Your co-driver for
the long way around.
Scout is xOverland's AI co-driver, powered by the model you choose. Tell her where you're headed and she plans the whole overland run — the route, the overnights, a legal place to camp — then rides along and keeps a watchful eye on you the whole way.
Say it. Scout maps the days.
Tell Scout where you're headed and she turns it into a real multi-day itinerary — routing the drive, then splitting it into sane daily legs with departure and arrival times, fuel and food stops, and a place to sleep each night. Every stop has a reason.
- Multi-day legs sized to real driving hours
- Fuel, food, rest and overnight stops
- Departure & arrival times for every day
- Reshapes as you pick routes and stops
Scout's plan
Surprise, AZ → San Francisco
- 7:10a depart
- Fuel · Quartzsite
- Lunch · Blythe
- Overnight · near Mojave
- 8:00a depart
- Fuel · Kettleman City
- Arrive · Cliff House 4:40p
A place to sleep — even off-grid.
This is the part other trip apps skip. Scout hunts real campgrounds and legal dispersed camping on public BLM and USFS land right along your route — cross-checked against active wildfires, with an elevation hint for flat ground. Then each night she lays out a camp and a hotel with honest reasoning, and you choose.
- Established campsites + legal dispersed land
- Public-land ownership aware (BLM / USFS)
- Steers clear of active wildfire areas
- Camp-vs-hotel — your call every night
Tonight, near Mojave
Camp or hotel? Your call.
BLM dispersed land
12 mi off-route · flat · no fire nearby
Quiet, free, weather's clear — my pick tonight.
Barstow motel
$78 · hot shower · off the highway
If you'd rather not set up after a long day.
Fast, or the long way worth taking.
Enter a destination and Scout gives you at least two ways there — a fast route, and a scenic one that threads the coast, scenic byways, and historic markers. She shows the honest trade so you pick the drive you actually want, and the whole itinerary reshapes around it.
- A fast route and a meaningful one
- Threads coastline, byways & historic markers
- Honest trade-offs, not just the quickest line
- Your pick reshapes the days and overnights
Two ways to San Francisco
Fast, or worth it.
I-10 → I-5
Straight shot, one overnight.
Up the coast on CA-1
Big Sur, Monterey, + 3 historic markers.
Rides along. Keeps you sharp.
Once you're rolling, Scout watches the trip — how long you've been driving, whether your range reaches the next stop, weather moving in, traffic — and speaks up only when it's worth it. A nudge to rest after hours at the wheel. A heads-up before fuel runs short. She knows silence is usually the right answer.
- Fatigue nudges after long stints
- Fuel-range projection to the next stop
- Weather and traffic ahead
- Restrained by design — never chatty
Riding shotgun
Speaks up only when it matters.
“You've been at the wheel 2h 40m. There's a rest stop in 8 miles — want it?”
Otherwise, Scout stays quiet — silence is usually the right call.
The small things that make her a partner.
Knows your truck
Plans bend to live data — low on fuel she routes to gas first; towing, she assumes worse mileage and refuels sooner; rain, snow or heat, she plays it safer and says so.
Boots at home
Scout starts every trip from your home base. “Take me to Cliff House” routes from your driveway, not a random pin.
Voice-first
Tap the sparkle and just talk. Scout speaks her plan aloud so your eyes stay on the road.
Your choice of model
Real reasoning, not canned replies — Scout runs on Groq, Google Gemini, or Claude with your own API key.
Honest about limits
Scout plans drives; she won't pretend. If she can't pin a stop or reach the service, she tells you plainly.
Four steps to a better trip.
Tell Scout where you're going
Say it or type it from the sparkle. She starts from your home base.
She plans the run
Route options, daily legs, fuel and food, and a place to sleep each night.
You pick the trip
Fast or scenic; camp or hotel. Your choices reshape the whole plan.
Hit the road
Scout rides along — keeping you fueled, rested, and on course to the end.
Surprise, AZ → the California coast.
About 750 miles, two days. Take the fast line — I-10 to I-5 with a free BLM dispersed camp near Mojave — or dip to the coast up CA-1 through Big Sur with a camp-or-motel night by the water. Along the way Scout calls a fuel stop before your range runs short, nudges you to rest after hours at the wheel, and flags the coastal fog rolling in.
Scout comes with every xOverland plan.
One subscription, the whole co-driver. Bring your own Groq, Gemini, or Claude key and Scout gets to work.
