Thor Forums

[Locknut]

I recently responded to another Forum member's inquiry with a list of the apps I use when traveling and camping. I thought this might be a good topic for a thread of its own, so here goes...

These are the apps I use...not just on the road, but for pre-trip planning as well. What apps do you use and why?


I have a Samsung Edge, so my apps are for Android, but they should be available in Apple version also.

iExit - describes services available at each exit

Interstate Rest Areas - just what it says

TV Food Maps - identifies restaurants that have been on any of the TV food shows

Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Street View - for help in finding those hard to locate locations

Waze - for GPS services

Good Sam Roadside Assistance

Passport America and Good Sam Camping

My Pilot - for fuel discounts at Pilot and Flying J

Gas Buddy - to check fuel prices

TrailLink - for bicycling information

Yelp - for restaurant reviews

Weather Channel and NOAA weather apps

Utilities such as a flashlight app, an alarm clock, etc

CardStar - to digitally record all my various shopping cards rather than have a dozen little tabs on my keychain

CVS - to get my prescriptions filled no matter where I am

Pandora and Spotify - to bluetooth music to my radio while traveling

Old Time Radio Player, Audible, and CNN - for when we want some type audio other than music

Hope that helps!
