A useful service for travelers

Thanks to your timely article I was able to use this AAA perk [“Taking a Different Route to Planning Your Next Road Trip,” Travel Insider, July 6]. I was unaware of it. This was helpful on our road trip from Northern California to Colorado and back. Knowing where we could expect to have gas/food was particularly useful.
