The booking is out of your hands
Only the learner can book, move or cancel their own test now, and using unofficial tools to search the booking system is no longer allowed. A touchpoint you used to own has gone.
For UK approved driving instructors
Show them the roundabout
before they meet it.
Build the routes you already teach on, put a note on every junction that catches pupils out, then send one link. They watch the drive on their phone before the lesson, so the first time they see that roundabout is not from the driver's seat.
- No app for them to install, no account for them to create
- Works on any phone, and on the sat nav you already own
- Your notes travel with the route, so nothing gets forgotten between lessons
Free while it is in early access. If it gets a price it will be under £10 a month, and every route you build stays yours to export.

Test centre shopping is over
A test can only be moved to one of the three nearest centres. Nobody is driving two counties over for an easier route, which means the roads around their centre are the roads that count.
What you know about the roads around your centre is the asset. RoutePOV is somewhere to keep it, and a way to put it in front of a pupil between lessons.
Three steps
A route takes about two minutes, and you only build it once
Draw it on real roads
Drop pins where you would actually go. The line snaps to the road network, so the distance and the timing come out right without you measuring anything. Drag to reorder. Or drive the route once and let your phone record it while you do.
Put the teaching on the map
Eleven hazard categories, from tricky junction to level crossing, and your own words on every point. That sentence you repeat in the mirror at the same spot every week now lives on the route instead of in your head.
Hand it over in one link
Scan the QR in the car, or send the link to a pupil at home the night before. It opens on any phone, with nothing to install and nothing to sign into.
What your pupil gets
The lesson they cannot remember, on the phone they never put down
A pupil forgets most of a two-hour lesson by the weekend. What they get here is the same route, on their own time, with your words attached to the exact junction they went wrong at.
They can drive it as many times as they like
The route plays back along the real road path. Pause it, step between points, start again. Nothing about it is once-only, which is the whole difference from sitting beside you for an hour.
A voice calls the streets, your note does the teaching
The voice names each road as it comes up, in a British voice, and can be muted. Your note stays on screen instead, from twelve seconds before the junction until they are through it, so it can be read twice rather than half heard.
Or the view they will have on the day
A sat-nav mode gives two prompts per manoeuvre, one on approach with the distance and one at the junction, the way a real device does it. Useful for a pupil whose test centre uses one.
On whatever phone they already have
It opens in the browser. No app store, no download, no account, no password to reset at the worst possible moment.
We do not know where your pupil is, and we do not want to
The shared route never asks for their location and never reads it. The speed on screen is the speed of the playback, not the speed of their car. Most of your pupils are seventeen, and a parent is going to ask.
The bit nobody else handles
The parent taking them out on Sunday gets their own link
GOV.UK tells whoever supervises private practice to be guided by the instructor on what to practise and when the learner is ready. In practice nothing you say ever reaches them, and the hours they spend in the car between lessons are where your teaching either sticks or quietly comes apart.
Every route has a second link built for that person. No account, no drive simulation, nothing to work out. Something to read before they turn the key.
What the supervising driver sees
- The route you want them practising, drawn on the same roads
- Your notes on each point, so the practice reinforces the lesson instead of undoing it
- The legal conditions for supervising: 21 or over, full licence for three years, insured for it, L plates, no phone, no motorways

These are not DVSA test routes, and we will not pretend otherwise
DVSA stopped publishing test routes in 2010 and no official source has provided them since. So nobody selling “the actual routes for your centre” can substantiate it, and the pass-rate percentages advertised alongside those claims cannot be substantiated either.
What genuinely helps a pupil is time on the roads around their test centre with someone telling them which lane to be in at that one roundabout. That knowledge is yours, not ours, and it is worth more than a leaked list would be.
No lock-in
The routes are yours, and they leave with you
Every route exports as GPX
The road path as a track, your pins as a route, each note as a waypoint. It opens in any sat nav or mapping tool, including the one on your windscreen.
And imports back in
Bring in a GPX from a sat nav, a dashcam trace or a route planner and it arrives as editable pins, ready for your notes.
Shared links survive a bad day
The road path is stored with the route, so a link you sent last week still draws real roads even when the routing service is down.
Running a school or a franchise?
Around three in ten instructors work in a school rather than alone. A shared route library is how a new instructor learns your patch in their first week instead of their first term, and how every pupil at the same centre gets taught the same junctions the same way. Multi-instructor libraries are not built yet, so start an account and tell us what your team needs while there is still time to shape it.
Straight answers
Questions instructors ask first
Do my pupils need to download anything or make an account?
No. The link opens a web page. No app store, no sign-up, no password. If they can open a text message they can open the route.
Are these real DVSA test routes?
No, and be careful with anyone who says theirs are. The DVSA withdrew all published routes in 2010 and still withholds them. These are routes you build yourself on the roads around your centre, which is the part that actually helps.
Can you see where my pupil is driving?
No. The shared route never asks for their location and never reads it. The speed shown on screen is the speed of the playback. Only your own screens use location, and only when you choose to record a drive or centre the map.
What does it cost?
Nothing while it is in early access. If it gets a price it will be under £10 a month, well under what diary and payments software costs, and you will be told before anything changes.
What happens to my routes if I leave?
You export them. Every route downloads as a GPX file with the road path, the pins and your notes, and that file opens in any sat nav or mapping tool. Nothing is held hostage.
Does this replace my diary or booking software?
No, and it is not trying to. Diary, payments and syllabus tracking are already done well by other people. Not one of them has a route or a map feature, which is the gap this fills.
I am not confident with computers. Is this going to take an evening to learn?
Drop pins on a map, type a sentence on the awkward ones, press share. If you would rather not draw at all, drive the route once with your phone recording and it becomes a route you can annotate.
Your next pupil is testing at the centre you know better than anyone
Build one route this evening for the centre you teach at most. If it does not save you saying the same thing at the same junction next week, you have lost two minutes.
