    If you have an iPhone or Andriod and traverse California quite frequently, you really need to download the CARR app. Out of all the road report apps, CARR is the complete package, road conditions, rest areas, chain law, and CA Highway Patrol reports, all in real time. There is a feature in the app that will let you know about CHP incidents and chain law as you're driving if they are on your route. It's for the awesome price of free and you can get it in your App Store or playstore. The only thing missing is traffic cameras and truck stops but it's not really "trucker made", it's not going to give you routing, but information you may want to have if your in California.

    I downloaded it. It sucks for me, because;

    1. The interstate highways are located at the bottom of the list below all the state highways & US highways.

    2. It shows rest areas, but doesn't show if the rest area is open or closed.

    3. It's difficult to select an individual camera to view.

    4. Every time I try to select a camera or get conditions for a specific highway the app shuts down.

    you must be using android. I'm using iOS and works very well, and there's no cameras on mine, rest areas show green or red indicating if they're open or closed.
