Route 66 Centennial Guide

Managing your favorites just got easier. You can now clear all of your saved sites in one tap directly from the My Favorites screen — no more visiting each site individually to remove it. A simple "Clear all favorites" link appears beneath the trip time card whenever you have sites saved. A confirmation prompt protects against accidental deletions.

Version 1.7 has some pretty significant updates and fixes: 1. We did a full audit of all 267 sites, got the GPS locations tightened up, and then realized that a lot of the site sequence numbers were out-of-order. We *think* we have the sites in the proper order now. 2. We added five new sites: • Neon Museum of St. Louis. St. Louis, MO • Tulsa's Route 66 historical village. Tulsa, OK • Dotch Windsor's Painted Desert, Trading Post. Holbrook, AZ • Meteor City. Meteor City, AZ • Doghouse Drive-In. Albuquerque, NM This brings the total number of sites to 267! 3. We updated a lot of the "special notes" on the main page because some of the sites were under construction or modification, and they have now become active and open for business. Just in time for the Route 66 Centennial, of course. 4. We added our new PDR Heritage Roads theme song, “Tap That Road”, a music video. You'll find it in the information menu. Check it out. It's number five on the country charts. Okay, I'm just kidding about that. But it is an AI-generated song that’s quite fun and catchy. 5. We added a link to PDR Heritage Roads' new app: Natchez Trace: An Ancient Road 6. Finally, we fixed the audio narration on two Oklahoma sites that weren't using the Eleven Labs narrations.

Version 1.8 -- This update focuses on navigation accuracy across all 267 sites: • Corrected GPS coordinates (via Google Places) for numerous sites to improve pinpoint accuracy when tapping the address link. • Fixed address data at multiple locations along the route. • Improved map navigation to route directly from coordinates for faster, more reliable directions. • Added app version info to the About Me screen for easier reference. As always, thanks for traveling the Mother Road with us. Keep the feedback coming —PDR Heritage Roads

What's New in Version 1.9: This update adds a brand-new stop and tightens up accuracy across the board: • New Site Added -- The Imperial (Albuquerque, NM) — a beautifully restored 1964 Route 66 motor court on Central Avenue, famous for its distinctive butterfly-roof design and lit-up neon sign, now reopened with retro-modern rooms, a cafe, and the Imperial Dive bar/food hall. • GPS & Address Accuracy Pass -- Completed a full audit of GPS coordinates and addresses across all 267 sites to ensure pinpoint accuracy for navigation. Corrected a number of sites where map pins or addresses had drifted from their true locations. Thanks for traveling the Mother Road with us — keep the corrections and site suggestions coming!

Inspired by Jim Hinckley's Route 66 Encyclopedia and my July road trip to personally survey all sites in Missouri, I just added NINE new curated sites, all in Missouri. This brings the total number of curated, historic sites in the app to 277 and increases the number of Missouri sites from 38 to 47. The new sites are: • Spencer's Grill – Kirkwood, MO • Big Chief Cabin Hotel (Big Chief Roadhouse) – Wildwood, MO • Benson's Tourist City – Stanton, MO • Meramec Caverns – Stanton, MO • Bourbon Lodge – Bourbon, MO • Johnnie's Bar (Rose/Mary's Café) – St. James, MO • Uranus Fudge Factory & General Store – St. Robert, MO • Abbylee Court – Niangua, MO • Log City Camp – Avilla, MO Four of those sites are active beverage-dining establishments and have been added to the "Places to Eat & Drink" feature under the (i) information menu.

Had to fix about 6 geolocations, including site #51, the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge and Park. The address link now takes you to the park and not the center of the old bridge!
