This guide explains the real uses of the app: find a spot, compare useful details, prepare a route, keep your places and share what deserves to be shared.
In short
OTR brings search, map, favorites, trips, journals and reviews together so you can prepare the road without juggling several tools.
To get started with OTR, begin here. It covers the essentials: search, compare, save, organize.
These simple methods cover the questions that come up before a motorhome or campervan trip: build a realistic route, find the right overnight stop and keep a plan that is easy to change.
A good route is not a race to collect miles. Start with a few important stops, then leave enough room for weather, breaks and unexpected discoveries.
The right stop depends on your vehicle, arrival time and required services. A motorhome area, campsite and car park serve different needs, so compare them before setting off.
A flexible itinerary works better than a minute-by-minute schedule. Connect the stops that matter, estimate distances and change the order when plans or conditions shift.
Here are the main OTR uses, explained simply from the traveler's side.
OTR helps you quickly find useful places around a destination or around you.
The results page helps you compare places without losing the area you are exploring.
Found places can become an organized route, stop by stop.
The journal helps keep track of the trip and tell the important stops.
OTR encourages useful feedback without turning travel into a points race.
Your personal content stays linked to your account and sharing choices.
When data exists, OTR adds the context that helps avoid bad surprises: reviews, weather, opening hours, fuel, photos or facilities.
Reviews help you feel whether a place really fits your trip: practical details, atmosphere, access and real value.
Weather helps avoid a badly timed stop: rain, wind or local conditions can change a plan.
In France, OTR can show fuel prices. Charging information also appears when available.
Photos give a concrete preview of a place and make journals more alive.
Free lets you discover OTR. Explorer fits regular trips. Road Pro is for longer routes and heavier use.
For exact limits, durations and prices, the full comparison is on the Pricing page.
