Hand it to whoever called it. It clocks every leg, flags the drives too long to do in one shot, scouts pit stops and side quests to break them up, and ships your trip straight to your phone's maps and calendar.
Anything over this is a "long haul" (we suggest breaking for the night). Anything 80% to 100% of it is a "pretty long" leg (still doable, plan a coffee stop).
Save the current rig (the one you've selected up top) under a nickname, or manage rigs you've already saved.
Each checked category is a separate MapQuest call per search point along the route. More checked = more thorough, but more API tokens used. Default picks cover the common cases.
Cache the current route's tiles so the map keeps working when signal drops. Tiles cache at three zoom levels (overview, region, city/highway). Live API calls (weather, routing, POI search) still need signal.
Default keeps the scroll wheel for the page so the map doesn't grab it when your cursor passes over. Hold Ctrl (or ⌘ on Mac) + scroll to zoom.
Pick the look of the map. Street is the default. Clean is a soft grayscale, good for reading the route over. Terrain shows elevation. Satellite is aerial imagery.
$/gal averages auto-update from the US Energy Information Administration (weekly retail data). Fallback defaults from are used until the live fetch lands.
Routing uses MapQuest Directions, with OSRM as a fallback if MapQuest is down. Pit stop and side quest search uses MapQuest Search v4. All API keys are held server-side.
Edits auto-save to the active trip. Switch any time; nothing's lost. Cloud sync arrives once the bank account does.
