For motorcycles and the cars that are meant to be driven. Tell us where you're going. We'll tell you the most fun way to get there.
Take South Grade Road up — it's the classic ascent, and the first time you ride it you'll want the climb, not the descent. 24 turns to the top.
Six blind uphill crests where you can't see the apex until you're committed. Four off-camber sections on the descent — easy to run wide. The two tightest are first-gear, no-momentum-needed corners about two-thirds up.
Surface is fresh top half, broken aprons in the lower switchbacks. Cell coverage drops past mile 4. If it's your first time, go up first, take a breath at the top, then decide whether to come back down or take East Grade out.
Most mapping apps optimize for time. We optimize for what makes a road worth driving in the first place.
We process OpenStreetMap data through custom curvature analysis tuned for performance driving and motorcycling — not delivery routes. Geometry, demand, surface, and exposure all factor in.
Weather, traffic, and timing get folded into the suggestion. Wet tarmac on a shaded descent matters. So does whether you'll make lunch.
The answer reads like a riding buddy briefing you on a road they've ridden a hundred times — corner counts, gear hints, where the surface goes bad. No turn-by-turn robot voice.
Same instinct, same kind of weekend. Same need for a tool that understands what you're actually trying to do.
Wendr knows surface conditions, shaded descents, and which way to run a loop based on traffic and time of day. Built first for SD County's classics — Palomar, Sunrise, Mt. Laguna, the back way to Julian.
Whether it's Sunday morning solo or a Cars and Coffee group run, Wendr suggests roads with the room and surface to actually use the car. Sightlines, pavement quality, and a route that earns the drive home.
We're launching in San Diego County first. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know the minute it's live — plus a heads-up on which county we add next.
Most route-finding tools treat every road like it's the same. Wendr doesn't. We've scored every road in San Diego County, then hand-checked the ones that matter.
These are the roads we built it for first. If you've ridden or driven any of them, you already know the kind of route Wendr is trying to find for you.
Wendr was built because the mapping app we wanted didn't exist. Strava is for athletes. Google Maps is for delivery drivers. Nothing was built for the actual experience of riding or driving for the love of it.
We're starting in San Diego County because we live here, ride here, and know the roads. The plan is to expand carefully, county by county, getting each one right before adding the next.
If you ride or drive in San Diego, we'd love your feedback before public launch. Join the waitlist and we'll be in touch.
Free for your first few routes. We'll send one email when Wendr opens up — no newsletter, no spam, no marketing fluff.
