Ok, dumb question of the year... If your driving and need to do some shopping for groceries etc. Is there a pocket travel guide or something that helps you locate a Walmart or grocery store? When your in need of supplies how do you go about finding what your after? I know if I happen to have internet access, and can figure out my zip code I am in, that I could look it up on a web site, but there seem to be a lot of ifs in that statement :shock: :lol:
On a recent road trip from CA to CO I realized I left some much needed items behind for the trip. I lucked out and happened to see a Wally World on my way or it would have been a very unpleasant experience. It got me thinking there has to be a handy dandy guide or something out there to help travellers, truckers, retired homeless people(RVer's). Thoughts? Longsnowsm

Available in most stores is a Rand Mcnally US road atlas with a list of all wal-mart stores. $4.97

Delorme Street Atlas GPS software has all the WalMarts listed in it as well, and will route you right to it.
One of the fantastic hidden features of the software - the POI (points of interest) section.

Thanks for the feedback! I ordered a copy of Next Exit based on the input here. I didn't think to check my Atlas or my MS Trips and Streets software. I will have to take a look. You guys are life savers. This place is awesome.
