Route 08: Travel. Map. Match.

Your trips. Your people.

Find your people
And the recs you trust.

Route 08 keeps track of everywhere you've been, the way you want. Log your trips, pick what you care about, and find the travelers whose paths actually cross yours. Not a feed. Not a follower count. Just the people who've been where you've been, and what they'd tell you about it.

Track what you care about
Parks, states, countries, UNESCO sites, airports, airlines. Pick the ones that matter to you right now and they lead your Passport and your counts: 9 national parks, 17 states, 41 cities. The rest steps back. Change it any time.

Your travels, found in your photos
Catch up fast. Route 08 reads where and when your photos were taken and finds every place you've been. Cities, national parks, UNESCO sites, even the airports you've flown through, with the dates you were there. Years of trips in a minute. You choose what goes in, and your photos stay on your phone.

Share where you've been
Story-size cards for your counts, your My 8 and where you rank. One tap to post.

Recs for every city
Every place has its own page with every rec from travelers who’ve been, anywhere in that city. Search a place, or browse by country. Add a whole country to Want to Go, like Japan or Italy, and read recs from all of it.

Leave a Rec
For every place in your Passport, you can leave one rec. The single thing you would tell a friend. Not a list. Not a guide. One rec. Tap Write on the Recs tab to see the places you haven’t written about yet. Your name shows only to friends.

Ask the people who’ve been
Heading somewhere? Ask everyone who has been there. You stay anonymous unless you’re friends.

Plan a trip
Pick a month and your stops, as many as you want. See each stop's recs, the friends who've been and when travelers went. Ask for recs for the whole trip at once, or ask the one person whose rec you want to know more about. Only you see your trips.

My 8
However you read it. Your favorites. Places that made you. Of all the places you’ve been, your 8.

Match on where you’ve been
Travelers who’ve been to the same cities rise to the top of your feed, and so do the ones who’ve been where you want to go. The more you share, the higher they sit. Add one as a friend to see their Passport and their recs.

Want to Go
Keep a list of the places you’re dreaming about, or the whole countries. See how many travelers have been, how many are friends, and how many recs are waiting.

The Daily
A daily ritual. One card a day. A word. A statistic. A quote. A right-now fact about the time of day somewhere. Quiet, not noisy. Keep a streak going by logging a place, writing a rec, adding a Want to Go, or reading the Daily.

See how you stack up
The boards count places, not people: 52% of travelers have been to London. Countries, states and cities, and where you rank among everyone and among your friends. Climb if you want to. Ignore if you don’t.

Your Runway Map
The airports you’ve flown through, rendered as a runway diagram drawn to scale.

Founding 500
The first 500 people on Route 08 carry a Founding 500 badge. Your number, locked in forever. It shows on your profile and on your matches.
