Hello Todd!
I have read your book! And it is really so good. Thank you very much for sharing the weather app, the weather app is a must for truck drivers like us. This app will surely help in monsoon season as it will show the rainy weather in the middle while reaching the destination. By the way do you know any offline application which shows about the Petrol pumps? I asked offline app because some areas have network issues so no internet yk.
