Rest Stops Plus

I recently went on a long road trip, and was looking to avoid sleeping in hotels. I wanted an app that would show me where all of the rest areas were, so that I could plan out my sleep stops in advance. This app seemed to be rated the highest amongst competing apps, so I went for it. While it is helpful to a degree, it doesn’t come even close to listing ALL rest areas. It lists only those on major 4 lane US interstates. Rest areas on 2 lane state highways are ignored. So, for me, that largely defeated the purpose of using the app as I wasn’t looking to drive unnecessarily far to find a place to sleep. But, had I relied exclusively on this app, that’s exactly what would have happened. There was more than one instance where the nearest rest area shown in my vicinity was 50+ minutes of driving. In reality, there where rest areas on state highways within 15 or 20 minutes away.

For anybody who finds themselves on the road for business, or even taking vacations, this app will be very helpful. It's very detailed and includes all parts of the US. I've sent it to everyone I know who are commercial drivers and have heard nothing but good things.

This app is great! With a long road trip during COVID, we’re avoiding going inside gas station stores to use the restroom. Rest stops aren’t as busy & are usually larger & airier, so there’s less COVID exposure. This app gives exact directions & updates on closures etc. When I sent an update email about one rest stop through the app, I received an response within an hour or so. Very impressed. Thank you! You may be keeping our family (with high risk people) healthy.
