The Easter holidays are here. And we must prepare for the trips. If you are going to move by car, it is important that you have installed on your mobile all those applications that can get you out of trouble. That's why we've selected five basic, yet highly practical tools to be prepared for anything.
We have found applications to receive notifications about traffic, others related to the weather and others in case you have an emergency. If you want to go on a trip well prepared, don't forget to download them.
1. Waze
Waze is one of the most famous applications, because it is also one of the most complete. If you drive regularly, this tool will not only be useful on vacation. Also all year. You will receive exact information on traffic, works, accidents, police checkpoints and any other event that may hinder your route.
At the same time, the system will offer you alternative routes to arrive earlier and you will see information about your arrival time in real time. You'll also be able to locate cheap gas stations and, of course, a narrated guide as you drive.
2. AEMET
Spring has started this year with copious snowfalls in many parts of the peninsula. The weather is a factor that must be controlled, so it is important that you have installed on your mobile at least one application that can provide you with detailed information about the weather.
You will find it helpful, for example, to plan your vacation routes. And to remain safe in the face of any unforeseen weather. There is nothing worse than encountering a storm while driving The AEMET application is the most reliable source you can consult when it comes to finding out about the weather.
Includes information on the forecast of the next few days and the following hours, warnings and consultation by municipality. If you want, you can also see the radar of the peninsula and check the regional ones, as well as check the status of the beaches.
3. GPS Status
If you are going to go out into the mountains or any other place where you are going to be somewhat isolated, it would be a good idea to have an application such as GPS Status installed. It can serve as a compass, but thanks to the GPS connection, it also offers the position and signal strength of the satellites, precision, speed, acceleration, altitude, inclination, movement, etc. It includes a true north and magnetic compass, a leveling tool, plus a system for sharing your location with others.
4.GasAll
Surely you have the cheapest gas stations listed near your house. If you are worried about being able to refuel for a reduced price, you can install this application.It's called GasAll and it's a tool specially designed to find nearby gas stations anywhere in Spain
First of all, you will have to select the type of fuel, choose the tank capacity and the average fuel consumption. Click Next and then GasAll will show you the nearest service stations You can classify them by price or by proximity. If you want you can also add them to the Favorites section.
5. SocialDrive
Let's now take a look at the last application that we propose to you. It's called SocialDrive and it's great for getting the latest on everything that's happening on the road.
