Plot it yourself
Click through the route instead of passively following somebody else's answer.
Stop just watching route answers. Plot London routes yourself, submit your attempt and get automatic scoring and feedback. Practise full routes, road closures, one-way roads, tunnels, bridges and focused route-planning skills for 90 days.
The skill is making decisions yourself. PCO Topography puts the map in front of you and makes you choose every road, junction and direction before seeing your result.
Click through the route instead of passively following somebody else's answer.
Submit your attempt and receive automatic route scoring without sending screenshots to a tutor.
Use your 90-day access to practise weak areas again instead of paying by the hour.
Closures, one-way roads, tunnels, bridges, junctions and focused drills are built into the bank.
You do not need to know a route name and you do not need to register just to see the trainer. Open one complete interactive practice route, plot it yourself and see how the system works.

PCO Topography is designed for private hire applicants preparing for the TfL Topographical Assessment. The trainer focuses on interactive route plotting rather than turning route planning into a reading exercise.
