Frequently Asked Questions

Does it find toilets and EV chargers along my route?
Yes. We search a corridor that follows your actual route (not just a straight line) to show public toilets, EV chargers (DC/AC with connector filters), food, and fun stops.
Can I add stops by clicking?
Yep—tap the map to drop a waypoint, or use the in any place popup to add it as a stop. Waypoints are numbered and you’ll see per-leg distance & time.
Which EV connectors are supported?
We support Type 2, CCS2, CCS1, CHAdeMO, and Tesla (Supercharger & Destination). You can also filter to show only “DC Fast” chargers.
How do you calculate “along route”?
We generate a route polyline and build a buffer (your chosen search radius) around it. POIs must fall inside that corridor to show—so you get true along-route results, not just nearby cities.
What search radius should I use?
You can set 0.1–5.0 miles (default is 0.5 mi). Smaller keeps results tight to the highway; larger gives you more options. If you don’t see much in rural areas, bump the radius up.
Does it open in Apple Maps / Google Maps / Waze?
Yes—every popup includes direct links for Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze so you can navigate with your preferred app.
Can I save routes? Do I need an account?
Saving routes uses your WordPress login (private to you). If you’re not signed in, you can still share a link—anyone with the link can load your exact plan without needing an account.
Where does the data come from?
Places & chargers come from OpenStreetMap (OSM); geocoding via Nominatim; routing via OSRM; and landmark blurbs via Wikipedia. If something is missing, adding it to OSM will make it appear here too!
Why does a place sometimes show “Unknown”?
It means the POI has no name tag in the database. We automatically infer a sensible label from its tags (e.g., Playground, Bakery) so the popup is still useful.
Which countries are supported?
Anywhere covered by OpenStreetMap (Global). Coverage varies by area—popular routes and cities have richer data, while very remote areas may have fewer POIs.
