68° in a van:
A new way to plan your road trips
The 68° app is much more than just a GPS for your road trip. It’s a true travel guide designed by and for vanlifers. It supports you before, during, and after your van trips and outings.
The GPS app for every vanlifer
There are many ways to experience a van road trip. Some vanlifers love to plan everything in advance: mapping out their route, choosing the roads, scouting for breaks, planning where to sleep, identifying useful services, and building every stage before departure. Others prefer to head out more freely, with a general direction, a few ideas in mind, and the flexibility to adapt the route as they go, depending on the weather, people they meet, the scenery, their needs at the time, or simply their mood that day.
But in any case, van travel remains above all an adventure on the move. You move from place to place, discovering a region at the pace of the road, looking for the right spot to take a break, sleep, refuel, visit, or extend a stay that deserves a bit more time. The joy of van life is also this freedom to change your route, stay an extra night, switch valleys, follow a coastline, or take a small road spotted at the last minute.
It is precisely to support this way of traveling that 68° was created. The app doesn’t force a fixed itinerary on you: it helps you plan, adapt, and enrich your road trip at your own pace. Whether you like to organize every stage or leave plenty of room for improvisation, 68° is with you before departure and on the road, with one simple goal: to preserve the pleasure of planning, driving, stopping in the right place… and discovering.
An all-in-one app for van travel
68° is based on a simple principle: bringing together in a single app everything that makes planning and traveling in a van simpler, smoother, and more enjoyable, without taking away the charm of vanlife: freedom.
Instead of jumping from one tool to another to map a route, find interesting roads, look for places to discover, find a stopover, identify useful services, or follow your progress, 68° brings all these uses together in a single app designed for road trips.
This all-in-one approach doesn’t try to lock in your trip or replace the fun of improvising. On the contrary, it helps limit the constraints that often complicate organization: too many apps, too much scattered information, and too much time wasted searching at the last minute.
With 68°, you keep the essentials: the freedom to choose your route, the flexibility to adapt your stops, the pleasure of driving at your own pace, and the ability to easily discover what’s around you or along your path.

Create itineraries tailored for van travel
With 68°, creating a van itinerary isn’t just about picking a starting point and a destination. The app allows you to adapt your route to your way of traveling, the time available, the planned stops, and the pace you want for your road trip.
You can prioritize the fastest route when the goal is to efficiently reach a region, a starting point, or an important stop. You can also choose a more balanced, direct path without necessarily taking the highway, to make steady progress while still enjoying the drive.
For vanlifers who like to take their time, 68° also lets you favor more pleasant, winding, or scenic roads, so you can pass through villages, follow a coast, drive through valleys, discover landscapes, and turn the drive into a real part of the journey.
The goal isn’t to impose a fixed path, but to help you build a route that matches your current mood: moving fast, taking your time, avoiding main roads, making a beautiful transition, or simply enjoying the ride. With 68°, the road isn’t just for getting somewhere: it’s part of the trip.
Carefully selected points of interest
A good van road trip isn’t just a nice road between two stops. It’s also everything you discover along the way: a village to stop in, a viewpoint worth the detour, a natural site, a monument, or a practical spot to organize the next part of the trip.
In 68°, you’ll find points of interest designed to enrich your journey. The goal isn’t to drown you in thousands of addresses, but to help you easily spot what can make your route more interesting!
This way, you keep a real overview of your trip, what’s around you, or what’s along your route, without having to constantly switch between apps.
GPS navigation designed for van travel
Once your itinerary is ready, you can follow it directly in the 68° app. The navigation stays with you throughout your road trip, whether you’re heading out for a few days, several weeks, or a long cross-country journey through various stages.
The app is compatible with smartphones and can be used with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto depending on your setup. This keeps your route at your fingertips, with useful information to move forward more confidently, adjust your path if needed, and enjoy the trip without juggling multiple tools.
Accommodations adapted to van life
Sleeping in your van is an integral part of the experience. Finding a beautiful spot to spend the night, waking up to an inspiring landscape, or enjoying the freedom to change your plans at the last minute is often one of the main reasons for traveling this way.
But even the most self-sufficient vanlifers sometimes appreciate a more comfortable break. After several days on the road, a well-equipped campsite, a welcoming B, or a night in a hotel lets you enjoy a real shower, a good meal, comfortable bedding, or simply a moment of rest.
In these cases, being able to park your van in a private, secure, or monitored space brings valuable peace of mind, especially when the vehicle is carrying all your essential gear and personal belongings.
Finally, flexibility remains at the heart of vanlife. A change in weather, fatigue, a place that’s less pleasant than expected, or simply the desire to extend a stay can change plans in minutes. Being able to quickly identify suitable nearby accommodation and book at the last minute allows you to keep that freedom while traveling in the best possible conditions.
