An operating system
for trips.
This is not a navigation app. It's the layer above navigation — the plan. Road trip, backcountry weekend, a week of city wandering: describe it and the agent builds it — routes, camps, hikes, detours worth taking.
Ask for the trip you actually want.
Type it the way you'd say it — dates, place, pace, where you want to sleep. The agent researches routes and stops, checks the drive, and assembles the itinerary in front of you. One tap saves it to your trips.
Watch the whole route before you commit.
Press PREVIEW TRIP and a simulated vehicle drives every mile of the plan on the map — day by day, stop by stop, up to 8× speed. If a day looks off, you'll know before you're in the car.
On the road, the plan rides with you.
Start the trip and your live position tracks along the route with the next stop ahead. NAVIGATE hands off to turn-by-turn guidance without ever leaving the plan.
Any app can tell you where you went, how far, how fast.
This one is for people who do things.
The record is the easy part — a line on a map after it's over. Pthfndr works on the other side of the trip: what's worth doing, which route, which nights, which detours. Everywhere you actually stop still gets logged. It just happens as a side effect of going.
THE LOG IS THE BYPRODUCT. THE TRIP IS THE POINT.Describe the trip. Get the plan.
Tell the planning agent what you want — a weekend of camping, a two-week coast run, three days in a city you've never seen — and it returns a complete itinerary: daily routes, stays, hikes, viewpoints, coffee worth detouring for, weather contingencies.
Drive the route before departure.
Run the complete itinerary as an animated map preview — day by day, stop by stop, at up to 8× speed. Catch overloaded legs and awkward detours while they're still easy to change.
Every day, color-coded on the map.
Routes render per travel day with stops classed by kind — campground, viewpoint, hike, food, fuel. The whole trip reads at a glance, like a system diagram.
Share the plan, not a group chat.
Invite friends into a trip. Everyone sees the same itinerary, the same branches, the same live status — and the log of everywhere you actually stopped.
