I go to google maps and look at stops in satellite view and street view.
Tried that but I don't know enough about the layout of travel centers yet for it to do any good:o
I also do just what TyroneandGladys suggest, looking over just about every fuel or comfort stop ahead of time when I plan my routes. Fortunately, my trip planner, Garmin's BaseCamp, can call up Google Earth directly from the program to show me what I am looking at on the BaseCamp screen.
You are correct, however. Experience helps in translating the image you are able to obtain from satellite imagery and ground level Google camera pictures to what you will face in reality. Just as experience helps in many other aspects of RVing!
