A consumer web product from COD Solutions Oy that turns public US government and mapping datasets into detailed, practical driving-route guides. Distance, duration, fuel cost, seasonal driving conditions, EV charging, elevation, and points of interest — for millions of US routes, free to use.
Classic map apps show you the route. Trip.ovh tells you what the drive is actually like and helps you decide whether, when, and how to take it.
Highway share, terrain, scenic vs. practical, longest uninterrupted stretch, and a drive score — computed from real road-network and elevation data, not subjective ratings.
Same-day vs. overnight pacing, recommended rest stops, fuel budget, seasonal best-time scores, EV-charging coverage along the corridor, and nearby national parks.
Drive vs. fly vs. train vs. bus on cost, time, and convenience — grounded in BTS on-time data, airline frequency, and real driving numbers for the same corridor.
Every number on a trip.ovh route page traces back to a public authoritative source. No scraped travel content, no republished user reviews.
OSRM routing engine over OpenStreetMap geometry — distances, durations, and step-level directions.
U.S. EIA weekly regional gasoline averages combined with EPA vehicle fuel-economy data for per-vehicle cost estimates.
NOAA Climate Normals sampled along the route for month-by-month driving conditions and best-time scoring.
USGS 3DEP elevation data for grade, climb, and terrain classification — the signal behind scenic-drive detection.
NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center for EV station coverage along the corridor, including DC-fast availability.
NPS API for park proximity and BTS / GTFS feeds for train and intercity-bus comparisons.
Trip.ovh is owned end-to-end by COD Solutions Oy. We run the data pipelines, the quality checks, and the editorial standards.
A route page is only indexable once it has real geometry, a computed drive character, a complete trip plan, and a non-empty narrative. Routes failing any check stay noindex and are surfaced for review.
Narrative paragraphs are drafted by a Gemini model against a strict prompt that forbids inventing landmarks or scenic claims. The prompt feeds only from our own computed route data and is tuned by the team.
Fuel prices refresh weekly, weather/elevation on schedule, and route enrichment is rebuilt when source data changes. Last-updated timestamps are shown on every page.
