Thought I could share my apps here and maybe you have other apps that are useful as well. What I use is: * Tomtom for navigation together with a Magellan carkit * Clinometer for leveling RV * Checklist * Gas manager for keeping track of mileage * Walkie talkie for getting directional assistance from DW while backing up,... * Flashlight * Desk clock * Skype for calling at a free wifi hotspot * Motion-x for finding back your RV in the great outdoors * Music while driving * Movies and series when camping in bad weather * Browsing rv.net at a free wifi hotspot * Camera - 8M-pixle picture and HD video taking Anyone have the same/other apps that are useful? * This post was last edited 01/31/12 12:25am by mark_be *   View edit history 2001 Ford F350 7.3 Diesel (DRW Crew cab Long bed) 2011 Arctic Fox 992 ReverendCharles • View posts on the road Senior Member Joined: 06/11/2011 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/31/12 12:25am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Tv tower locator Fizz • View posts Ottawa, Canada Senior Member Joined: 07/28/2003 View Profile Posted: 01/31/12 05:22am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Our latest find. A simple journal/calendar Day One Flex Player for watching avi files direct without converting, much like VLC on your PC. Flex Player P.S. On our way back from Xmas waaaay up north we got caught in a three hour wait because of a car accident. Fired up the iPad and watched a movie.

MurphyUSA I've started getting off the interstates and getting gas at only Murphy stations now instead of J's/Loves. This app lets me know how far off the interstate and if it's accessible. Pilot travelcenters EveryTrail PRO Weather Alert USA (softpeasllc) real time info/maps/alerts-IMHO shouldn't RV without this app! and....... Angry Birds! You just can't RV without Angry Birds! 10 thumbs up for the new version..... Angry Birds RIO We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. chuggs • View posts Florida Senior Member Joined: 06/16/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/31/12 07:46am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator +1 on the TV antenna locator. BEFORE, I would look at everyone elses antenna...or waste a lot of time looking for a signal. Now I open the app...tap the GPS locate icon. It finds me, and lists the stations... I tap the compass icon or the Google map graphic overlay icon(either method works) orient my antenna accordingly. Go scan the stations --- and I'm done! No guesswork involved. Great Application if you don't own a Satellite System. Even gives you a list of channels so you know where to look for the paticular network. Of course, if you're camping at Bahia Honda Key ( Florida Keys)...you'll not find a single OTA broadcast that you can clearly receive. We usually go ride our bikes, kayak, walk the dogs, or fish. No App needed for that! jetboat • View posts Arizona Senior Member Joined: 12/08/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/31/12 07:57am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Have we got to high tech? doctort • View posts Dallas, TX Full Member Joined: 06/13/2005 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/31/12 11:04am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator jetboat wrote: Have we got to high tech?

I have Florida Campgrounds Georgia Campgrounds Rest Stops Flying J's Walmarts Low Overhead Clearances Camping World Locations etc... I don't look for these unless I'm traveling --- so might as well use the GPS vs taking up memory on the phone. I-HEART Radio is another app for listening to radio broadcast via 3g/4g or WIFI smartphone connection, iPAD, etc... I think this technology is great! We can stay in touch with family, shop, research, navigate, stream tv shows or movies, check on the camper temp./power status when we're out sightseeing w/ the dogs locked inside, ...heck just being able to dail 911 or find the closest Hospital might be a lifesaver someday.
