of traveller you are — scenic explorer, foodie, hidden gems, history, family, pet friendly, photography, budget, outdoor adventure — and the ranking changes to match. Every suggestion shows what it will actually cost you: the detour there and back, how long people usually stay, and the total extra time, with a plain verdict on whether it is worth it.
Choose your stops and Pithop turns them into a schedule: what time you reach each one, where a day realistically has to end, and somewhere to sleep when it does. Set how much driving you are willing to do in a day and it splits the trip accordingly. Change your departure time, linger longer somewhere, or end a day early, and every later arrival is recalculated.
It also tells you what is going to go wrong before it does — a museum that will have closed by the time you arrive, a day that runs past your driving limit, a trip that needs more days than you have.
Add several stops along the way and Pithop routes through them in one drive. Compare route options, including a toll-free alternative, or avoid motorways entirely. Save a trip and it keeps working offline, so it is still there when the signal is not. When you set off, follow it with live turn-by-turn navigation and voice directions in the browser itself.
Pithop is free, runs in any browser with nothing to download, works on phones, tablets and desktops, and is available in eighteen languages.
