11 Essential iPhone Apps for a Road Trip

If you own an iPhone, or for some of these applications an iPod Touch, here is a review of some very useful applications for road trips. I like keeping track of gas milage for my vehicle and challenging myself to make improvements, so when I got an iPod touch to replace my trusty Palm Pilot, I went looking for a good program to track milage. After trying several, I settled on Road Trip. You can use it as a simple milage tracker, or if you're obsessive about it, it allows you to record more information such as location, octane, road conditions and method of payment. You can also designate a range of dates as a particular road trip to analysis. All together a handy application with great support from the developer, Darren Stone.
