Fresh, Current Routes

Roadworks, new signals, and diversions can alter the path examiners use. Our routes aren’t fixed - they adapt with the changes.

A Three-Step Program

  1. Track - We monitor driving test activity and collect GPS data from real tests.

  2. Verify - Feedback from learners and instructors helps confirm any changes.

  3. Refresh - Updates are rolled into the app so you always see the current version.

Why It Matters

Practicing on outdated paths can leave you unprepared. By using current Kansas routes, you’ll train on the same roads you’ll face on test day.
