Features
Everything to prepare your trip, from the road to the overnight stop
Enter a start, a destination, a duration of 1 to 21 days and your vehicle: Pakvia prepares every stage, from the road to the overnight stop.
Authorised overnight stops
Every evening, an official overnight stop from OpenStreetMap: motorhome area, campsite, shelter, hotel or guesthouse depending on your vehicle and your choice. No wild camping spots.
Suited to your vehicle size
Campervan, motorhome or large motorhome: the route follows heavy vehicle rules above 3.5 t, and places that are closed to or too small for your height, length and weight are left out. By bike, motorbike or car, the route follows your way of travelling and you choose your accommodation.
Meals and activities
A lunch, a dinner and up to 2 activities a day: sights, viewpoints, museums, castles and monuments.
Google Maps export
Open each day’s itinerary and each place’s link in Google Maps.
Practical overnight info
Free or paid, waste disposal, drinking water, electricity: the known details of each overnight stop are displayed. Every day, a dump station is suggested when your overnight stop has none.
Transparent coverage
A coverage indicator warns you when data is missing around your stages.
