We’ve built something we’re really proud of and it’s already helping families, digital nomads, and road trippers find the best stuff on the way, not just at the destination.
It’s our custom version we made to Make My Drive Fun, and if you’ve ever typed “things to do on a road trip” or “find stops between two places” into Google this is for you.
Whether you’re cruising through France, navigating the coastlines of Vietnam, or bouncing around Southeast Asia, this tool will change how you plan. You pop in your start and end point, and we show you what’s nearby. Not just landmarks, but hidden gems, accessible parks, quirky cafés, beaches, historic sites, toilets and more.
Why We Built It
We got sick of travel tools that only showed the big stuff or made it hard to find detours that were actually interesting. So we said nah, and built our own.
Now, with Make My Drive Fun, you can:
Quickly plan stops without bouncing between apps Filter by family friendly spots or “must see” detours Explore the route as you go, not just before you leave
How to Use It
Just head over to the tool page, punch in your departure and destination, and it’ll sort stops along the way based on what’s nearby. We’re still adding more filters and secret features, so keep checking back.
Where It Works Best
So far, it’s been tested on:
UK and Europe routes (yep, it handles France beautifully) Vietnam coastal drives like Phu Quoc to An Thoi, South America basically anywhere with Google Maps coverage so pretty much global – we even used it in china!
What’s Next?
We’re working on an update that’ll let you:
Share your route with friends and family Bookmark favourite stops and we recently added toilet availability (don’t laugh crucial with kids)
