Call in at a music shop on the way

A trip for strings, reeds or a cable is worth a small detour, not a big one, and only if the shop is open. Mini Detour finds a music shop on your route and shows what the stop costs.

Music shop: why the timing matters

Specialist music shops keep short hours and often close on Sundays and Mondays, so their timing matters. Mini Detour checks the hours against your arrival and flags a shop that would be shut.

Add a music shop to your plan with a realistic browsing window; Mini Detour ranks options by detour and keeps the downstream arrival times honest.

Open on arrival

Asking whether a shop is open now is the wrong question: Mini Detour checks the opening hours for the time you arrive and gives every result a clear verdict.

Questions

How does it find music shops?

It searches for music and instrument shops on your route using localized queries, then ranks them by the detour each adds.

What if the hours are unknown?

The shop still appears, marked hours-unknown, so you choose rather than have it hidden.
