The Ultimate Road Trip Companion 

RoadAhead Plans Out Your Food And Rest Stops 

So imagine being on a road trip and you need to stop but you arent quite sure what's ahead.  We've all had the "do I stop here or wait until the next rest stop" dilemma before.  Well, RoadAhead is here to solve that problem.  

RoadAhead, a smartphone app, will show you exactly what types of services are available at coming rest stops and even how far the stop will take you off you path.  Doesn't that seem just unbelievably handy? 

"Some GPS units and apps will show you what's beyond that as well. But nothing I've seen yet is as dialed in to the road-tripper's dilemma," said CNet car blogger Rafe Needleman.  

RoadAhead offers you much deeper customization than any GPS system or roadside sign can offer you.  Let's say you have kids in the car and you need a place with food, gas AND a playground.  RoadAhead will tell you which services are available and where.

Best part is that unlike other apps, RoadAhead will never backtrack.  The next exit on the freeway is always at the top, with each service in the categories you want listed. You can click through to call a business or get a Google Map route to it.

Clearly, it's much safer to have a passenger operate the RoadAhead app.
