    I did the same in NY.

    Driving along at night and glance at a sign about 100 feet from a bridge... 12'6" Clearance.
    I slam on the brakes.
    My 13'6' trailer had at least 8 inches of room.

    i use it, must be why i always find parking and avoid the small crapholes, you can get a good idea of a place with the reviews, if 10 drivers say its a cluster its usually a cluster, and you can usually tell by zooming in on the parking lot sat images, same with rest areas, so your not one of those guys parked on the ramp when theres 30 spots at the end, also what the restroom situation is like

    I guess your just smarter than everyone else?
    By the way do you get a cramp in your arm when your patting yourself on the back?

    A lot of reviews are useless, but you can usually tell if a stop is a crime scene or a new store based on reviews. If the reviews are a bunch of name calling, the stop is probably OK to medium. If it's bad you'll know. Same if its good.

    It will show number of parking spots, showers, laundry, faxes, etc. It'sreally good for drivers headed to a Walmart. The reviews are reliable indicating which ones allow truck parking, no parking, and overnight.

    I don't like the updated parking status meter. I liked the previous none/some/lots of parking buttons.

    Yeah the satellite view is handy. I use it to see where exits are if I've never been to the truck stop before.

    So..... You need an app to figure out how to get out of the truck stop.
