An iPhone app that shows you hospitality options at each upcoming exit.

The "Add Stop" feature on both Google & Apple Maps never did it for me. The thing is, choosing, say, a food option during your drive has I think two distinct properties: It's prohibitive to go back, and you usually have an extremely narrow set of familiar brands to choose from that put you firmly in exploit territory. So you probably have a preference ranking in your head already, and now you need to weight their exit availability against your desired stopping time.

Seeing this app on HN today was one of those delightful moments when you realize that someone else had the exact same micro-frustration (*) you had, decided to do something about it, and did it exactly the right way. His write up about how he built it is also interesting and thought me about the OSRM routing engine.
