Pike is a new app designed to solve a common road-trip dilemma: deciding whether to stop at the current exit or gamble on the next one. It presents upcoming exit options via simple, glanceable cards showing amenities within 5 minutes of each exit, inspired by highway logo signs. The app aims to reduce decision fatigue and prevent missed opportunities, like passing the last preferred restaurant for hundreds of miles.
Background
Existing navigation apps like Google Maps and Apple Maps have limitations when planning stops during long drives, particularly in holistically showing low-detour options at upcoming exits. Their 'Add Stop' features are often incomplete and don't prioritize amenities by minimal time off the route.
