Questions

Where are the rest areas near Rio de Janeiro?
The map shows 9 mapped rest areas. The "Road trip" preset combines them with fuel, charging and toilets, which is the more useful view when driving.
Do rest areas have toilets?
Larger ones usually do, smaller laybys often do not. Turn on the toilets category as well and you can see both layers at once.
Where does this rest areas data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
Is the list of rest areas in Rio de Janeiro complete?
It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
