Journey BuilderRoutes & roads
Your route worked out, on the roads you choose
Name where you're starting and where you're going. Journey Builder routes every leg, and you decide which roads it takes.
Every leg, worked out
As soon as your trip is set up, the route is on the map, with the distance and drive time for every leg. Towns along the way are ranked, and good stops are already being found.
- A live map with your start, stops and finish numbered
- Views for the full route, stops only, travel legs or sleep stops
- A warning if a stop can't be reached by road
Fastest, or fewer highways
Before you add a single stop, choose the shape of the whole trip. Each option shows its distance, its time, the extra time over the fastest, and the main road it follows.
- Compare routes side by side
- Switch between them instantly
Drag the route onto the road you want
Want the coast road through Big Sur instead of the highway inland? Open any leg and pick an alternative, or drag the line onto the road you want. It snaps to real roads, and your drive times, map and days update to match.
- Alternatives for every leg: fastest, fewer highways, eco
- Drag onto any road, up to eight points per leg
- Reset to the fastest route whenever you like
Drive, fly, take the train or the ferry
Not every leg is a drive. Set each leg to drive, fly, bus, taxi, train or ferry. Ferry crossings on your route are found automatically.
- Flight times filled in from the flight number
- Add your departure time to train legs
The route follows your stops
Add, remove or reorder a stop and Journey Builder tells you the route is out of date. One tap re-routes the trip through every stop, in order.
- Stops you pick on the map slot into place along the route
- Drag stops to reorder them
