Truck Stops

Truck stops application contains five sections: truck stops, rest areas, walmarts, local, and misc. All sections except local are searchable by state, then highway, followed by exits on the selected highway. Walmart locations can also be searched by city in addition to highway. The local section provides an opportunity to find locations which are near your current location.

TRUCK STOPS
This section is currently listed by state, then highway, followed by exit. First, select the state. Second, select the highway. Then select the appropriate truck stop on that highway. From there, you will see all available information covering that particular truck stop. Information such as number of diesel pumps, number of showers, types of restaurants, availability of laundry, drivers lounge, and scale. Additionally, maps are available by clicking on the map button. In addition to the posted information about each particular stop, there are two features which allow users to post and share additional info. The first feature is a notes feature. With this feature, users are able to post public or private notes about the truck stop. If it is a public note, the note is made available to all andriod and iphone users. The second feature is a nearby feature where users can post places of interest which are near the truck stop.
