4Tap a stop for its card

Tap a purple pin to open its card. You will see a photo if we have one. You will see the name, the town and how long it has been open. It says what people go there for, most often a dish. It shows the road it is on, so you know if it is on your way. The date at the bottom is when we last checked it.

Good to know

We picked all 49 places by hand, one at a time. They are not from a list of every cafe. Each one is a simple place that people know well. Each one is on a good road to drive. They are in 28 states, so some long roads have none. The card does not show opening hours. Some places open only a few hours a day, or for part of the year. Check before you drive a long way to one.

Also in the app: maps that work with no signal, campgrounds and free sites, and Plan with AI. It plans routes for eight kinds of vehicle, from an enduro bike to a 40-foot RV.
