There are plenty of travel apps helping people plan their vacations, but the Roadtrippers app is special in that it encourages users to fully enjoy their road-based travel. Instead of helping you plan the most efficient route, Roadtrippers will give you driving directions based on the most interesting way to get to your destination.
Completely free to use, Roadtrippers first asks you to enter your destination, and while it will show you the most efficient and direct route to take, it also offers a completely different planning option. You can select from a myriad of filters, such as cool hotels, attractions and breathtaking landscape views, to customize your trip further. When you make these selections, you give Roadtrippers permission to plan a route that diverges from the first, most efficient route.
