Frequently asked questions

Short answers about Pit Stop, the road-trip exit guide.

What is Pit Stop?

A free iPhone + CarPlay app that shows what's at every upcoming interstate exit — gas, food, hotels, and must-see sights — before you get there. Merge onto any US interstate and it figures out the highway and direction from GPS. No route entry, no setup.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The entire database — 19,675 exits, 205,000+ places — ships inside the app, so it works with zero signal. That's most of the reason it exists: the places road trips go are exactly the places coverage dies.

How is it different from iExit?

Both answer "what's at the next exit." Pit Stop adds a full CarPlay app with voice search, a completely offline database, attraction highlights (castles, museums, national parks get a ♥ before you drive past), and it's free with no ads and an empty privacy label.

Does it have CarPlay?

Yes — one of the few exit guides with a real CarPlay app: Exits, Food, and Gas tabs on the dash, plus voice search ("Chipotle" → "Exit 29, 12 minutes"). Tapping a place hands navigation to Apple Maps.

Is it free? What's the catch?

Free, no ads, no account, no data collection. Location never leaves your phone. It's a solo-developer app built for the developer's own road trips first.

Android?

In closed beta on Google Play now — join the beta — and public soon.

Where does the data come from?

OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), processed into an exit-by-exit database. You can browse it free in our exit guides.
