Apps for new mini I-pad while traveling

I'll add a couple that I've found useful:

Public Radio - Obviously, only useful if you listen to Public radio, but it lists & connects to the on line service of most of the stations in the country, lets you find local ones, and has links to individual programs & podcasts.

MyRadar - Radar maps that can be sized to cover local or the entire US & Canada.

Gas Buddy - Prices of fuel at local stations.

CardStar - Lets you carry discount cards on your phone that can be scanned at the cash register. Saves a wallet or keychain full of plastic. (probably better for a phone, but if you carry the iPad is is handy)

Ultimate Campground - A very extensive list of non commercial campgrounds that can be searched on a map, by type or area. I also use AllStays Camp & RV, but this has more non commercial listings.

The Photographer's Ephemeris - While designed for photographers, this is also useful in choosing a location/position when setting up, particularly if you are using solar. It gives the path, time & location of sun & moon rise & set for any location.

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.
