There wasn t much description of this app when I downloaded it but for 3 I took a chance The app has profiles of about 100 points of interest along Rte 66 in 8 states IL MO KS OK TX NM AZ and CA Each includes a photo and a description most of the ones I checked are copied verbatim from Wikipedia with the source cited There is also a link to the website for the place and a link to GPS However the GPS is standard it won t follow Rte 66 if there s a faster way via the interstate which is what I was looking for in an app There is also an interactive map that has a line tracing Route 66 with flags that open photos of the places of interest covered in the app You can zoom in and out and turn the map However the road names along Route 66 change particularly in large towns and cities Not only is there no information on these name changes the line on the map often obscures these alternate names and I think it would be difficult to use on a smartphone screen especially while driving As a reference and overview of notable sites along Route 66 this app might be worthwhile at this price point But If you re planning a Route 66 trip I d recommend spending a bit more and buying the guidebook published by Moon Route 66 Road Trip by Candace Taylor It includes a lot more sites maps and step by step directions on following the Route 66         A book would be better ChrisE18

Much improved since the recent update                 Very useful Juliet16000

Terrible Should be a 99 cent app         Eddie Ex ed

Did searches to find an app to help plan a Route 66 end to end starting in Chicago to Santa Monica This app doesn t even recognize any location in Chicago it mostly has various points of interest along the way You can t open the map to see how this app takes you across Route 66 another 99 app at least lets you see their map with the entire route The other app also has points makes at the start of Route 66 along the entire route to describe alternatives We can t map the route and plan our trip with this app It only took 7 minutes of attempts after purchasing this app to realize 2 99 was wasted     Don t Purchase Ssquard

My fianc and I purchased the app to take the historic route from St Louis to Chicago To start out with the app lacks the desired locations we wanted to stop at throughout Illinois Plus it didn t even have any stops in Chicago The app got us halfway up Illinois and then had nothing You cannot navigate the map without having a desired location So pretty much half way throughout the trip we were screwed The app s navigation is terrible as well If you travel at fast speeds it cannot keep up and it crashes It also does not reroute you if you take a different turn It was a very disappointing purchase We were hoping it d make our trip easier but it frustrated us Plus it was a wasted 3 Don t do it     Where in the World Are We Chill1580

I don t understand why I can t start in Chicago I can only initiate a map in the Bloomington normal area of Illinois which is halfway down state             Incomplete Robert Pall

Took me right to what I wanted to see The navigation feature works great and makes it easy to get where you want to go                 Better than a map MeMah6345

Was an easy way to find lots of weird roadside attractions Worth a download                 Cool App Rahrah8668
