About Us
MAD Maps is not your mother's map app. If you're just plain looking for the fastest way from A to B, forget it. We're all about finding the most scenic route with the most unusual and unique attractions. From rock 'n' roll roadhouses to rubber band museums, we've scouted the stuff that makes getting there so much fun. And with over 1000 trips around this great country, you'll never run out of places to explore.
How We Started
Jenny Lefferts, President and Founder of MAD Maps, has been a motorcycle and back roads enthusiast for years although her passion began long before she was licensed to ride. Her dad's idea of a summer vacation was to load up the family in the '72 VW bus and take to the road. Jenny moved to San Francisco in 1987 and purchased her first motorcycle. She was instantly hooked and began searching the Bay Area for the best scenic roads: the seed for MAD MAPS was planted.
Where We're Headed
MAD MAPS maintains more rich, up-to-date, content than we can print and is now delivering our trademark scenic tours through cutting-edge digital platforms, providing consumers with new options for an enhanced and memorable travel experience. Our data set includes shapefiles (.SHP) of all routes, packaged with geo-coded Points of Interest (POIs) with key information and detailed narratives.
