What's in this Rest Stops Plus app: Thousands of Welcome centers, turn outs, service plazas, scenic vistas and rest areas in the USA and Canada broken down by heading. A detail view lists each rest stops amenities like restrooms, picnic tables, vending machines, pet-friendly, RV dump, handicap accessible, security and even wi-fi. You can now filter the map to see only the amenities you want. You’ve had it happen; you’re on a route that you don't know like the back of your hand yet. You were unfamiliar with that part of the road, so you get out your heavy books and maps to plan your next stop or you can fiddle with your GPS unit which is loaded with stuff you don't want. But the economy is causing states to close and re-open rest areas all the time. This app tries to stay current with news and user reports but there will be mistakes. You can submit corrections from each point. Rest Stops Plus has a unique filtering system. Only heading northbound and don't want to see southbound rest stops that you can't use? Only want ones with a RV Dump or Wifi? You can filter Rest Areas and Turnouts by the direction you are heading or select amenities! The Rest Stops Plus data is stored on your phone, so calling upon a website for information is not necessary. This is great for improving speed when you’re in rural areas or otherwise out of range for decent service. It integrates nicely with maps to display points of interest. Don’t take even one more trip without Rest Stops Plus. Download this app now for a more comfortable travel stop experience every time you travel. The biggest thing this app can't provide is whether they are clean.And if you want even more information, check out apps "Camp and RV" for RVers or "Truck and Travel" for truck drivers.
