Free features

Everything here works without a subscription.

Getting started: the Drive screen

Berth opens on the Drive tab: a map centered on you, with search at the top and the tab bar at the bottom (Drive, Home, You).

  1. Tap Where to? and type an address or a place name. Pick a result to see routes, then tap Go.
  2. The Home button in the tab bar routes you home in one tap once you've set your home address.
  3. The AI Route Optimizer card on the map is the shortcut for multi-stop days. It's a Berth Pro feature, so without Pro it shows a Pro tag and opens the upgrade screen (see Berth Pro features below).
  4. Tap the map once to recenter on yourself; the arrow button brings back follow mode while driving.

Tip: While you navigate, the banner shows your next turn and the street, city and ZIP you're on.

Tip: If the app closes or updates mid-drive, just open it again. Your trip picks back up where you left off.
