Apps for new mini I-pad while traveling
Picked up a new mini I-Pad to use while traveling and any other way. What are some good apps for traveling plus shopping,coupons or anything that would be hard to live without. Thanks

Another vote for "Around Me" regardless of how you travel. I've also played with "iExit", "Google Maps and "Google Earth" in addition to the Apple Maps app, "All Stays Rest Stops" and "All Stays Camp and RV". And if you ever travel by plane or need to pick up people at the airport "Flightboard" is handy to find the ETA of the flight.
I also have "GPS Drive HD" for a GPS which I use in addition to the Garmin on the dash. I don't use it much. I prefer the dedicated GPS. However, when I do the nagavating (according to my wife, that is NOT a typo!!! LOL) I'll use it in addition to the Garmin. Plus Google Maps. Satellite views are awesome for determining big rig access.
For most of these you either need a wifi connection of have a data plan to get maximum benefit out of them.
Is your iPad mini the one with the GPS & Cellular capability? If so, then you can activate a cellular carrier monthly as needed. If yours is the wifi only model, then you'll have to either set up a wifi hotspot with your phone or other device, or find a free wifi connection. Actually, if you have the wifi only model and you can still return it, I'd strongly recommend the Cellular model. You get the GPS chip plus the ability to activate a cellular connection whenever needed.
