TA Android App

[Turtle]

They've got one for the iPhone, too, but iDont.

It's called TruckSmart for Android and it's nifty. At the link, take close notice of the screencap on the right (click it and it'll get bigger). It lists the parking spaces and number of showers, and how many are available.

It's got a few of the location's GPS coordinates wrong, some are way wrong, but it's getting there. The app is still early in development, but so far so good.

But, the really gnarley thing is, today they added UltraONE support. Menu|Settings, and enter your full card number and PIN. It'll not only alert you on the phone when your shower is ready, but you can redeem showers on the phone, too. You pull up into the lot, check to see how many shower are available, redeem an instant shower, and it'll tell you when the shower is available and give you the shower code. Then you go in and take your shower. How kewl is that?

Trucksmart is nice, I also have the one for Love's, and another called My DAT Truck Stop which checks for all kinds of truck stops with DAT load boards. Pilot only has one for the iPhone right now.

Thanks for the tip. I have downloaded it and find it easy to use. Been sitting here on my sofa for the last 15 minutes checking how many showers are available across the country, LOL.

If you mean the Pilot app in the Android Marketplace, that's not from Pilot, that's from someone else. Not only does it cost money, it's a piece of crap, just really bad.

I was thinking I saw an ad in a bathroom saying they only had it for the iPhone but wasn't 100%, see you can learn things from reading stuff on the bathroom wall, just don't pay attention to the things written in ink or poop and you will be OK.

I went to PilotFlyingJ's Web site yesterday to make sure, and yep, they don't want Android owner's business. Not yet.

Yep, I just have their website bookmarked. If they ever do release a Droid app, I will only d/l it if it's free.

Thanks. I was afraid I might have been too subtle in making my point.
