Android users can now sync trips planned on Roadtrippers.com to their phones for navigation, on-the-go mapping and finding super cool places along their way.

The Roadtrippers unique location database contains over 100k user-submitted and expert-curated places such as all-American diners, roadside attractions, quaint B&Bs, movie filming locations, scenic spots and much more.

The new iPhone app brings full trip planning capabilities to the iPhone allowing users to build itineraries on the fly and navigate them with ease. Roadtrippers is not simply a powerful navigation tool, it also helps users discover unique places along the road.

This year it's projected that over 43.4 million Americans will drive home for Thanksgiving. In addition, over 58% of all winter holiday travel will be on the road, and gas is 21 cents cheaper than this time last year (and the cheapest gas prices have been since 2010).

Roadtrippers launched in August 2012 and has become the fastest growing trip planning site in America, with over one million people using the service in October.

About Roadtrippers:

The open road. That's what it's all about. Driving down long stretches of asphalt, pulling over at a local diner for some grub, and discovering the most incredible roadside wonders.

Co-founders James Fisher and Tatiana Parent suffer from an incurable case of wanderlust. So, they decided to design a web and mobile platform that streamlines discovery, planning, booking and navigation into one engaging road trip planner.

Powered by a fleet of local experts and travel writers Roadtrippers features a seemingly infinite database of amazing places (actually 100,000+ to be slightly more exact). They do the hard part, so users can have the adventure of a lifetime. At its core, Roadtrippers aims to inspire and promote awareness for local, offbeat and culturally stimulating experiences. After all, as Emerson's taught, it's all about the journey.
