PastPort

PastPort turns any location into a self-guided historical road trip. The app detects users' current location and generates curated driving routes that connect real historical sites and events, blending storytelling about "what happened here" with turn-by-turn navigation. Users discover both past events and current happenings like reenactments and museum exhibits for a layered tour experience. Buyers can clone a fully functional tour marketplace where users pay per tour (tiered by length and complexity) and gain lifetime access to that route.
