Congrats on the launch! Can you tell us what was the inspiration for creating this app?

@percival Most existing travel apps gives you great tips on single venues, but you still have to plan ahead for your next activity. Say your at the Eiffel tower, what do you do after that? We are lazy and hate planning, so we were motivated by the idea of having someone plan a whole experience and share it with others.

@michaelgunnulf @percival I really like that thought. I have these obsessive tendencies to squeeze every last bit out of short trips, and easily become irritated when I start my list of "must-dos" from the wrong end. Add severe FOMO, and the trip is spoiled. Having all spots nicely laid out on a route, planned by someone who knows more about the city than me, is pure gold.

Hi everyone! I'm the co-founder of routes.guide. We are an app where people can find routes - places connected together on a map. Routes gives you a super simple platform to find awesome stuff to do in a day. Examples of routes are: * City exploring * Date nights * Pubcrawls on a budget * Bike rides with epic views * Hangover day by the beach * Tokyo feel in San Francisco Routes is a platform that shows perfectly planned days made by locals. These are called routes. Every route is filled with pictures, ratings, navigation, transit directions and a (soon to be) offline map, that we aggregate from third party services. In this way you can save hours of planning and use fewer applications when you plan your trip. It's really great to have this platform if you come to a new city, or just want to explore the place you live in. Routes is currently in 5 cities, but we open new ones when we hit at least 20 routes in a city. Growth rate has been about 2 cities a week. Website: http://get.routes.guide/

@andreas_bollestad_pedersen it's a no brainer, literally - which I think has tremendous value.

This looks great, guys! What are the biggest reasons to use this app instead of other travel apps?
Michael Gunnulfsen
@simenfur You'll probably spend way less time finding great activities scheduled for the whole day, compared to other solutions, where you have to plan everything yourself. Also, the routes themselves are awesome and creative, so better chances of having a good time. Besides, you don't have to use other apps to get stuff like maps, directions or place ratings, its all in the route.
