Rest Stops

How to Find a Rest Stop

Road trips and highway cruises are an exciting and quintessentially American pastime, which have come a long way since the era of paper maps and squinting at road signs to try and figure out which turn to take. Now, people rely on GPS, smartphones, and the internet to help them find their way, and many younger people can’t even imagine how we used to navigate before ubiquitous GPS mapping applications. 

However, there are still some basic functionalities missing in these apps. For example, the ability to find rest stops that have exactly the amenities you need, that are on your route, while simultaneously navigating. Before, you’d have to simply hope that the upcoming rest stop was close enough and had what you needed, but now you can use one app as an all-in-one, easy to use road trip mapper.  

Rest Stops Ahead

In the past, you would have to use multiple apps, outdated information, or rely on random chance to find the right rest stop. While GPS functions very well for navigation, it lacks information on amenities or rest stops, and planning a full route along with stops can be difficult. 

Rest Stops Ahead is a new, all-in-one, and highly intuitive app that makes your road trips easier, more efficient, and more pleasant for everyone. You’ll never have to worry about running out of gas, finding a bathroom, or finding a place to eat again – it’s all taken care of for you. 

Rest Stops Ahead is a point of interest (POI) locator specifically designed for the road traveler and average consumer. It’s easy to use and takes no skills or training, anyone can jump right in and figure it out instantly. Unlike other GPS navigators, it offers much more than simple mapping.

How Does It Work?

Rest Stops Ahead is the navigation app of the future, as it doesn’t rely on outdated or incorrect internet-sourced information. All the information is updated consistently, and is proprietary and accurate, giving you the unique ability to filter out rest stops that don’t have what you’re looking for. 

You’ll find everything you need to know in one location, like:

  • Inbound/outbound traffic directions and locations
  • Amount of traffic and how busy it is
  • Amenities offered like wifi, areas for pets, RV dumping spots, etc.
  • Options for food, whether that’s a picnic bench, gas station snacks, or a full meal
  • Distance from your destination and how far out of the way you’ll have to go

You’ll be able to plan and view your entire route before leaving, giving you unprecedented control over your road trips. Never again find yourself searching aimlessly along vast stretches of highway for somewhere to stop, now you’ll be able to know exactly where you’ll stop and how long it will take to get there and back. 

Benefits of Planning Ahead

If you’re worried about safety on the road or traveling alone, there’s no better way to ensure your safety than by planning ahead, mapping your route out, and making sure you only stop at areas with full amenities, good lighting, staff available, and other people around. Only Rest Stops Ahead gives you the ability to fully understand where you’ll be stopping and what to expect when you get there. 

Using this app to plan ahead saves you more than just time and effort, it saves gas and mileage on your car as well. Going out of your way to find rest stops, only for some of them to be closed or not offer the services you need, like RV dumping or fueling, wears you out, puts wear on your car, and increases overall costs for the trip by causing you to waste fuel.

There’s another smart reason to use this app, as all driving safety experts recommend taking a break while driving at least every two hours. It’s just not safe to drive for hours and hours, especially along interstates or highways, as you can become fatigued and zone out without even realizing it, leading to an increased risk of accidents.

Additionally, health and physiology experts point to an increased risk of blood clots from sitting too long, which rest stops help with. Take a brisk walk, do some stretches, or just stand up for a few minutes while driving, and you’ll notice both short-term and long-term health benefits compared to driving for hours and hours with no breaks.

Rest Stops Ahead helps you plan your route to make these essential stops, ensuring that you’re always refreshed, awake, and alert while driving.
