My Business Idea, I have some questions

[Hipster Mike]

So me and my friend have a business idea that we are already planning called "Ride The Highways". You can go to the website right here: Ride The Highways!.

Basically we are trying to get videos of Highways and what not, and then make a search function where you can put point A to point B, similar to Google Maps but instead of pictures, it will be in video.

From there, there would be makers on rest stops, truck stops, gas stations, restaurants, etc. In the video a little notification would be like "Gas Station 2miles ahead, and you could click on that, and then get the info for that particular gas station.

What we have up now is pretty much just a beta of compiled content, what do you guys think of this idea? Any ideas and suggestions? We are also looking for programmers we can either pay you hourly or give a percentage of the company. Please get back to me.

Have you used Google Street View before? Sounds similar.

Good luck though...

Once, I had a similar idea:
Create videos of bicycle trails. Google doesn't have this - the question is just: How to monetize it?

The question is:
Who would sit in front of the computer, watch "boring" videos of highways?
Maybe it would be better to have truck stops/restaurant/... rating website where someone can plan some stops?
But on the other hand: Can you schedule, when you need to go to the toilet?

Yeah I have, the thing about Street view is like I stated in the OP is that uses pictures instead of video, now instead of doing streets we would be doing Highways. I also agree with the other poster, you really can't schedule when you use the restroom, but it would be some good information in some cases, of course we would need a mobile app for it to be useful to people on the road, but I think the basis of the idea is not a terrible one.
