The Long Way

Turn any destination into a great drive. Discover twisty back roads, scenic detours, and weekend routes—then navigate them in Apple/Google Maps without reroutes.

The fastest route isn’t always the best one. The Long Way helps driving enthusiasts find routes that are fun to drive—more curves, better scenery, fewer boring highways.

Find roads worth driving Our routing engine prioritizes road curvature, elevation changes, and scenic points of interest to build a drive you’ll actually enjoy.

Smart Search (type what you feel like driving) Search in plain English like:

“coastal drive”

“woodsy back roads”

“twisty roads near me”

Use your favorite navigation The Long Way isn’t a turn-by-turn replacement. Instead, it exports your curated route into Apple Maps or Google Maps using a checkpoint system designed to keep you on the roads you chose.
