The automotive industry is changing and what was utopia a decade ago is already standard today. Not only are the vehicles themselves constantly evolving, but also the technology around them. Applications for smartphones or tablets offer more and more options to support car journeys. Which apps are particularly valuable and which little helper offers more quality in life with the vehicle?
Navigate optimally
Many ways to optimize your car journey, such as automatic fuel saving, are already integrated into vehicles by the manufacturer. Others can be installed by clever hobby tuners themselves. The logical extension of the possibilities is to install apps on mobile devices.

- Waze (useful information thanks to connection to the community)
- Magic Earth (more than 200 offline maps and high data protection)

Modern vehicles already have a lot of technology on board. The parking aid is particularly practical and so is it The spacer in the car has great advantages. But in order for the mobile vehicle to get from A to B easily, it needs fuel. The prices at the gas stations differ significantly. Apps help you to always be in the picture. These usually show fuel prices, opening times and further information about the respective gas station. Recommended are:

Other apps help with daily needs, which can quickly become a problem, especially on longer journeys. Where is the nearest toilet and how long does it take to get to the quiet place? The following apps show it:
- Toilet Scout (not free, but offers access to data from more than two million public toilets)
- Toilet Finder (free alternative, significantly smaller selection)
