Drive information for the next leg

Tomorrow's drive — at a glance.

What's shown

From tonight's venue to tomorrow's venue (or tonight's lodging to tomorrow's venue if different):

  • Total distance and estimated drive time (Google Maps, live traffic)
  • Route preview (map)
  • ETA based on your target load-in
  • Recommended departure time (load-in time minus drive + buffer)
  • Fuel stop suggestions (roughly halfway)
  • Rest stop suggestions (every 2–3 hours)
  • Weather along route

Departure time math

Mintoor computes:

Load-in time (at next venue)
- Drive time (Google Maps w/ traffic buffer)
- 30 min (settle, check in)
= Recommended departure

Shows with a countdown banner on the morning of: "Depart in 2h 47m."

Alternative routes

Two routes typically shown:

  • Primary — fastest per Google
  • Scenic / avoiding tolls — backup if preferred

Tap a route to expand details (tolls, highways, estimated stops).

Traffic updates

The drive ETA refreshes when you reload the road sheet. Live push alerts on traffic changes are on the roadmap — for now, check your phone's maps app for live conditions before you pull out.

Fuel stops

Suggested stops based on:

  • Tank capacity (configurable in vehicle settings)
  • Current fuel level (if you've logged last fill-up)
  • Price signals (GasBuddy data where available)
  • Crew preferences for stops (chains you like / don't like)

Lodging check-out timing

If you need to check out of tonight's hotel before driving, departure countdown accounts for that.

Still stuck?

  • ETA keeps changing. Normal with live traffic updates. Mintoor refreshes every 15 min.
  • Route goes through a road you don't want to drive. Tap alternative route or set preferences in Profile → Driving preferences.
