4. What the Platform Does

GPSSquad provides AI assisted road trip planning tools, including itinerary generation, route mapping, collaborative trip planning, and related features. The Platform is a planning and organisational tool.

AI Generated Content Disclaimer

They are suggestions, not guarantees. GPSSquad does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any AI generated content.

You are solely responsible for verifying road conditions, checking current travel restrictions, confirming opening hours and availability of suggested stops, ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy, and complying with local traffic laws. Nothing on the Platform constitutes navigation advice, professional travel advice, or emergency guidance.

Do not rely on AI generated itineraries as your sole source of information for any journey.
