What Is Adventure Mode?
Adventure Mode is Drive IQ's local discovery experience for the moments when you want to go somewhere — but you haven't decided where yet.
Discover restaurants, coffee shops, attractions, outdoors, local favorites, hidden gems, and experiences worth turning into a drive.
THE SIMPLE ANSWER
GPS usually starts with a destination. Adventure Mode starts with curiosity.
Most navigation experiences assume you already know exactly where you want to go.
Adventure Mode flips that around. It helps you discover places, categories, and experiences first — then lets that discovery become the destination.
It is built for questions like: “Where should we go?” “What should we do?” and “What's around here?”
BUILT FOR THE “WHAT NOW?” MOMENT
Sometimes you want to go somewhere. You just don't know where.
“Where's somewhere good for coffee?”
Explore coffee shops and places nearby instead of searching one business at a time.
“Where should we eat?”
Discover restaurants and local options when nobody has picked the destination yet.
“What can we do outside?”
Explore outdoor places and destinations worth turning into the next drive.
“What's worth checking out?”
Find interesting places, hidden gems, and local experiences you might not have already known about.
DISCOVER FIRST. DRIVE SECOND.
Turn “I don't know” into somewhere worth going.
Adventure Mode is designed to make discovering the next destination feel like part of the trip instead of a separate research project.
Explore what's around. Pick something interesting. Then turn that place into the next drive.

HOW ADVENTURE MODE WORKS

→

Find something that sounds interesting enough to become the destination.
→
03

WHAT CAN YOU DISCOVER?
The destination can start with a mood.
Adventure Mode is designed around different kinds of places and experiences, so you can explore based on what sounds good right now.
Coffee
Coffee shops and places to stop for a drink and a break.
Outdoors
Places that give you a reason to get outside and explore.
Things To Do
Attractions, activities, and places that can turn into an outing.
Local Favorites
Places that make an area feel more interesting than a list of chains.
Hidden Gems
Interesting places you may not have already thought to search for.
WHEN TO USE ADVENTURE MODE
Built for plans that haven't happened yet.
DATE NIGHT
You want to go out.
But neither of you wants to spend 30 minutes deciding where.
ROAD TRIP
You have extra time.
See whether something interesting nearby deserves a detour.
NEW CITY
You don't know the area.
Explore what's around without needing to know specific business names.
WEEKEND
You just want to get out.
Find somewhere worth going before the entire day disappears.
SEARCH VS. DISCOVERY
Search is for when you know the answer. Discovery is for when you don't.
If you know the exact restaurant, business, address, or city, Drive IQ can search for it and start navigation.
Adventure Mode is for the opposite situation: you have an idea of what you want to do, but not a specific destination.
🔎
SEARCH
“Take me to this place.”
You already know the destination.
✨
ADVENTURE MODE
“Show me somewhere worth going.”
The destination comes from the discovery.
BUILT INTO THE DRIVE IQ EXPERIENCE
Adventure Mode doesn't live alone.
Drive IQ also includes GPS navigation, destination search, road-trip tools, stop discovery, and local discovery.
Adventure Mode is one part of a larger driving experience designed to help with both the route and the decisions around it.
