RoadLens – What’s Ahead

RoadLens watches the road ahead and tells you when something worth stopping for is coming up.

No destination to type. No route to plan. No list to scroll. Mount your phone, drive, and when a castle, a museum, a beach or a deer forest comes within reach, one card appears: a photograph, the place's name, how far it is, and an arrow that shows which way to look.

ONE CARD, READ IN TWO SECONDS

The photograph is the biggest thing on the card, because a picture is recognised faster than a sentence. Distance and direction sit right on it. Nothing scrolls. When several places are close at once, they stack into a deck behind the front card instead of fighting for the screen.

FOR THE PASSENGER

Tap the card for the whole story: what the place is, how far away and in which direction it lies right now, and roughly when you will be level with it. One more tap opens directions.

NOTHING GETS AWAY

Swipe back along the rail to any place you passed on this drive. Save the ones you want for the way home — a saved place keeps its card, its details and its directions.

ONLY WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT

• Castles, monuments and historic sites • Nature, viewpoints, waterfalls and beaches • Hiking trails and geology • Museums, family attractions, zoos and theme parks • Bakeries, local food and playgrounds, if you want them • Campsites and motorhome stopovers, if you want those

Switch each category on or off and tune how often it turns up. On devices with on-device intelligence you can also just say what you are after in a sentence, and RoadLens turns it into more of this and less of that. A radar that shows you things you do not care about is just noise.
