The Wireless Highway
Exit Guide is a helpful resource and easy to read.
Each Guide is unique
to a highway (e.g. I-80) and state (e.g. Iowa). The guide layout
is linear, showing each exit number in sequence
across a particular state (e.g. Iowa).
Note: The guide should be read in reverse
order (i.e. scroll up) for EB & NB travel and in normal
order (ie. scroll down) for SB & WB travel.
Exit entries are
listed by category (e.g. lodging, food) and are in
the form of either a text listing or ad graphic.
