Mini Detour asks whether your stop will still be open when you arrive
An iPhone and CarPlay route planner that finds errands along your drive, measures the real detour, and checks opening hours against your arrival.
Field notes
The planner evaluates stops in sequence: route-corridor eligibility, measured road detour, arrival plus stop and parking time, and then local opening hours. Its examples assign category-specific dwell times, such as ten minutes for a pharmacy, twenty for a supermarket, and forty-five for a restaurant. If routing falls back from a travel-time matrix to an estimate, the page says the result receives a tilde rather than being presented as measured.
