Coming soon
The ones you choose, and only when the detour is worth it. Before you leave, you know every tunnel on your route. On the road, no reroute will ever send you back into one.
+6 min to avoid 2.6 mi of tunnel
Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps: none of them lets you avoid tunnels.
12% of drivers surveyed in a Swedish study would avoid a tunnel, even if it meant a longer trip. 23% when the tunnel runs under water.
It isn’t rare, and it isn’t a whim. It’s a need nobody has taken seriously.
NoTunnel relies on OpenStreetMap to know every tunnel, from a short underpass beneath a railway to the great Alpine bores.
So far in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and California. More regions will follow before launch.
Pick a setting, Relaxed, Balanced or Strict, then fine-tune it if you like. A short underpass no longer triggers an absurd detour.
Every route shows its tunnels, their length and the time they cost you. You decide with all the facts: +6 min to avoid 2.6 miles of tunnel?
If you leave the route, the new one still follows your choices. And when a tunnel is coming up, you’re warned before the last exit, not at its entrance.
Not all tunnels are alike: a few seconds under a bridge is nothing like crossing a mountain. Say how far you’re willing to go, and NoTunnel takes care of the rest.
The sweet spot: tunnels over 1,640 ft are avoided whenever the detour stays reasonable. Shorter ones are accepted.
Turn on JavaScript to try the settings.
1.6 mi tunnel past this exit. Leave here to avoid it: +7 min.
If a tunnel is coming up on your route, the app warns you in time to take another exit.
Valleys, islands, rivers: when there is no other way, you know as soon as you search, with the length and duration of the passage.
Near a tunnel, the screen simplifies: length, duration, countdown to the exit.
Optimized for Europe and North America. In English or French, in miles or kilometers.
The tunnel under the river, always avoided. The one on your commute, always accepted.
The dread starts long before the wheel. NoTunnel shows every tunnel while you plan, and nothing changes on the road without warning.
Propane, height, size: some tunnels are off limits to you. Note them once, NoTunnel keeps them off every route, at home and abroad.

NoTunnel isn’t available yet. Here is the road to launch.
Road tunnels rebuilt from OpenStreetMap, region by region.
Lengths checked and errors fixed before computing a single route.
The engine that weighs each tunnel and respects your detour budget.
Open first to people on the list, to fine-tune the app with you.
In your browser first, then on mobile.
Because most “tunnels” on a map are short underpasses beneath a road or a railway. Avoiding them all makes the trip longer for no reason. You choose from what length a tunnel counts, how much detour you accept, and which ones to always avoid or always allow.
The app tells you as soon as you search, instead of pretending the impossible. You know its length and how long you’ll spend inside in advance, and the screen simplifies as you approach.
Pricing will be shared with the list before launch.
Anywhere OpenStreetMap data allows, with a service optimized for Europe and North America. The interface is in English and French, in miles or kilometers.
It is used only to send you news about the project. It is handled by Brevo, a service hosted in the European Union, and never sold. Every email has an unsubscribe link. Your optional answers help us understand your needs.
We don’t have a date yet: we’d rather ship a reliable app than a rushed one. People on the list will hear first and get priority access to the beta.
