Three Good Stops
Sign in

You pick how long to drive.
We name the three best towns to stop.

Not the next rest area. Not a list of 200 pins. Three real towns along your actual route — with gas, food and a bed — and a plain-language reason each one earned its spot.

1

Salisbury, NC

Basically on your route — 1.2 miles off. 15 hotels, 108 places to eat, 35 gas stations.

2

Kannapolis, NC

A 2.9-mile detour. 21 hotels and 90 places to eat — the safest bet for a room.

3

Charlotte, NC

3.1 miles off. 79 hotels, 747 places to eat, if you'd rather end the day in a city.

A real plan from the live app — not a mockup.

The problem isn't finding somewhere to stop

It's finding somewhere worth stopping, at the hour you actually want to stop, without pulling over to research it.

Maps answers the wrong question

It shows you what's near the exit you already passed. It has no idea you wanted to drive four hours and then find a bed.

Trip apps bury you in pins

Two hundred markers on a map isn't a decision. You still have to do the work at 70 mph.

Exit signs are a coin flip

A "food · gas · lodging" sign can mean twelve options or one closed diner. You find out after you've committed to the ramp.

How it works

1

Tell us the drive

Where you're leaving from, where you're headed.

2

Tell us when you want to stop

"Three hours in." "Four hours in." Whatever your body, kids, or dog actually allows.

3

Tell us what kind of stop

Stretch your legs, a real meal, or an overnight. Different needs, different towns.

4

Get three good stops

Ranked, with the detour distance and what's actually there — then one tap into Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze.

Why the picks hold up

Your real route

We route the drive the way a navigation app would, then find your stopping point along it — not a straight line on a map.

Towns, not exits

Every candidate is a real town with real businesses in it, checked against an index of 343,701 places. Ghost exits don't make the list.

The detour is stated up front

1.2 miles off route or 13 miles off route — you see it before you choose, in plain English.

Pricing

Try it free. If you road-trip more than once a year, it pays for itself the first time you don't waste an hour looking for dinner.

Questions

Do I have to pay to try it?

No. You get three full trip plans free with an email and password — no card, and nothing charges automatically when they run out.

What area do you cover?

All 48 continental states — 1.4 million real places in 142,000 towns. If we can't find a real stopping town on your route, we tell you instead of inventing one.

Why only three stops?

Because that's a decision you can make while driving. We also show the runners-up if you want to second-guess us.

Can it plan multiple stops on one long drive?

Today it solves one stop at a time — the one you asked about. Multi-stop days are coming.

What about EV charging?

Not yet. We'd rather ship it accurate than fast, and charger data is a project of its own. It's on the list for version 2.

Three hours from now, you'll want somewhere good to stop.
