What apps do you use when traveling? I got a new tablet, and I'm a complete armature.

What kind of internet access does your tablet have - wifi and/or 3/4g? That can dictate to an extent which apps would be more useful - and what OS is it? Some apps on Android that are free (see: ad supported) aren't free or available at all on iOS.

I use "Good ride" by Allstate to log my trip, keep up with expenses and determine individual states' laws.
I use "Pure Gas" to help me locate ethanal free fuel.

I use mine for email and map searching. I have a GPS on the bike. Download Google maps. I use it.

Android 4.0 WIFI but no 3G I was planning on using the hot spot function on Joanne's phone but found out there is an added charge for that.  Well, of course there is. |

Can you purchase the "hot spot" function for Joanne's phone on a monthly basis? I "THINK" Verizon offers something like that and perhaps other carriers do as well....might be worth consideration....

Bought a Razor Maxx for full time use but got some specific apps for road use, has gas buddy, navigation, emai, internetl and phone and a whole bunch of other crap I don't know how to use. But, it's honestly just not a tool I care to surf the net with. Take my laptop along for when I find wifi. Way more information potential capability than I used to travel with. Hate tring to read a foldup map while motoring down the road, GPS makes it so much more enjoyable, just ride.

I use a weather radar app if there are storms in area. I may use a map app if I just really have to. |
