5 Free Apps For an Epic Road Trip

There is no better feeling then cruising down the open road with the windows down and your latest Road Trip 2016 mix blasting. Often times this feeling is short lived. As the trip drags on and your copilot gets hangry, you run into a traffic jam, and you end up down a back road with no plans for the night. You had good intentions of this being a character building trip with the family, but it has turned into an all out screaming match and you are second guessing what you got yourself into. These 5 free apps will help keep your family bonding experiment on course.

1.  The Traveler: This is a great app to organize your entire trip as you go. Your virtual road trip scrapbook allows you to capture photos and videos and mark them on a map as you move along your journey. Compatible with Google maps, it takes pictures and videos through the apps action bar. Available for Android
   
   
   
2. RoadTrippers: Are you making your annual migration to see relatives? Spice things up a bit with the RoadTrippers app for iOS. This app helps you discover the road less traveled by finding obscure small businesses and attractions on your custom route.

5. Field Trip: Are you a history buff or museum fanatic? This free Google app will alert you of historical sites, architecture, entertainment, and more.
