Plan a Windhoek to Swakopmund drive
Build an outbound plan, mark a fuel stop and share a pin your group can use.
Build the route in two parts
Search for your actual departure address in Windhoek and your accommodation or meeting point in Swakopmund. Start by comparing a route through Okahandja, Karibib and Usakos with the route the map selects automatically. Zoom in near each end to confirm the access road and the side of town your destination is on.
Choose your stops before leaving
Mark one fuel or food stop on your outbound route and a second option farther along. Put both in your plan so you can change stops without rebuilding the trip. Use the estimated drive time as one part of the schedule, then add time for your planned stops and arrival.
Give the group an exact meeting point
Share a pin for the entrance or parking area along with the venue name. Ask the recipient to open it and check the map before setting off. For example, send “Meet at the parking entrance” and the pin. If you plan to split up in town, agree on a second meeting point beforehand.
Keep a copy you can refer to
Write down the major towns, the street address at your destination and the accommodation contact. Save these alongside the pins and check they are available before relying on them during the drive.
