Food in the van, McDonald's round the corner: HGVDriver.com maps where drivers eat
From burger vans to drive-thrus you can actually reach in a truck, HGVDriver.com's Coffee / Food layer shows where drivers eat on the road.

A hot meal can make or break a long shift, but most food apps assume you're in a car. HGVDriver.com takes a different approach: its Coffee / Food pins are added by drivers, for drivers, with parking in mind.
Food and parking, side by side
Take this industrial estate in Brimsdown, north London. Drivers have pinned a "Food in the van" stop, plus two break spots labelled "Break spot, to run over to McDonald's" and "Parking to get food around the corner". It's the full picture: where to leave the truck, and where to walk to.
Opening hours that don't pretend
Food stops can carry opening days and times. Where a driver knows the place is open but not the hours, the map says so rather than implying 24-hour service — so you won't be caught out at 3am.
Rate it, earn for it
Drivers who add food stops work towards the Greasy Spoon Critic achievement, and rating parking and food spots counts towards Lay-by Judge. Good café? Put it on the map.
