Put in where you are going. As you drive, the towns, the landmarks and the tables you pass speak up with what happened there. Tap any pin for the whole story, rate it, review it, share it. Narration off or on, in ten languages, in the voice you pick.
Sign in with your email, put in where you are going, and preview the drive before you leave. It plays the route through at speed so you can hear it first.
Open Bare Maps →Shawn is a transportation manager and applied on a Saturday evening with more than an idea. Under the app description was a whole product requirements document. Introduction, features list, GPS navigation, content enrichment, user interface, monetization. It will narrate information on towns and cities as you pass. History, the well known spots, the food, and the users leaving their own ratings and comments.
Most people arrive with a sentence. Shawn arrived with a spec. The job was to build the spec, not to re-explain it.
The call was Friday at 12:30. The offer went out at 12:53. Shawn paid at 12:54 and emailed the logo at 12:56. Sunday evening it was live.
Turn by turn to wherever you typed. As you reach a town, a landmark or a table with a story, it speaks. Skip it, hear it, or open the whole thing.
Off or on. Ten languages. Pick the voice. Nothing talks over a story already playing, because being interrupted is how a driver turns the whole thing off.
Every restaurant, attraction and event takes a rating and a review. Add friends by email and see what they have been finding. Share a place inside the app or send the link anywhere.
A subscription Shawn keeps all of, an ad free upgrade, and sponsored slots that free accounts see on the road. Built in and priced from day one.
Start the drive and it asks: driving now, or preview? Preview plays the whole route through at speed. The map moves, the towns come up, the plaques appear and read themselves out, exactly as they will on the road. You hear the trip before you make it, and every stop it mentioned is kept under Trips when you get back.
