You're hungry, the tank is low, and the next big green sign is a mystery. Pit Stop shows the gas, food, stays, rest areas, and must‑see sights at every exit ahead — rated by real road‑trippers, working with zero signal. Then it lets the whole car vote on dinner and navigates to the winner.
Every mile of the US interstate system — bundled on your phone, so it works where cell service doesn't.
Open the app on any highway in America. Pit Stop figures out which interstate you're on, which direction you're headed, and lines up everything at the exits ahead — sorted by when you'll reach them.
No route to enter, no destination needed. GPS finds your highway and direction; the exits ahead just appear.
Filter to Food and every exit becomes a blue logo board — the brands you know, laid out like the signs on the roadside.
Type any craving or brand and see the next five exits that have it, with miles, minutes, and distance off the ramp.
Real roadside wonders — castles, museums, national parks — get a heart so you never drive past something great.
The entire exit database ships inside the app. Rural Wyoming, the Smokies, dead zones — it all still works.
Full CarPlay app: exits ahead on the car screen, tap one for details, tap a place and Apple Maps takes you in.
Rest stops and service plazas appear between exits at their real mile markers — blue cards, just like the signs.
Drivers rate gas stations for selection, restrooms, and safety — so you know which stop to trust before the ramp.
Seven games, from Over/Under to Exit Bingo to Cow Collector — passengers play on their own phones, no app needed.
Real screens, real exits — this is I-75 north of Cincinnati, exactly as Pit Stop sees it.
Every exit app stops at the interstates. Pit Stop now covers America's storied two-lanes too — the same live "what's ahead" view, with towns as the stops and real mile markers.
The whole East Coast, 2,200+ miles: the Overseas Highway, the Carolinas, coastal New England, all the way to the top of Maine. 435 towns mapped.
Dana Point to Leggett through Malibu, Big Sur, Carmel and Mendocino. Every town, every cliffside inn, and where the gas actually is.
The road Florida drove before the interstates, from Miami through Sebring and Ocala, north to Cincinnati and Fort Wayne.
One tap. We build the winner next.
Pit Stop is an Apple-approved CarPlay driving app. The next exits live on your car's screen; one tap hands navigation to Apple Maps. No phone-fumbling at 70 mph.
Every exit ahead with real gas, food, hotels & sights · rest areas at true mile markers · comfort badges (24/7 travel centers, open-late, busy exits) · must-see ♥ detours · voice search: "where's the next Chipotle?"
Community stars for selection, restrooms & safety · tap-to-call any place before you commit · Dinner Draft: the car votes on every restaurant ahead, Pit Stop navigates to the winner · works with zero signal, everywhere.
Seven games on one trip-long scoreboard — Over/Under, Exit Bingo, License Plates, Dinner Draft, Mile Marker Showdown, 20th Car, Cow Collector · passengers join from any phone, even in a second car · CarPlay keeps the driver in the loop, hands-free.
Pit Stop turns the drive into the game. The driver's phone hosts; everyone else joins from their own phone at play.pit-stop-app.com — no app, no accounts, just a 5-letter room code. The driver plays by ear.
Pit Stop deals every restaurant coming up in the next half hour, deduped, as one big tappable menu. Everyone marks what they'd be happy with from their own phone; the most-wanted spot wins, and the driver taps once to navigate straight to it. No more "I don't know, what do YOU want?" at 70 mph.
"More or fewer than 6 places to eat at Exit 29?" Everyone locks in a guess — and the answer reveals the moment you drive past the exit. The road itself runs the game.
Every player gets a card dealt from the road actually ahead — the gas signs, the diners, the rest areas coming up — plus classics like water towers and out-of-state plates. Five in a row wins.
The classic, kept honest: the whole car hunts all 50 states together, first spotter claims each one, and the scoreboard runs all trip. Milestone celebrations included.
"How many minutes to mile marker 120?" Lock a guess, then sweat it out — closest wins when the GPS says you crossed it.
Bet the color of the 20th oncoming car, then count them down out loud. White pays +2 — but call purple and hit it, and that's +10. Gambling for children, in the best way.
Grow your herd: cow on a sign +1, real cows +2. But Pit Stop knows the location of all 4,644 cemeteries visible from US interstates — pass one for real, and a burial window opens on every phone. First tap wipes every other herd to zero. No fake cemeteries, no mercy.
Rooms work across cars. Two-car caravan to the beach? Grandma's crew can join the same room from the other car and compete the whole way down.
Every game feeds the same trip-long scoreboard, so the family champion is settled by the time you arrive. Rooms vanish after the drive; first names only.
20th Car and Cow Collector started as house rules from real road-trip parents. Got a game your car swears by? Tell us — the best ones get built.
Hi, I'm Jake. I have five kids: a 12 year old who plays travel hockey and soccer, three girls who are 10, 6, and 4 and deep in the competitive cheer world, and a 10 month old who is just along for the ride. Between tournaments, competitions, and regular family trips, we put about 30,000 miles a year on the road.
Pit Stop exists because I was tired of guessing what was at the next exit with a van full of kids. Which exit has a playground so everyone can run for twenty minutes. Where the food is more than a gas station hot dog. When the next real stop is 80 miles out and you'd better take this one. I built the app we needed in our own front seat, and it turns out a lot of other families needed it too.
Pit Stop is live on the App Store — $2 once, no subscription, works offline, and rides along on CarPlay.
