Don't miss all the fun by flying over great places! This App allows you to view attractions, events and special places recommend by locals and tourists on the way to your destination. Road trips are much better with exciting stops along the way!

My idea is to develop an App that allows you to program in your journey (starting point and destination) just like on Google Maps, except that along the route you can click on 'points of interest' to see what neat places you can at stop along the way. People can post their favourite spots, activties, restaurants, events etc. It should be designed for use with car, train, bicycle etc. Users should also be able to search for specific types of attractions. For example, a family with kids can search for 'family friendly', beer enthusiasts can search for 'local breweries', people who want to get out of the train/car and into the nature can search for 'nature hikes' or 'lakes' etc. The train version should show the different stations and what is going on in those areas. The app should also cooporate with train/ bus companies and have a link where you can purchase "Hop On - Hop Off" tickets. Once the user sees which activities are available along their route they can click on the stops for more information and to see ratings/ comments. 

With something like this - Flying is missing out!

    Hei cool idea, I was thinking also in this direction. Maybe it could be connected with my real time travel calculator. And this should be developed in a nice app. Free download in the stores and return on invest via sponsored adds etc. of the "great places", restaurants hotels etc on the way. Best Marc

    Maybe Marc and Bonnie can form a team to develop a good idea or solution.

    Hey Marc! I like your idea too! I already have some thoughts on how we can combine them. I will start a new idea and add you as an owner. After you accept my request we can work on it together and when it is ready publish it as collaboration. Cheers! Bonnie
