⚡ Pro-Only Superpowers
If you're on Pro (or thinking about it 👀), here's where things get seriously good:
🚇 Transit Mode (Pro)
Subways, buses, shuttles—you're routed automatically. Perfect for cities or anywhere parking is "ha, good luck."
🔀 Optimize Stop Order (Pro)
Select your locations → get the most efficient route. Save gas, save time, save the group chat from mutiny.
Great for road trips, sightseeing days, or hitting eight viewpoints before sunset.
📅 Use Trip Dates for Routing (Pro)
Seasonal road closures factored into your routes.
No more "Wait… that road is closed?" surprises. Pro keeps things real.
💡 Why Upgrade to Pro?
Because it turns your itinerary from a list… into a system.
Pro = ✓ Smarter routing ✓ More accurate timing ✓ Real transit support ✓ Automatic efficiency wins ✓ Fewer surprises on the road
If your trip has more than three moving parts, Pro pays for itself the first time it saves you 30 minutes.
