How it works

A few minutes in, a real plan back. Then it comes with you.

You give it the shape of a trip. It gives you the whole thing, night by night, and stays useful once you're driving it.

Before you go

Say where and how long. Nothing else to fill in.

Where you're starting, what you'd like to take in, when, and how many nights. A region is fine; it doesn't need an address. Your van, your pace and how you like to spend the days are set once and remembered, so the second trip is quicker than the first.

One screen, on iPhone or on the web

Already booked a site or a ferry? Add it and the plan works around it

Usually ready in under a minute

The New trip screen on iPhone: From Glasgow, taking in Glencoe and Applecross, leaving 22 August for 7 nights, with the usual van, pace and budget set below.

On the road

Today, in the order you'll actually drive it.

Once you've set off, the trip screen leads with today: how far the drive is, what's worth stopping for on the way, one tap to open the day or navigate from where you are.

Tonight's overnight and its price, on the same card

The rest of the trip below it, night by night

Every overnight plotted end to end on the map

A trip underway on iPhone: Skye and Torridon Highlands, day 4 of 8, marked available offline, with a dark Today card showing today’s drive of 40 miles, tonight at Sligachan Campsite for £25, and Open today and Navigate buttons.

When it changes

Stayed somewhere else? The plan keeps up.

Say so on the day and the change sits over the plan rather than replacing it: tonight's overnight, an extra night, skipping the stops, moving the dates. The planned version stays visible underneath. One tap puts it back. When you're properly off plan, re-plan from here: today and everything before it stays exactly as it was, tomorrow onwards is drawn again from where the van actually is.

Change tonight, add a night, skip today's stops, move the dates

Re-plan the rest of the trip from where you've ended up

A night you've booked stays booked

A changed day on iPhone: tonight’s overnight replaced with a pull-in past the old bridge, the planned campsite shown underneath and a Put it back button.

Advisories

A line when the area says so.

Days passing through an area under a flood warning or high fire danger carry a line saying so, relayed from public sources about once a day. It's information, not a safety net, and it doesn't see everything.

Advisory · Fire

Very high fire risk in this area

EFFIS puts today's fire danger here at very high. Check local guidance.

On the web

At a desk, it's the web app.

Same account, same trips. The map has room, and when someone else needs the plan there's a PDF and a share link. Any browser, any phone.

I travel in a self-converted VW Crafter with my family most summers. I built Quiet Route because the planning was the part of every trip nobody enjoyed, and it did not have to be.
