Road Trip 66

This app is just a list of all the places in the guidebooks overlaid on a basic Google map It does not provide navigational guidance and the scale when you zoom to your current location is too wide making the map hard to browse Restaurants and motels are lumped into the same pushpin category and all attractions are lumped into one category so its hard to declutter the map Many of the roadside attractions in the CA and AZ segments are just ruins Still for 99c it will get you started in place of a guidebook but you can supplement your trip with a navigation app and online reviews You can call the places directly from the phone numbers in the app        OK I guess

This is what I was looking for It has detailed maps of the route shows upcoming historical sites and I never have to leave the application to switch between these features Though Ive traveled Rt 66 many times I still found new sites with this app Great app great execution Thank you                 Great Route 66 App

This map is great but does it use a GPS and give you guided driving instructions           GPS

Near perfect nice if it was formatted for iPad The first time we took The Road we used the ring bound bible which worked but required a real navigator to pay attention This time we took the book and this newfangled app as a backupwe never looked at the books My 22 year old son navigated he had trouble with the book last time this time the app worked much better for him An added bonus was the GPS feature we could tell where we were Since this was our second trip we bypassed some of the city routes like Albuquerque Once past the city the app let us see where to go to get back on The Road It works without wifi or cell coverage relying on GPS to operate if your iPad or iPhone has GPS which most of the new ones do The only shortcoming of no cell coverage was it couldnt download pictures of sites along the way but the was no biggie the ample descriptions were still there You can even report changes to the route that you observe like closed bridges to warn others and get prompt responses from the publisher Highly recommend this to anyone Road newbie or veteran Kevin E                 Exceeded Expectations

WTHthis update wiped out all my wanna go and seen it tags It took me hours to set it all up an its all gone UPDATE 710 Heard from developer and they seemed to have fixed the issue Although it appears my data is gone Very helpful and responsive to my comment on their website Still mad at the loss of my data but Ive upgraded the rating to 4 for the great service              Do NOT UPDATE deleted all my saved data

No we are not the makers of this productwe are actual customers who used this for a Route 66 road trip It was awesome It really helped us find places specific to our Route 66 trip that we wouldve never found by just driving through We saw a bunch of historic sites and even met people who were part of the making of the movie Cars in their hometown It was a quick and easytouse app while driving through for the passenger of course Lots of good information provided so we could determine where we wanted to stop or not which saved time for our vacation Also the info was not only useful and informative but had a comedic value too Maps were spoton We would definitely use it again 5 stars Props to this app makerthanks                 We Used This

We recently made the trip and this app beat out all the other books maps etc that we had We would have been lost without it I highly recommend it Great information and easy to use                 Owner

Would LOVE an Update Some things listed on the app that were not where they should have been Henrys Rabbit Ranch in IL and Shoe Tree in OK I found this app from a conversation I had about Route 66 on another website After checking it out and seeing the very small amount of reviews I decided to take a chance I am happy that I did This app has so much more info than I ever thought so much more than I have been able to find so far Excellent job There is only one small change I would like to see Once I tag something as Wanna see it I think it would be cool if it could make my list of wanna see its into its own map or even create a new color code for those push pins so that I could see where my wanna see its are in relation to the rest of everything else This way I could either follow the route to see what I am most interested in or bookmark them in a way that I will be able to see them on the map as I go It would help so that there wasnt so much flipping back and forth between screens and if I didnt have to type in all my sites into a map directory for printing Other than that this app is awesome lots of info great pics Is there an HD version for iPad coming                 Must have for any Route 66 traveler

Update Im currently ON my Route 66 Trip and on my first day in Illinois I realized how truly amazing this app is It immediately proved to be invaluable its saved me so much time and effort to literally be able to see how close I am to a point if interest especially a hard to find one is a Godsend Ive saved so much time by not having to dig through my books every 5 minutes for what I want to see next Thank you SO much for creating this app its invaluable and instantly enriched my trip experience 100fold Ive had this app for over a year now and have been using it to help create my itinerary for an upcoming October 2013 trip This app has been beyond helpful in my research and planning I cant thank the developers enough Cant wait to put this to use on my trip D                 LOVE this App

Many of the maps show incorrect locations and even in a quick review I found inaccurate information I sent the developer a correction for one mistake over a year ago and it has never been corrected Only good as a very rough guide Make sure to do your own research rather than relying on this app I would not spend the on this app again        Inaccurate

Driving Rt 66 right now using this app The map feature with the route highlighted is great Id say only about 70 of the points of interest are in the accurate location Thats the only thing I would improve              Must have

its a little buggy crashing when opened Once you launch it successfully keep it open One feature suggestion in the list view let the user organize the from current location easteard or westward Currently it lists attractions by distance but in either direction           Cool but

The app has done what it said it would do Getting ready for a road trip on Route 66 and I am using this app to mark locations to stop and see I am looking forward to using this app on the road Thanks for all the great info in one place                 A great app for info and locations

Just completed the West to East route this app was an invaluable tool The roots was easy to follow and the pins marking the sights were extremely helpful Only cons there are no easy directions listed you just have to follow the dot on the map Also it would be nice if the back buttons appeared on the info screens for the pins in addition to the image screens                 Couldnt have done the drive without it

This does not appear to be a turnbyturn app But thats not what I expected it to be Rather it is a very comprehensive guide to the multitude of points of interest and attractions located along famed Route 66 Everything from hotelsmotels restaurants kitschy art objects famous gas stations and more The level of detail is enough to fill a book yet the information and mapping is all laid out in a logical and extremely useful fashion It seems the developers have thought of just about everything They even include a red line along the map showing you the route to take to stay on the original Mother Road again it is not turnbyturn navigation but at 399 I wouldnt expect it to be Ive traveled much of Route 66 over the past 3 years A group of us are planning a big road trip to do all of Route 66 from Chicago to LA this year This app will be an invaluable aid for that trip I own multiple books on Route 66 and treasure them all But this app will take up zero room in the glove box and it is a lot more convenient to use than a book Two big thumbs up from me                 Fantastic App Every Route 66 fantraveler should consider this app

Help button leads to a broken link App gripes at you when it cant locate you but doesnt give you any clear instructions on how to fix this Good idea but cant take advantage of all features due to poor documentation        Not what it could be

I used this app for research as well as my GPS I took a trip on Route 66 for the Texas and Oklahoma part I was able to map out my trip before hand My inspiration for my trip came from a brochure from Oklahoma but the use of this app showed me where so many more treasures were The owner of this app responds to any questions you have promptly Thank you for helping me make this memorable trip                 TexasOklahoma

A few things were out of date or in the slightly wrong place but thats the nature of any travel app especially on a road like 66 where everything is constantly changing Its also very easy to alert the app of changes if you see anything missing on the road I couldnt have done my Route 66 trip without this app I had a ton of other maps and guides but almost never used them                 Great App

I have a ton of Route 66 books websites but this app works directly with GPS so it keeps track of where you want to go where youve been Lots of photos and info I cant wait to try it on the road in just a few weeks                 EXACTLY what I wanted

This app has taken all Route 66 data from all sources and consolidated it into one easy to use mapbased app It has all of the alignments of Route 66 new old Ozark Trail in a Google maps type interface And it has full information on all of the attractions history etc a LOT of content And it has many lesserknown and just off the route attractions Very cool Out of the 200 or so attractions I visited maybe 5 were incorrectly placed on the map Even then the marker was close enough that you could find the place In my opinion this app makes all other Route 66 books guides maps etc obsolete Awesome app                 Awesome app should be 10

Application navigation is defective Look at the map and there are plenty of great things to see Press to sett the details about them and there is useful information Returning back to the map seems to be confusing for the software usually brings up a world map This app wont work on a device not connected to net and is very unreliable for one that is If they fix the app navigation this will be a 4 star app        Good Idea but still needs work

We drove the full Route 66 and this app was a great help more than once It contains a lot of mustsee roadside attractions that you wont necessarily find in a book Absolutely worth the money Thank you                 Awesome app

Just returned from driving most of the Mother Road minus 100 miles and the app was fabulous                 Thank you

This is a truly an outstanding app I drove the entire route using only this application It is loaded with suggestion on things to do and see but more importantly it is the closest thing you will find to a GPS turn by turn                 Traveler1

I was interestedin doing a crosscountry trip from LA to Chicago This ap is perfect to find remnants of the old route 66 along with tidbits of info along the way Thanks for publishing this                 Exactly what I was looking for
