All Truck Stops Returned On Your Route Or Radius Are Now Displayed On A Map

Well, you've asked for it (numerous times), and now we've added it - when you run a route or radius from the TruckMaster Fuel Finder™, we now show you the resulting truck stops on a map. If you hover over an icon, a summary of that stop is displayed. Clicking on a stop gives you a link to access the detail page with amenities, etc.

There are quite a few changes that we'd already like to add to this new feature, and will over the next couple of months.

A couple mentionables:

• Truck stop icons on the map could be changed, either by color or appearance, to indicate how they rate according to your sort criteria. For example, if you sort by CPG, the icons for the cheapest truck stops could be green, then yellow, and the worst red.
• Truck stop icons on the map could be changed to indicate whether or not amenities you've specified were found.

We really like this new feature, and hope that you will as well. It's brand new, so we haven't had a chance to do in-depth testing on all of the different browser versions, but we do know that it works great on FireFox 3+, as well as Explorer 6 & 7. We'll be testing on other browsers as time permits.

Give us your thoughts on other things that we can do with the mapping feature!
