Easy Route

A route as a simple numbered page — big steps, plain words, made to hand to someone, text to them, or print.

Open trip mode

What this does

Easy Route turns any trip into its own shareable page: numbered walk-and-bus steps, a street-map preview, and a QR code back to the live version.

When to use it

Use it when the person making the trip is not the person planning it — outreach handing a route to a client, or anyone who wants directions that survive a dead battery.

What you need

A trip. Build one in trip mode, or tap Easy Route on any listing page.

Getting an Easy Route

  1. From a listing

    Every listing page has an Easy Route button — in the header, and in the bottom toolbar on phones. It builds the trip to that place for you.

  2. From trip mode

    Build any trip on the map, then open the Easy Route view of it.

  3. Share or print it

    The page has its own link — text it, share it, or print it. The printed sheet includes the map preview and a QR code that opens the live version.

What the page contains

  • A summary line: start, destination, travel mode, and rough time.
  • Numbered steps with plain verbs: walk, board, ride, get off, arrive — each with distance, stop names, and what to look for.
  • Destination details: address, phone, and hours, so the person can call before leaving.
  • A street-map preview that prints, plus a link to the live map for real-time bus timing.

Common questions

Does an Easy Route link expire?

Links stay usable, but the route reflects when it was built. For a trip weeks later, rebuild it — schedules change.

Can I make an Easy Route for someone else’s starting point?

Yes — type any starting place when building the trip. Your own location is never required.

Where is the Easy Route button on a listing?

In the listing header next to Share and Print, and as “Easy” in the bottom toolbar on phones. See Understanding search results.
