suggested apps for VANOUR

In the 90s if we planned a road trip we only had at our disposal some few resources to discover new places. For example a large folded map, the locals you met on the way and possibly a small GPS attached to the dashboard of your car, campervan. Nowadays, there are hundreds of helpful resources at your hands in the form of apps on your phone.


This are the best Apps for planning a road trip Around Mexico:

FOR THE ROAD

iOverlander

This app is a database from places overlanders and travelers have known and added information on the road. This data uses camps, RV Parks, Hotels, Restaurants, Gas stations, Water, and other helpful categories. The details of each category is listed and each place has services, fotos, GPS coordinates and the date of the last visit.

Navigation Apps

Google Maps

If you have a smartphone or a tablet, you already have access to this powerful road trip app. This is best for real-time road tip navigation. The best part is that you can download an offline version of Google Maps so you don’t need the internet to rely on it!
For mexican roads its the best way to navigate

Waze
This app informs you about upcoming traffic along your route, construction sections, crashes, and other roadblocks in real-time. This can be very helpful when you’re driving on highways/freeways, through cities, and more populated areas. We recommend this app for cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara or Monterrey.

For planning a trip

Google Trips

While this app is designed for all types of travel, it can still be an extremely helpful app for planning a road trip. The highlight of this app is that it helps keep all of your plans in a singular spot. It is especially good with planning day trips and showing cities you can explore along your current route. 

For some incredible activities

AllTrails

Most nature lovers do some amount of hiking as they travel. After all, hiking is one of the best ways to see the national park trails and the best hidden places we have in Mexico.

For the weather

Accuweather
This is one of the most accurate weather apps out there, making planning that much easier. It provides information not usually found in weather apps, such as UV index and the “RealFeel”. We also love that it provides a live weather radar and real-time alerts, meaning we are always aware when severe weather is headed our way while out in our RV.
The Weather Channel
Another fantastic option is The Weather Channel’s app. This app also provides weather alerts and a live radar, keeping you up-to-date in severe weather.
