Drivers and riders who plan their route on purpose
A sat nav that never auto-reroutes
You chose that road for a reason. Tarmac will never swap it for a faster one without asking.
The problem
Mainstream navigation apps reroute the moment they think they've found a quicker way — dumping you onto a dual carriageway when you planned a mountain pass.
How Tarmac helps
How it works
- Step 1
The plan is canonical
Your saved route is the route. Deviations never overwrite it.
- Step 2
Suggestions, not decisions
When traffic is heavy, Tarmac suggests a diversion and shows the time saving. You tap to accept or ignore it.
- Step 3
Diversions rejoin the plan
Accepted diversions are temporary overlays that bring you back onto your planned route.
