A road trip planner for the whole car

Road trips fail on logistics, not scenery. Which town are we sleeping in Thursday, who's driving the long leg, did anyone actually book the cabin. bothways keeps the night-by-night plan in one place everyone in the car can see — including when the signal drops.

Plan by nights, not by miles

The useful unit on a road trip is where you're sleeping. Lay the trip out night by night, hang the day's stops off each one, and the whole route suddenly makes sense — including the day you've accidentally given yourself seven hours of driving.

Everyone can see it, including the passenger with the map

A road trip plan that lives on the driver's phone is useless. Share it and whoever's navigating can check the next stop, the cabin address and the check-in time without waking anyone up or asking three times.

Settle the driving and the fuel rules on day one

Rotation, fuel kitty, and who gets the aux. Put them in the plan alongside the stops and they stop being renegotiated at every gas station.

  • Night-by-night stops with addresses and check-in times
  • One shared plan for everyone in the car
  • A shared packing list for the cooler, the cables and the gear
