TeleNav Inc., the provider of mobile GPS technology for wireless providers such as AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, analyzed the places that 17 million drivers most often tried to locate in September. Here are some of the findings:
When motorists were hungry, McDonald's was the No. 1 searched eatery, with more than twice as many searches as second-place Subway.
When they needed to sleep, Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts was the top-searched hotel (second place: Marriott).
Users who wanted to shop most often searched for Walmart, which had triple the results of the next most popular retailer, Target, and was the overall No. 1-searched term.
And for caffeine, the overwhelming choice was Starbucks.
