Best Apps For Drivers

With it now officially being summer, road trips are extremely popular! It's a good idea to have a great navigation app that offers more than just turn-by-turn directions. Grab your favorite app with a playlist or Pandora and you're all set to hit the road!

I've personally defined a solid navigation app that offers turn-by-turn directions, bicycle routes, traffic updates, and access to offline maps. If you're after extra features, there are apps for finding the quickest way to hit dozens of stops, apps for planning the ultimate road trip, and apps to navigate you around traffic jams. Here's a list of best apps for drivers.
