I see potential for some partnership or integration with AirBnB here. Not just day trip planning, but accommodations as well. Could be a tool for AirBnB providers to push their listing.

@jdemorrow Yeah absolutely! We've talked to some airbnb hosts already, and they like the idea of showing off their rental apartment in the routes they create. Sort of a deal package, awesome experience, and a place to stay

@jdemorrow I agree. AirBnB has been working on a less specific curation of locations called 'Neighborhoods' https://www.airbnb.com/locations . I've always hoped it would expand into something like this. I think the barrier to their model is that they're taking the full burden without user generated content.

One of the biggest pain when traveling is that you can't have an app that plan everything for you. I have been finding a solution to this problem cos I hate spending time planning when what I should do is go explore the city :) Tripadvisor /Uber/Party with a local doesn't help either so Kudos for this!

@linhpham24 Thanks! Yeah, we experienced that we used a lot of time when we travelled and had to use different applications to solve the need of planning our days. With Routes you get all the information you need, pictures, ratings, navigation and transit directions and offline capability.

Oh my, I've been planing to do the exact same app for a while now, but never found the time too! I'm so glad you did because I can finally use this tool I needed! Thank you very much!

Nice. This seems also like a convenient way to record my trips so that I can easily share routes from my travels with friends.

Amazing app! I've been waiting for something like this for a while. Can't wait to see this expanding to more cities 😁👍

@maxnucci Thanks man! Detour focuses on audio guides, while we focus on user generated content. Everyone can make a route and the community and our algorithm decides which routes is shown for the users, based on likes and views.

@percival Most existing travel apps gives you great tips on single venues, but you still have to plan ahead for your next activity. Say your at the Eiffel tower, what do you do after that? We are lazy and hate planning, so we were motivated by the idea of having someone plan a whole experience and share it with others.

@michaelgunnulf @percival I really like that thought. I have these obsessive tendencies to squeeze every last bit out of short trips, and easily become irritated when I start my list of "must-dos" from the wrong end. Add severe FOMO, and the trip is spoiled. Having all spots nicely laid out on a route, planned by someone who knows more about the city than me, is pure gold.
