Closures before you set off
Know when a familiar road has become the wrong choice today.
For the routes you already know

Not a sat nav. A pre-drive check for regular UK journeys.

Pick the route you want checked, not every possible road nearby.
Check before you leave
See whether the route looks clear, delayed, or disrupted before setting off.

FAQ
Questions before you set off?
Straight answers for drivers who already know the route, but want to know whether it is worth checking today.
Is Travel Scout a sat nav?
No. Travel Scout is a pre-departure route checker. It helps you check whether a selected route looks clear before you leave.
Why would I use this if I already know my commute?
Because the route can change even when your memory has not. Travel Scout helps you spot disruption before you set off.
How is this different from opening maps in the car?
Travel Scout is designed for the moment before you leave. It gives you a quick route check before you are already on the road.
Can Travel Scout warn me before a regular journey?
Travel Scout Pro can automatically check saved journeys before your planned departure time and notify you if disruption is found.
Does it work with UK postcodes?
Yes. Travel Scout is currently designed around UK roads and UK postcode-based journeys.
What do green, amber, and red mean?
Green means no major issue was found on your selected route. Amber means possible delays or disruption may affect the route. Red means stronger disruption has been found, such as closures or significant issues.
Does Travel Scout track my location?
Travel Scout is designed around selected route checks, not live turn-by-turn tracking. Read the Privacy Policy for more detail.
Where can I read the Privacy Policy?
The Privacy Policy is available on this website and linked from the Google Play listing.
