Whether the travel is for business or pleasure, a well-organized trip is always less stressful than hunting for maps, phone books and trying to find a hotel or restaurant while on the road. These five apps will help you make the most of your trip by helping you plan in advance and backing you up if you run into unforeseen circumstances while away from home.The PhoneBook Yellow Pages is a free app that brings the familiar Yellow Pages to your fingertips in the car or at the hotel. This app will help you find a restaurant, a towing company or a doctor even if you don't know the first thing about your location. If you get a traffic ticket while on the road you can instantly find a local attorney. If you're traveling with pets and have an emergency you can look up the closest veterinarian. You'll never have to worry about searching for a phone book again or stopping and asking for recommendations.
TripIt is a travel organizer that lets you put your itinerary, contacts and meetings together in one app so that you don't have to search your inbox or calendar for phone numbers or meetings times. TripIt is a great app for anyone going on the road, but it's especially helpful for business travelers with multiple meetings and flights to catch. For a free app, TripIt packs a lot of punch. It even plans your itinerary for you, leaving you with one less thing to worry about.
MapsWithMe is a free app with a great benefit: you don't have to be online to use it. Get maps anywhere in the world, even if you can't get a Wi-Fi signal. You can even look for restaurants and read travel guide articles while offline.
Lonely Planet Travel Guides is a free app which allows you to purchase the travel guide for your location. Travel guides for major cities typically cost 5.99 through the app. This is another app that works while offline and saves you the space and aggravation of carrying a book with you while you're walking.
Tanslation Dictionary is an app that is, amazingly, free. This app would be worth paying for because it allows you to enter text in any language and get a translation. If you're going to be traveling outside the country, this app is a must-have.
With these five apps, you can easily manage your trip and deal with emergencies on the roads and changes in your plans, all without the hassle of carry folding maps and multiple books.
