Parks & playgrounds on route
Free · In‑App Purchases
Long drives with kids don't have to be stressful.
SmartStops finds parks, playgrounds, and rest stops along your route — perfectly timed so everyone stays happy. Instead of pulling over randomly and hoping for the best, you'll know exactly where to stop, what's there, and how far off your route it is.
Unlike Google Maps or generic travel apps, SmartStops is designed around how families actually travel. It balances drive time with better places to stop, so you don't have to choose between speed and sanity.
No more juggling apps.
No more guessing where to stop.
Just calmer trips for everyone in the car.
