Find great food stops on your way
Between two mountain passes, you want a real stop, not one more motorway services. Iconic Food Stops shows 38 great places to eat in 18 countries. One is a hut at the top of the Stelvio. One is a fish bar on the Fife coast. You can see which ones are on your way.
1Open Menu, then Layers
Tap Menu at the top left of the screen. Then tap Layers at the top of the menu. Layers is a list of things the map can show. Each line has its own switch to turn it on or off.

2Switch on Iconic Food Stops
Scroll down to the heading Worth a Stop. The first switch under it says Iconic Food Stops. Tap it to turn it on. The app will remember this next time. Tap it again if you want the food stops gone.

3Close the menu and look
Tap Map at the top left to close the menu. Each food stop is a purple pin with a small burger on it. You can see all 38 at once, even when you zoom out. Zoom out to see all of them. Then zoom in on where you are going.

4Tap a stop for its card
Tap a purple pin to open its card. You will see a photo if we have one. You will see the name, the town and how long it has been open. It says what people go there for, most often a dish. It shows the road it is on, so you know if it is on your way. The date at the bottom is when we last checked it.

5Get directions from the card
At the bottom of the card, tap Directions to here to plan a route to it. Tap Directions from here to start a route from it. If you already have a route, tap Head here next to add the stop. Website opens the place's own page. Report a problem lets you email us if something has changed.

Good to know
We picked all 38 places by hand, one at a time. They are not from a list of every cafe. Each one is a simple place that people know well. Each one is on a good road to drive. They are in 18 countries, with the most in Britain. Large parts of Europe have none yet. The card does not show opening hours. Check before you drive a long way, most of all to the huts on high passes.
Also in the app: maps that work with no signal, campsites and aires, and Plan with AI. It plans routes for seven kinds of vehicle, from an enduro bike to a motorhome.
