A GPS and AI powered road trip co-pilot who narrates stories about the places you drive by. Right now, just covering all of North America. This is not manually curated and will deliver stories even in sparsely populated areas. It's a big database. The AI makes the content dynamic and provides the TTS.

I've driven by a road sign fairly regularly for years for a specific monument. No clue what it was for. But, I always figured there was a story behind it. So I built an app that will tell me. I built what I would want, which may not be the brightest idea.
Miles Along tells those stories. An app that will narrate stories about the things you drive past on any trip. I included ways for passengers to play classic car games (solo or multiplayer) like the license plate game, road sign alphabet, and car bingo. Also deploying the AI to play 20 Questions/Guess who I am, I Spy, and Would You Rather?
An additional feature tries to solve the problem of searching food or gas AHEAD of you. Not just "near you". Something that's always bugged me about most navigation apps.
Initially, I didn't think too much about releasing it, but a few friends who tried it out were really encouraging. There are costs to operate it. But in the spirit of building what I would want, I went the harder route of in-app purchases for short periods of use, instead of a subscription. It's not an app you would use every day. I'm more than happy to share 50 3-day promo codes to folks who might want to unlock all the features and really kick the tires.
It's not a travel or trip planner. It's not navigation. It's just a co-pilot telling you about historic places, roadside oddities, geographical features, and arts/cultural. You can turn categories off or on in an effort to produce different results over the same route.
Turns out that sign is for a monument to mine workers who lost their lives during a labor dispute.
