Three Good Stops

A road trip planner that picks the stops, not just the route

Where are you driving?

Type where you're leaving from and where you're going — see your stops right now. Free, no signup.

Maps already know the fastest way. What they don't tell you is where to get off the road. Put in where you're starting, where you're going, and how long you want to drive between breaks — you'll get real towns for each stop with the reason each one earned it.

What you get back

Built for the way a drive really goes

The planner walks your route in time. A stretch trigger fires every couple of hours, fuel fires on range, meals fire near noon and 6:30, and an overnight fires when the driving day hits its limit. Triggers that land close together merge into one good stop instead of three annoying ones — because nobody wants to pull off twice in twenty minutes.

Want the next three of these?

We write one new drive a week — three real towns, the drive math, what we would skip. Leave an email and we will send them as they go up. No more than one a week, unsubscribe in a click.
