Latest reviews of Road Trip 66 app for iPhone and iPad
This does not appear to be a turn-by-turn 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 hotels/motels, 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 turn-by-turn navigation, but at $3.99, 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!
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.
I was interestedin doing a cross-country 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!
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 :-)
Just returned from driving most of the Mother Road (minus 100 miles) and the app was fabulous!
