Live route map

Compare crossings before you commit.

See the route context for supported crossings in one view, then include border waits when they help you compare the options. You decide whether to change the plan.

  • Compare supported crossings and lanes on one map
  • Keep route context visible alongside available border waits

Crossing Plan + Line Watch

Plan the crossing. Let Line Watch keep checking.

Crossing Plan works backward from your arrival target to estimate when to leave. Line Watch keeps checking the wait threshold you choose and lets you know when the current line reaches it.

  • Keep the arrival target, route, wait, and planning range together
  • Monitor your chosen threshold without repeatedly checking the line

Live wait times

See your line before you leave.

Compare the latest available waits by supported lane, with the source and status kept visible. Closed and unavailable conditions stay distinct from a numeric wait.

  • Compare supported lanes at Otay Mesa and San Ysidro
  • Source labels and timestamps help you judge freshness

Best Crossing Times · Premium

Know when the border tends to run better.

Historical patterns can help you choose a better time to go. The app shows the usual range and how much recent history supports each hour, but it does not forecast the next wait.

  • A full-day pattern with hourly wait ranges
  • Confidence reflects the history behind each hour
