Android Apps for RV'ers

[jimandfam]

Just wondering of any useful android app for rving? I'v been using

this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.travelcheap.rvdiscount to match up goodsam and passport parks

And this one to find other park and places

And this one to find walmarts that let you park overnight

The one I use the most, RAINDAR.

X2. We just took a trip to Elkhart, IN and back to pickup our new trailer and we used Raindar, Loves and Pilot/Flying J apps on my wife's phone and tablet. She was able to stay ahead on fuel stops and any bad weather we might be headed towards.

Should be noted, that with some paid apps, you give up little or no info

Giving up info is what paids for the free apps

Personally I hate apps. You give up way too much of your privacy to use them. Most everything, including this website, I browse on Dolphin browser for Android (guess that counts as 1). For campgrounds I use www.campgroundviews.com the site is mobile friendly and much more accurate/ up to date than the free or pay apps. Whatever you do go with just realize that you give up a lot of personal info, sometimes even when not using, for the privilege of having an app.

I use Garmin Smartphone link to connect via bluetooth to my RV 760 GPS. Gives me hands free voice command phone, weather alerts and weather map overlays on my GPS, traffic reports and routing to GPS, transfers phone map destinations to GPS, live traffic cams on GPS, plus some other stuff. Pretty cool I have not gotten to use it much, but taking off for 6 months in a few days. On short auto trips it works well, we will see what happens when we get it out in the MH on a real trip.

Here is what I actually use:

IP Cam Viewer - so I can watch the stick house while traveling (use CISCO IP cams at home)
Raindar - get a moving weather map centered on my current location
Alarm Clock Plus - gets me going for those early morning get-aways
GasBuddy - best fuel prices in neighborhood
Yelp - restaurant reviews while traveling
Maps - the google app that also does navigation
