I like maps but for the items above I like to see them in text form and that is why I was hesitant to buy their map.
The ACA maps list those services, including some off route, and often talk about any service gaps.
Also, if you are talking about the state bicycle map (I have one), it doesn’t show the minor roads ACA uses that get you off the highway where possible. E.g., between Fortine and Eureka. Also just north of Whitefish the route uses some quiet roads for several miles instead of US 93.
