Trip.ovh — Road Trip Intelligence from Open Data

A consumer web product from COD Solutions Oy that turns public US government and mapping datasets into detailed, practical driving-route guides. Distance, duration, fuel cost, seasonal driving conditions, EV charging, elevation, and points of interest — for millions of US routes, free to use.

Turning open data into plannable road trips

Classic map apps show you the route. Trip.ovh tells you what the drive is actually like and helps you decide whether, when, and how to take it.

Route character

Highway share, terrain, scenic vs. practical, longest uninterrupted stretch, and a drive score — computed from real road-network and elevation data, not subjective ratings.

Planning signals

Same-day vs. overnight pacing, recommended rest stops, fuel budget, seasonal best-time scores, EV-charging coverage along the corridor, and nearby national parks.

Comparisons

Drive vs. fly vs. train vs. bus on cost, time, and convenience — grounded in BTS on-time data, airline frequency, and real driving numbers for the same corridor.

Open government datasets, not crowdsourced reviews

Every number on a trip.ovh route page traces back to a public authoritative source. No scraped travel content, no republished user reviews.

Road network

OSRM routing engine over OpenStreetMap geometry — distances, durations, and step-level directions.

Fuel & cost

U.S. EIA weekly regional gasoline averages combined with EPA vehicle fuel-economy data for per-vehicle cost estimates.

Weather & seasons

NOAA Climate Normals sampled along the route for month-by-month driving conditions and best-time scoring.

Elevation

USGS 3DEP elevation data for grade, climb, and terrain classification — the signal behind scenic-drive detection.

EV charging

NREL Alternative Fuels Data Center for EV station coverage along the corridor, including DC-fast availability.

National parks & transit

NPS API for park proximity and BTS / GTFS feeds for train and intercity-bus comparisons.

Owned end-to-end by COD Solutions

Design, engineering, data pipeline, and long-term roadmap all live with the same team. No reseller, no white label, no outsourced content.

One team, one product

COD Solutions owns the Trip.ovh product direction, the data infrastructure behind it, and the user experience on top — so improvements ship as a whole rather than across vendors.

Transparent by default

Every route page cites the open datasets behind its numbers, links to the methodology, and shows when each value was last refreshed. There are no paid placements and no sponsored routes.

Always current

Fuel prices refresh weekly, seasonal conditions on a regular schedule, and route data is rebuilt when the underlying public sources change. Last-updated timestamps are visible on every page.
