When youre on the road, would you like to find your favorite places before you pass them by?  Would you like to find WiFi hotspots on the way?  This app provides a quick way to look up the location of necessities over a long distance during a road trip within the U.S.
RoadWrangler combines some really good features of Google Maps, the Google "Directions API" and the Yahoo "Local Search Web Services API, to compute a travel route between two points and then locate all your favorite places along the way. For instance, if you like Shell gas, Dunkin Donuts and Hampton hotels, just enter your favorite names and hit "Save and Exit". The route will be displayed on the map with your favorite pins at each waypoint. Also, you can enter WiFi to find hotspots.

Oh Yeah - If you have the WiFi-Only iPad, no problem!  RoadWrangler will run without the Internet after you Load-And-Go at a WiFi Oasis (and now you know how to find them!). RoadWrangler saves everything and reloads it next time the App is run.
This App uses the Yahoo Places API which only works for places within the U.S.
