I have Gas Buddy loaded on my smartphone. But what other apps are others finding useful? Chuck

Gas logger, dish pointer,torque,ring scheduler, are my favories.

NOAA Weather, iMap Weather Radio, RV Parky, Good Sam, KOA, Passport America, GasBuddy, My Pilot, iExit, Interstate Exits Guide, CoPilot, DishPointer, and TV Antenna Helper are our most used RV related apps.

rvparky, google maps, WAZE, walmart, Weatherbug, Great Clips, Run Pee, My Pilot (Pilot, FJ), Yelp, Dish Pointer (if you use satellite TV), your banking App (BOA in my case), local weather app (currently KCRA), Red Cross First Aid app, so many more special interest apps I can't begin to list.

Several good ones listed above. Here's a couple more:Good Sam Camping, CAT Scale (weigh your rig), Google Sky Map, Emergency Alert.

I hate CoPilot, for some reason their search engine never seems to find some campgrounds I'm looking for even though I selected search all. But when i go to Google directly I find it, go figure.

I have the same problem with the POI's, I figured I just don't know how to use the search function yet.

CoPilot, Gas Buddy, RVParky, IExit, Walmart locator, Compass, Goggle, FoxFi, Google Maps, All for Android and all free except CoPilot which also has a free version but has limitations. CoPilot is the app that I use the most in the RV - RV mode navigation with no need for a data connection as all full maps are on the phone.

Wow, great suggestions from everyone. I have already installed many of them. Does anyone find a paid app provides more info than the free ones?
I paid $6.99 for CoPilot and felt it is better than my Garmin I had. Also use Waze for traffic and Weather Bug for storm tracking both of which are free. My 10 yr old GS used google maps GPS on our trip out west with gives turn by turn directions and a satellite image to check out prospective camp sites. I did all the driving so I don't know if Copilot has this feature also.
