We’re excited to announce that we’ve added a journey planner to the platform which will help travellers plan their journey with prayer stops pre-programmed into their route.

The initial launch uses our current locations for prayer rooms at service stations, prayer rooms at shopping centres as well as Mosques near these locations for Friday Jummah prayers. We’re working on adding lots more locations, so the journey planner will become better in time.

We’ve added some other little cool features as well. For example, our prayer room journey planner will let you know at which point you are officially classed as a Musafir. If you can’t find a prayer room on the way and decide to stop and pray outside, you can use our Qibla finder. And to add some extra help for our travellers, we’ve included a fuel cost calculator, weather along the route and a roadworks alert feature.

Here is a little video showing all the new features.

This is the first version, and we will be working on constantly improving and making this a vital tool for Muslim travellers in the UK.
