Say Hello to This Week’s Sponsor: iExit
I’d like to thank this week’s sponsor, iExit, a great travel app that I’ve personally used for years. Available for iOS and Android, iExit is a driver’s best friend; the app automatically calculates your position on all major U.S. highways and tells you what’s available at upcoming exits and rest stops. Whether you want to know where the next family friendly restaurant is, find a rest stop with a playground for the kids, locate the nearest diesel or alternative fuel station, or figure out the number of miles to the next restroom, iExit is there to help.
iExit also works in “planning” mode, letting you browse exits along a predetermined route before you even leave the house, ensuring that you’ll know ahead of time exactly when and where to stop. Other bits of useful information that iExit provides include lists of restaurants and rest stops with public Wi-Fi, hotels currently offering discounted rates, overnight truck parking areas, and the ability to search for popular road trip stops such as Cracker Barrel, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and more.
iExit is available right now for free at the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. If you have even a small road trip coming up, be sure to check it out! As I said, I’ve been using iExit personally since before TekRevue even launched, and I wouldn’t even consider leaving town without the app loaded and ready to go on my smartphone or tablet.
