Wherever you travel, RouteTrail tells you which celebrity-loved restaurants, heritage and UNESCO sites, and hidden gems lie along your route — and alerts you before you pass them.
Why RouteTrail
Google Maps and Apple Maps get you there. RouteTrail tells you what's worth stopping for on the way — and taps you on the shoulder before you drive past it.

Think of it as a knowledgeable local in the passenger seat. Keep navigating with the app you already use — RouteTrail quietly rides along and speaks up when something special is coming up.
How it works
Enter where you're going. We find everything worth stopping at. You drive.
Type any start and destination — any city, town, or village in the world. We compute the real road route.
We show verified restaurants, celebrity-visited dhabas, temples, and hidden gems within easy reach of your route.
Tap the bell on any stop. When you get close, your phone alerts you — even if the app is in the background.
Features
Built for travel anywhere in the world — from national highways to every village byway.
Uses Google Directions API to trace the exact road you'll drive — not a straight line. Spots are matched to your actual path.
Follow in the footsteps of Rocky & Mayur, Chef Damu, Irfan's View, and more. Every spot is linked to a real source.
Your phone alerts you — and reads the spot aloud — as you approach. The range widens automatically at highway speed, and works with the screen off.
Not just food — temples, heritage sites, and historical landmarks are all on your route map.
Off-the-beaten-path spots that only locals know about — roadside stalls, century-old bakeries, tiny temples.
English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi — the app and the spoken alerts both follow your chosen language.
Your saved alert spots keep firing on remote highways with no signal. Go Pro to browse the full map and every spot offline too.
Help Centre
Everything you need to get going — from your first route to alerts that speak up on the highway.
When you tap the bell on a spot, RouteTrail watches your location as you travel. As you get near, your phone chimes and reads the spot's name aloud — so you can keep your eyes on the road. The alert range widens automatically at highway speed, and it works even with the screen off or the app in the background.
No. Once you've saved your alert spots, they keep firing on remote highways with no signal. With RouteTrail Pro you can also browse the full map and every spot completely offline.
Curated collections you can follow — the footsteps of food shows like Rocky & Mayur, Chef Damu and Irfan's View, plus heritage and devotional trails. Every spot links back to its real source, so you always know why it's on the list.
Yes. RouteTrail supports English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. Your chosen language applies to both the app and the spoken alerts. Change it any time from the app's settings.
