Each place on Roadtrippers will have a place page like the one shown below. These pages provide detailed information about a place including hours, contact info, parking, and more. From this page, you can also add the stop to your trip, save it to your saved places, or share it with friends.
Let's dig into what the place pages have to offer!
Details
When you first open a place page on the desktop site, you'll see the name, address, and rating at the top of the page. Along the bottom of the place's cover image is more helpful information if we have it - such as hours, pricing, wheelchair accessibility and more! You'll also see buttons to add the place to a trip or start a new trip, save the place, and add a photo to the image gallery.
If you scroll down, on the right-hand side you'll find even more details for the place - including whether a place is independently owned or a chain, also you can find pet friendliness, parking, wifi availability, and a link to the website, Facebook page, or email for more information. Lastly, you can see exactly where the place sits on the map.
You can also find attributes about the place, giving you a better idea of parking, restrooms, amenities, etc. This section is found in the details under the photo banner, next to the reviews and comments.
The Details tab is the main section of a place's page in the mobile app and features a little bit of everything such as the add to trip or start trip button, navigation, description, hours, contact info, website, and more!
