Your Friends' Favorite Drives
Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 1:51PM New BMW App Crowdsources Driving Routes
We've covered plenty of apps that will show you the quickest route for a trip or even the most fuel efficient. But what about just the most fun route? ![]()
With BMW's Ultimate Drive app, you'll be able to see just that. We mentioned Ultimate Driver yesterday, and this is just another awesome feature.
With this app, drivers can create and search for other drivers' favorite routes. It almost feels more like a travel guide than a navigation app. If you aren't on a time crunch, this seems like a fun app to try out on a Sunday afternoon.
You can search for routes by location or sort them by length, newness, and user rating. You can also comment on submitted routes, share them through Facebook, or save them to your GPS. Plus other users can obviously do the same to your routes.
Cnet reports that users have been good about leaving tips concerning potential road hazards such as closures. Seems like an app that will be made or broken by it's social use.
Either way we think it's cool, feel free to check it out and let us know what you think!
