What are the Best Road Trip Apps to kill Boredom
Roadtrippers can be your ultimate travel planning helper for anyone embarking on a driving vacation. It’s especially useful for travelers who have a clear starting point and ending point but isn’t quite sure what routes to take, what cities to stop in, and what to see along the way.
Just put in point A and point B, and Roadtrippers will give you all of the best options for getting from one to the other along with recommendations of hotels, restaurants, bars, and points of interest. It’s completely free to download and use, although a premium version is available with even more features.
Designed specifically for road trips, the Car-tegories app tests your knowledge across several Trivial categories. Each card features 10 correct answers, which makes for a straightforward scoring system, and there are plenty of cards in the free version to keep you and your co-pilots guessing for quite some time. There’s a timer, which can be set for 60, 75, or 99 seconds.
The free Journi Blog app leverages the time and location data from your photos and arranges them on a map, even if you upload them all at once. You can add some written context to each photo and invite friends and family to live vicariously through you as your travels unfold.
Your trips are viewable as timelines or in map mode and you can order photo books directly from the company when you get back home. Kind of like Google Photos but completely dedicated to your trip and the content you create on the way.
