Mobile Apps Essentials?
Please share you most essential apps for overlanders...
Here are some of my most essential iPhone apps for adventures: Google Maps Google Earth TomTom Navigator (turn by turn GPS nav) Flashlight Spotify (can't live without my music) Dropbox (backup) DropPhox (dropbox for photos) YR (Weather forecast in Norwegian) TimeLapse (create time lapse videos) Places (by google) Find my iPhone GPS Tracker (integrate it with a map on your blog) Viber (like skype, just better) Skype (where Viber falls short) Pakkeliste (a packing list in Norwegian) Radio (app for Norwegian internet radio stations) ATM Hunter (find that cash machine) Amazon (for e-books) GDrive (similar to Gwizz) Youtube Vimeo Tapatalk (for fast and easy use of forums) Fuel manager (a bit basic) G-Whizz! (to access google documents, and more) Glympse (share your location - i.e. when you are trying to find each other) Geocaching (not so essential, but great fun when you travel) Wi-Fi Finder (find free wi-fi hot spots) I am looking for an app where I can manage fuel consumption, estimate range, fuel costs, service and repair costs, etc - anyone know of a great one? I would also really like an illustrated travel dictionary - universal, just point at the pictures...

Great list Stephen, downloaded a bunch straight away - there are some really useful apps there.
Surfy - I allready have the "Road trip" app, but it lacks a dashboard with gauges showin fuel remaining and range. Fuel Manager by ultim8 does that, but doesn't store your data and lacks everything "road trip" has. A hybrid of these two would be perfect. I downloaded the MotionX GPS and will test it out. Thanks for sharing

I was trying to think what this is about..... thanks for the prompt. I'm determined to try a sheepskin coat as a riding jacket one day. Ted Simon wrote that it was the best bit of kit he had, devastated when he lost it. So that's my 'app'(!)
