HOW IT WORKS

Plan the drive you will actually take.

01 · PLAN

Two places, a departure and your stops. The route is split into sections, and each one gets the forecast for the hour you reach it.

Every section, at the hour you get there.

Map, timeline and severity strip share the same numbering, and every time on them counts your stops. One glance shows which stretch matters and when you hit it.

STOPS

Your stops, planned around the weather.

Set your pace and Windshield Weather places the breaks, the meals and the nights. Add the places you are stopping at and move any stop you like. When the forecast turns, a stop waits out the weather, or the night comes before it.

BREAKMEALNIGHTHOVER OR TAP A STOP
  1. 01YOUR PACE

    Suggested places a break about every two and a half hours, a longer one at mealtimes, and a night after about nine hours at the wheel. Or choose how often you stop, for how long, how long you drive each day and when you set off.

  2. 02PLACES ON THE WAY

    Add up to five places you are stopping at, with when you will get there and how long you will stay, or spend the night.

  3. 03ANY STOP, YOUR WAY

    Add a stop wherever you like, move one or change how long it lasts. The forecast follows every change.

  4. 04AROUND THE WEATHER

    If waiting up to 90 minutes lets a hazard pass, the app waits. If it does not, the night comes early, before the bad weather.

BRIEFING

Seventy-two seconds. The whole drive, spoken.

A spoken forecast of your drive. Press play: the briefing reads the drive in order and lingers on the stretch that matters. Tap any part to jump there.

LIVE EXPLORATION

Drive it before you leave.

Travel your drive in 3D before you set off, with the forecast for each moment drawn where you will be: the sun low in the windshield, the crosswind on the open plain, the climb where the rain turns to snow.

  1. 01THE SUN AND THE MOON

    Where they will be over the road at every moment, and when one sits low ahead of you.

  2. 02THE WIND

    A headwind, a tailwind or a crosswind, from which side, and how hard it gusts.

  3. 03RAIN AND SNOW

    Falling as forecast where you will be, and turning to snow as the road climbs.

  4. 04WHAT COMES NEXT
