Navigation Is Broken. Here's What We Think Comes Next.

By Matthew Avant

For years, GPS apps have answered one question really well:

"How do I get there?"

But here's the problem...

Most of life isn't spent wondering how to drive somewhere.

It's spent wondering where you should go in the first place.

Where should we eat?

Is there a better coffee shop nearby?

What's actually worth the drive?

Where do locals really go?

What's open right now?

Which route gives me the best experience not just the fastest arrival?

Those are decision problems.

Traditional navigation was never built to solve them.

Introducing Drive IQ

Drive IQ isn't trying to replace maps.

It's trying to make every drive smarter.

Instead of simply calculating roads, Drive IQ helps you make better decisions before, during, and after every trip.

We call it Navigation That Thinks Ahead.

More Than Turn-by-Turn

Drive IQ combines navigation with local intelligence to help answer questions like:

• Where should I eat near me?

• What's worth the drive?

• What are the best local restaurants?

• Where are the hidden gems?

• What's happening nearby tonight?

• What's the smartest stop along my route?

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of search results, Drive IQ is designed to surface recommendations you can actually trust.

Built Around Confidence

At Drive IQ, confidence matters.

When we recommend a destination, a stop, or a route, we want you to understand why.

That's why Drive IQ is being built around intelligence systems like:

• Route IQ

• Adventure IQ

• Travel IQ

• Arrival IQ

• Search IQ

• Taste IQ

• Local Favorites

• Worth the Drive

Together, these systems are designed to reduce uncertainty and help people make better local decisions.

Helping Local Businesses Too

Great local businesses deserve to be discovered.

Drive IQ isn't just about helping drivers.

It's also about helping restaurants, coffee shops, attractions, retailers, and local businesses connect with customers who are already nearby and ready to visit.

That's why we're also building Local IQ, our AI growth platform for local businesses.

Together, Drive IQ and Local IQ create a smarter local ecosystem:

Drivers discover better places.

Businesses reach the right customers.

Communities become stronger.

This Is Just the Beginning

We're building Drive IQ because we believe navigation can be more than directions.

It can become your personal local intelligence.

Whether you're planning a road trip, searching for dinner, looking for hidden gems, or simply trying to make a better decision, our mission is simple:

Help you drive with confidence and discover what's truly worth the drive.

The future of navigation isn't just getting there.

It's knowing where to go next.
