The POI's that came with my Garmin Nuvi has rest stops.
You can also load custom POI's with rest stops from the POI factory:

| Dave,
I am looking at the Nuvi 350. I looked at the user manual on Garmin's
website and did not see it.
Which Nuvi do you have?

| My StreetPilot 3 showed rest stop icons when on the 5 mile scale. My 2730
does not have such icons (that I have been able to find), but rest stops are
accessible from the menus.

The Garmin maps (City Navigator, et. al.) have rest stops as POI's, but I
find them very difficult to "find" using the 60CSx "FIND" menu. Generally
speaking, if I stop at one and look at the map, lo and behold it will be
shown! Sometimes they will appear on the map at one scale, and then
disappear when I zoom in! I haven't tried them, but I suspect the custom
POI variety would be better; probably more up to date as well.

| Rob,
On the NUVI 350 go to the Menu, touch "Where to?" then key down to
"Auto Services" then key down to "Rest Area/Tourist Info" It works
well.
