The "Near Me" tab will show you all of the rest stops within 25 miles of your current location. The app does not know which direction you are heading in (yet) so it will only show northbound rest stops north of you, southbound rest stops south of you, etc.
A new feature of this release is adding rest stops to a notification list. If you've added a rest stop to this list (by clicking the bell icon) then the GPS will stay on until you're within 5 miles of that rest stop.
If you'd like to turn the GPS off and still keep items in your notification list, simpley double press the "home" button and swipe the USA Rest Stops app out of the list of running apps. This will fully close the app and turn off the GPS.
Adding a rest stop as a "favorite" can be helpful if you frequently drive the same routes routinely. It will help you easily remember the nicer ones to spend the night or that have dump stations for your RV.
