GTGO directs drivers to scenic, technically engaging roads
Guides drivers along curated scenic and technically engaging roads, prioritizing driving pleasure over fastest routing; it routes you to and through entire roads rather than just a destination. GTGO, from CAR OWNERS CLUB, INC., combines a proprietary GT Score and a catalog of thousands of routes to help automotive enthusiasts and motorcyclists discover driveable roads. Key functions include road scoring, visual map overlays, automatic drive logging, and social route sharing, aimed at recreational drivers and sports-car owners.
What it does for recreational driving
GTGO maps driving as an experience by routing users to the start of a curated road and guiding them along its full length, rather than selecting the fastest path. The app's catalog of thousands of roads and its road-specific navigation mean a user can plan a route defined by scenic or technical character instead of arrival time. Automatic drive logging records completed cataloged roads for a historical trace of driven routes.
How it defines and scores road quality
The GT Score quantifies driving enjoyment using measurable road attributes: corners per kilometer, elevation changes, and road width. The developer applies that model across its catalog to rank roads by technicality and pleasure, and the app overlays road color coding on maps to show width and character, helping drivers select routes with known handling challenges.
Compatibility, social features, and practical limits
The app runs on Android devices and requires GPS, and it also provides iOS support according to the documentation. Social sharing exports an entire route as a single web link, and friends can see real-time positions with mutual consent. The road database is most complete in specific regions such as Japan, which affects how many curated roads a user finds in other areas.
Who should use GTGO and what to watch for
GTGO suits driving enthusiasts who want routes chosen for handling and scenery rather than speed; its GT Score and route catalog match that aim. Users outside the developer's most covered regions should expect fewer curated roads, and drivers are responsible for ensuring their use complies with platform terms and local rules. For planners, set routes in advance to make the most of the app's road-centric guidance.
