I made a route planner app (update from 2018)

Hello HN, I made the web app that helps plan your routes/road trips. It has so many options that I don’t know how to explain in simple words :), so I’ll try like this. What is cool about it is that your routes are shareable and hackable. The routes come in the format ie. https://camptarget.com/London,Uk/Vienna,AT/Istanbul,TR/5h:6d, meaning we travel from London via Vienna to Istanbul, driving 5 hours daily while our total time budget would be 6 days. At given breakpoints (after 5 hours) we can explore the nearby locality in radius of some 30-40 miles, for…

    Bike route planner that follows almost only official bike trails2024 · trailimap.com · ▲279

    Hey guys, I built a route planner that is mostly focused on bike touring and using existing bike infrastructure. For each request you're shown what bike tracks/trails your route uses and can further explore them by showing them on map or going to the official trail route. The main idea for the app is to have a friendly and easy to use planner that would make heavy use of official bike trails data (mainly from OpenStreetMap) and make it easy to plan a longer trip using the best possible bike routes out there. Currently the app only works for the Euro region but I'm planning to add North…

  • GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routesMay 2026 · gridtravel.app · ▲62

    Hey HN, My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval. We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration navigating new cities on every trip we took together. The idea: most people either search Google for "top 10 places to visit in…" lists or go on social media to get inspiration on where to go. GridTravel is built around user-generated routes — actual paths someone walked, that you…

    Itineraries.io – I built a joint trip planner in between surgeries2024 · itineraries.io · ▲96

    Hey HN, For the last several weeks, I have just been sleeping, eating, operating and developing itineraries.io. Rinse and repeat. I work as a surgeon in the UK. My main other passions are travel and programming. Recently, when I haven't been stitching someone up, I've been working on my project. Having always dreamed of exploring the world as a child, I struck a goldmine when I found a wife who shared the same love of adventure as me. We couldn't afford to travel much when we first met at university. Over the last couple of years, since both entering the workforce, we have been able to live…

  • My Flight RoutesJan 2026 · myflightroutes.com · ▲7

    Hi HN! I've always wanted a simple app to just track my flights and see how they look on a map. I know there are a lot of apps out there for this, but most of them make the process of loading flights really slow and require you to create an account. I wanted to focus mainly on these two issues and make it really simple and quick to load flights: just the mandatory origin and destination, you can add the rest of the flight details later if you want. You can also use it offline, basically as a "calculator" if you just want to quickly see data on a single flight route. On top of that, there's a…
