MOBILITY / NAVIGATION
Product ideaGoogle Maps · Vehicle-aware routes
A route-planning experience that lets drivers specify their vehicle and avoid roads, tolls or restrictions that don't work for them.
The “what if?”
What if your GPS actually knew what you're driving?
The idea
Navigation apps treat every driver roughly the same. But a van, a motorhome, a motorbike or a car with a trailer live in different cities: low emission zones, height limits, toll policies, narrow streets. This idea explores a vehicle profile as a first-class input · so the route you're given is one you can actually drive.
Where it stands
Status: product idea. Born from personal friction while driving. It's a critique and a sketch of direction, not a validated proposal.
