- Get info about each boondocking location, even when offline.
- Mark locations as Favorite locations.
- Get the local weather for the location.
- Find nearby hiking and biking locations.
- View Flickr photos for the location (when available).
- Filter the locations (water, toilets, big rig friendly, etc) so you only view the locations you what to see.
- Send location data directly to our Road Trip Planner app.
