New Press Release: iExit iPhone App Puts You In Control Of Your Road Trip

iExit

Where’s the next exit with a Chick-Fil-A?
Where’s the next exit with a Hampton Inn, Shell Station, and a Dunkin Donuts?
Where’s the next Rest Area?
Where is the closest Starbucks, even when I’m not on the interstate?

iExit knows. And for less than a kid’s meal, you can too.

iExit is designed to easily communicate where your next best exit is within seconds of starting up. It automatically determines if you’re on the interstate, what direction you’re traveling, and which upcoming exits contain your favorite chain brands, even when you have no phone service! Whether you’re looking for a single chain brand or an exit with multiple chains, iExit has got you covered.

Though iExit is designed for interstate travel, it is quite useful off the interstate as well. Ever had a Starbucks craving but didn’t know where one was? Ever needed to find a Walmart or Target? Use iExit to find locations and get turn-by-turn directions for over 300 chain brands whether on or off the interstate.
