    I thought I would share a few new "Droid" apps I have come across lately.

    1) Love's- This app will help locate sites based on your GPS position, and ammenities. Also you can set it up with your Loves card info, and access your points,showers and drink credits.
    2) Blue Beacon- Site locator based on GPS, also allows for instant calling.
    3) TA/Petro- This one is my favorite so far. Besides all the normal GPS locating and ammenties stuff, you can also check shower availablity and reserve a shower using your phone (once you setup your card info). When your shower is ready you will get an email on your phone telling your what shower is yours.

    Anyway, some of you may already know about these, but for those of you who didnt already know, they may be of some help to you, please feel free to add to the list.

    Yea, the pilot one was written by some moron, not by pilot themselves. Hopefully soon they will one for Droid instead of just the iPhone

    :biggrin_25513: Why walk inside then stand around for an hour waiting on a shower, when you can sit in your truck till its ready and walk straight into the shower?
