Title: Smartphone Travel Apps
Post by: GoPhoenix on September 04, 2015, 12:24:09 pm
We have some Smartphone apps we use: Good Sam, Google Maps, Gas Buddy.  But assume there are some useful apps that we are not using and perhaps should be.  Recommendations?

We find ALLSAYS indispensable both when on the road and at home  when planning trips.
If your updating your apts does that mean your not selling?

When It comes Travel Apps I am hoarder.
For camping,,,,Good Sam, KOA, RVParky, AllStays RV. and CampFinder.
For Travel,,,,,,,,MyPilot for Pilot and Flying J travel centers, Truck and RV Finder  this app will also list highway rest areas and Walmarts. and Blue Beacon truck wash. Yes I do use Blue Beacons because they have set up their washes to handle motor homes and travel trailers.  TVTowers is a great app for finding the antenna directions, making it easy to aim the antenna ( for folks who do not have Sat TV.)
Google Maps is a definite favorite, along with Google Earth.
My most recent app is Nashville that gives great info for the upcoming Rally. And the CatScales app.

RKS, we would still like to sell.  Have had some offers but none acceptable.  Looks like we will still be travelling.

I love the recgovcamping app. We like national parks, COE and NFS campgrounds, many campground reservation are made on recreation.gov.  Not sure if it has been made available for android since I have it on my iPhone and iPad.  I also like PocketRanger which makes apps for various state and national parks.
