Kozhen, who has ever planned a long trip by car (for example, from the Carpathians across all of Europe), knows this: the capabilities of a standard navigator are limited. Drivers have to manually store kilometers, check the availability of a gas station at different prices at different prices, find a place to spend the night and understand the rules of paying for roads..
Ukrainian retailer and project founder Maxim Otroshko presented a cost-free service AutoRoam, which transforms the chaos of planning car trips into a single sensible timeline in a few seconds.
Primary navigators, such as Google Maps or Waze, will provide a route from point A to point B, but do not provide nutritional information about the travel budget, points including driving and purchasing a toll.. AutoRoam takes all the routine on yourself.
Key features and functionality of AutoRoam.
The service breaks down a complex route into logical sections and forms a Trip Timeline - a vertical visual scale of the route, where all the steps are arranged in chronological order.
Pay calculator: the customer enters the cost of your car and removes the exact cost in hryvnias, euros, dollars and zlotys according to the current prices at gas stations (plus 10% reserve);
“Smart” steps: the addition of an insurance hour at age and automatically shows what to expect after a long journey (for example, skin 8 years per kerm), tightening life options;
Cordons and vignettes: the system accurately recognizes the crossbars of state cordons and provides dynamic messages to official websites for the purchase of vignettes without intermediaries or fines;
Insurance in 1 click: integration of the secure Green Card and travel insurance.
Technical stack and UI/UX solutions.
AutoRoam expands by introducing an adaptive web browser (PWA) that runs directly in the browser on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop - which allows us to avoid filling up the memory of devices installed from add-on stores..
The mobile version removed the Bottom Bar and Map Sheet for manual operation with one hand. Desktop interface is a vikoryst concept of Split View with a dynamic photo background of the edges through which the route runs.
The project was inspired by the current technology stack: Next. js 16 (App Router), React 19, Tailwind CSS and Zustand. For geocoding and generating routes, open-source solutions OSRM and OpenStreetMap are used, which guarantees high speed of work.
