A multi-day road-trip planner. Set a start and end, add stops, and Routebook routes between them, splits the drive across days, and estimates drive time, distance, and fuel cost as you go — weather for your arrival hour, a shared budget, and a print-ready PDF roadbook are all part of the same trip.
Yes — routing (Mapbox) and weather (Open-Meteo) cover the whole world. A handful of features are Europe-specific by data source: EU fuel-price averages, and the country guides for Austria, Switzerland, and Slovenia. Those are regional extras on top of a global router, not the whole product.
You need a free account to save a trip — sign-in is a magic link, no password. Anyone you send a read-only share link to can view the trip with no account at all.
Sign in, set a start date, end date, and starting point, and Routebook lays out the days between them. Add stops and drag them between days — drive time and distance recalculate as you go.
Yes — browse published trip templates and copy one as a starting point for your own trip, stops and all, instead of building a route from a blank map.
Yes, it's installable as a PWA on desktop and phone from your browser's install prompt. Desktop and phone use the same responsive site, so there's nothing extra to learn — a side panel above 900px width, a bottom sheet below it.
Routebook sends your stops to Mapbox's routing engine and splits the resulting drive across the days you've set, estimating drive time, distance, and fuel cost per leg as you add or reorder stops.
Yes — each leg between two stops has its own highway and toll override, so you can route around a toll road for one stretch of the trip without changing the rest.
Three basemaps to choose from, switchable per trip.
Routebook flags a day that's turned into a brutal drive and offers to move the boundary stop to a neighbouring day. A separate "Optimize day" button (Plus and Family) reorders a day's stops for minimum drive time, keeping your fixed overnight stop in place.
Routebook reads the forecast for the hour you're actually scheduled to arrive at each stop — not the day's average — from Open-Meteo, and flags mountain passes on your route for snow, ice, or closures. It's a forecast, so accuracy narrows the closer the stop is.
Hand-sourced "know before you go" pages — vignette and toll rules, equipment law, low-emission zones, speed limits, and emergency numbers — for Austria, Switzerland, and Slovenia so far, each linking straight to that country's own toll authority. In-app, a border-crossing card surfaces automatically on the day your route first enters a guide-covered country.
Yes — an OpenStreetMap-backed search for campsites, caravan sites, motorhome parking, and sanitary dump stations near your overnight stop. It's free and keyless, with no quota limit.
Save each vehicle once — fuel economy, tank size, fuel type, and price per unit — in your Garage, then assign one to a trip from "Fuel & car" instead of typing numbers by hand each time. Fuel cost and range warnings are computed from that vehicle for every trip it's assigned to.
From the vehicle assigned to the trip — its real fuel economy applied to the route's actual distance — resolved server-side, so the figure is the same for every viewer of a trip regardless of who's signed in.
Yes. When a day's driving would run your vehicle's battery out before the next stop, Routebook searches Open Charge Map along your route corridor and ranks charging stops by detour and charge rate, so you can insert the best one as a real stop. This is a Plus/Family feature.
Same idea as the EV planner: if your tank would run dry before the next stop, Routebook searches for fuel stations along the route and lets you drop the best one in as a mid-day stop. Plus and Family.
Log lodging, food, tolls, and other expenses per day. Fuel is added automatically from your vehicle and route — nobody types it in by hand. You get a running trip total, a projected-at-finish figure once the trip has a start date, and a target you can plan against. Budget splitting and the projected total are Plus and Family.
Yes — a TollGuru-backed per-leg toll estimate (EUR-only) folds into the same tolls category as any tolls you log by hand. Plus and Family.
Yes — for a trip with more than one person, Routebook works out a per-person paid/owed split from every logged expense, so you can settle up at the end without a spreadsheet. Plus and Family.
Yes — log an expense in whatever currency you actually paid in, and a daily FX rate converts it into one consistent trip total, so a trip crossing several countries still adds up honestly.
On Family, the trip's vehicle picker offers every collaborator's Garage, not just the owner's — useful when a group is deciding which car to take.
A read-only share link (/s/...) needs no account and shows the trip to anyone who has it — no editing. A named member is invited by email as an editor or viewer, and editors can actually change the trip. An editor can also invite further members; only the owner can manage the share link or remove members.
Yes — presence shows who's viewing a trip and which stop they have open, edits merge live rather than overwriting each other (down to which fields and which drag-reordered position), editors can leave a suggestion on a stop for another editor to accept or dismiss, and an activity feed catches every change.
Free has no collaborators — solo planning only. Plus allows up to 2. Family allows up to 6.
Yes — a day can hold an open poll of several proposed stops; closing it turns the winning option into a real stop automatically.
Yes — the owner can transfer ownership to any accepted member from the Share sheet. The outgoing owner isn't dropped from the trip; they become an editor.
An overnight stop shows real nearby lodging with an "Open in Booking.com" link. There's no in-app pricing or rating — that data sits behind Booking's own partner-approval API, so Routebook links out rather than guessing.
Open any day in Google Maps, export a GPX track for a GPS device, export an ICS calendar, or export a print-ready PDF roadbook — day maps, stop notes, blank note lines, A4 or Letter, one page per day with a line-drawn route sketch and a ruled waypoint table.
No — PDF roadbook export is a Plus and Family feature.
Yes, via JSON trip import.
The PWA's offline story isn't finished yet, so the reliable way to have your plan with no signal is to export the PDF roadbook before you go — it's a real map and stop list on paper, not a plain-text dump.
A native-app track is underway alongside the web app, so far a thin native shell with a native screen for background location tracking. The full site is the same experience on desktop and phone today via the responsive PWA.
Free, Plus, and Family. Free covers unlimited trips with full routing, day-by-day stops, and drive time, solo. Plus and Family add weather, PDF export, budget splitting with tolls, day optimization, the refuel/EV-charge planner, and collaborators (2 on Plus, 6 on Family). Family also shares the Garage across collaborators.
No. Free covers unlimited trips with full routing, day-by-day stops, and drive time — Plus and Family add weather, collaboration limits, budget splitting, tolls, and export.
Yes — switch or cancel anytime. Prices are in EUR.
Free itself has no time limit or trial window — unlimited solo trips, indefinitely. Compare exactly what each paid tier unlocks on the pricing page before upgrading.
Only you, unless you invite a member or send the share link — every trip and its stops are protected by row-level security in the database, not just hidden in the interface. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Yes, from Settings — it's gated behind typing your own email address to confirm, and removes your trips and data along with the account.
Yes, both from Settings; email changes go through Supabase's own confirmation flow.
Magic link by email — no password to remember or leak. Click the link Routebook sends you and you're in.
