2. What is Road
Trip?

3. It’s a “hack”
1. n. Originally, a quick job that produces what is
needed, but not well.
2. n. An incredibly good, and perhaps very timeconsuming, piece of work that produces exactly what
is needed.
3. vi. To interact with a computer in a playful and
exploratory rather than goal-directed way. “Whatcha
up to?” “Oh, just hacking.”
--The Jargon File v4.4.7

4. What is Road Trip?
It’s social

Chat updates are real-time

Invited friends/users can make helpful comments or edit the route
It’s a game

Unlabeled dots = mystery!
It’s a marketing and research tool
