Excellent App
I just completed the St. Louis to Las Vegas, NM leg, having done the Chicago to St. Louis leg last year.
I was using Jerry McClanahan’s excellent comb-bound book, which is indispensable, but would need to pull off to read directions and wade through things that didn’t interest me (Giant Alerts, for example).
This app makes it easy to navigate from city to city. The key with Route 66 is to traverse it with eyes open and don’t miss the ruins that are sprinkled along the route. There are many instances where you can drive the original road.
In Oklahoma City, I got turned around trying to follow the signs for the original alignment. This app was my saving grace as I used it to navigate to a featured landmark and regroup.
Well worth the money, in my book. The developer was engaged and responsive as they learned about changes along the route.

Must Have App for Rt 66!
We were looking for an app to help navigate Rt 66. This was just what we needed. Being able to connect with Apple maps was extremely helpful. There were so many interesting stops listed that we would have missed otherwise.
Very easy to use! Thanks for putting this together.

GREAT LOCATION INFORMATION PROVIDED
I just started getting familiar with this new Route 66 APP and was EXCITED with the level of history and background details provided for each location. We just stopped at one and I provided a correction to the developer who IMMEDIATELY responded to make the update. I was IMPRESSED with his passion for Route 66 and desire to immediately make improvements. Kudos for that effort!
