A quick tobacconist stop on your route

A tobacconist is a very quick stop that only makes sense if it's on the way and open when you arrive. Mini Detour finds one along your route and keeps the detour tiny.

Tobacconist: why the timing matters

Tobacconists keep their own hours and close earlier than you'd expect on quiet days, so a quick check saves a wasted turn. Mini Detour compares each one's hours to your arrival and flags a closed stop.

Tobacconist: how Mini Detour plans the stop

Add a tobacconist to your plan with its short dwell, and Mini Detour ranks the options by detour. Each shows whether it's open when you'll get there.

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

Why plan such a short stop?

Because even a five-minute errand isn't worth a fifteen-minute detour. Mini Detour shows the trade-off so you can keep it small.

Does it check opening hours?

Yes, where they're published — and it flags rather than hides a tobacconist that would already be closed.
