What RV related Apps do you use on your smart phones?

[TucsonJim]

We just got back from another successful outing with our 337. No problems, and pulled great. While on the road, we frequently use phone apps to make our RVing life a little easier. Here are some that we use. Would you mind sharing yours?

GasBuddy - Allows us to search out the lowest price gasoline or diesel fuel
Good Sam Camping - Nice app for finding Good Sam RV parks and services
Cat Scale - App for finding Cat scales to weigh the rig if needed
MyPilot - Convenient search tool for finding Pilot/Flying J truck stops
KOA - Kampgrounds of America locator
Google Earth - App version of the computer program. Allows you to get a satellite view of locations you're interested in.
Google Sky Map - A GPS enabled tool for identifying constellations, stars, planets, etc. based upon your current location.


I'll bet there are some other good ones that you're all using.

I also use Allstays app. It cost but it also will route you based on towing an RV.(I think)

 

[Dave and Monica]

Hey Jim...I just haven't caught on with the new technology out there. Here's the Palm Pilot that I use...

Geez Dave. I like the lanyard you have so you don't lose the pen. I need one of those for my keys.

 

[Dave and Monica]

I got of yards of lanyards...I'll send you some!

 

[Traveling Piper]

Agree on Allstays and you can see sites up close on the map for a preview of fuel stations and campgrounds- like how big the junk yard is right beside the RV park.

 

[Cate&Rob]

Hey Dave,
I see you got the left handed palm pilot too !

We use Google Earth when we are planning motorcycle trips - I can usually tell if a road is paved or not.....I don't do gravel

 

[lawdes]

I use RV Checklists, a great little app for customizing check lists for set up or breaking camp and getting ready for the road. (especially securing for towing)

 

[GD350M]

I have my fuel prices listed on my trucks infotainment. The MyFord Touch has service (dirt cheap, I paid for 3 years @ like $30) that lets me get fuel prices along my route, weather map to show me weather ahead, movie listings, sport scores, and even skiing information. I also use my nav built in. I do like the good Sams app and the Google Maps as Google maps gives me almost real time traffic information.

 

[Luvmy70]

We travel with our 4 dogs so we use USA Rest Stops app to plan our next potty break and also fill up from my fuel tank in the bed.

 

[Blacksmith]

I like to use I-exit , while traveling. Tells you what's ahead off the highway like gas and food. Also lists rest stops.

 

[jim.carol.mi]

Rv Parky is also good for campgrounds, rest stops, certain stores and gas stations and food stops. You choose what to see.

Why do you prefer Google Earth over Google Maps?

 

[shrode]

Any good apps for locating low bridges?

 

[Steve7]

Since this thread is going again, I'll add we use weatherunderground for weather conditions and forecasts...

Sorry, I didn't mean to start two threads on the same subject

That's okay, figured this would be the one to continue. Maybe a moderator will delete your new one..
