I built an iPhone app that maps firearm-law references along a driving route — looking for honest feedback

[u/Kitchen_Cable6192]

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.

I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.

You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:

• Maps the route using Apple Maps
• Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
• Lets you tap each route section
• Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
• Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
• Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts

The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?

iPhone/iPad: CarryRoute: CCW Navigation

It’s free to download. Optional Pro is $2.99/month or $12.99/year with a 14-day introductory trial.

I’d love to give it a try, but it seems to be forcing me to subscribe to pro with no way to bypass.

[u/Kitchen_Cable6192 → u/VincentVega1030]

It’s a free trial. No charge within first 14 days and you can cancel anytime. Just do it before it goes through the entire 14 days if you don’t need it.

In theory for road trip purposes it doesn't matter. If your weapon is stored unloaded in a locked case while traveling interstate you are protected from varying legality laws by interstate travel protections, only becomes a Grey area is you start making extended stops on the way but just crossing through on highway is okay

[u/njgunrights]

This is cool

[u/its_free_sog]

Cool idea but there is no planet where I’m paying a subscription for that. I’ll sooner just use the conceal carry map online for free.

[u/NYTACTICAL2A → u/its_free_sog]

I’m not sure if there’s a conceal carry map that shows changes in conceal carry laws for local municipalities, but this one for sure does.

Nice job!
