What are the best apps for travelling in a camper? Below we propose to explain which are the best that we have tried and those that we cannot fail to recommend for your camper or motorhome trips.
There are for all tastes and they are becoming more functional every day. Here is our selection of the best apps for motorhome travel:
- Caramaps: A very complete application with a very careful design. Caramaps has about 60,000 places located on a map where you can filter by services, types of areas, campsites, parking lots, and much more. In addition, the same application allows you to trace a route by guiding you. You can create stages in which to sleep, stop to rest, etc. As it works both from your mobile and from the website, it can be very useful if you want to plan something before getting behind the wheel and setting off. You can make your routes or mark new points of interest that are not yet on the map so that other people can also enjoy them. Finally, it has a geochat. It allows you to connect with other people near your location. This way you can meet people if you feel like it or clear up doubts from the chat of the same app.
- Park4night: There is the possibility of consulting its map on the website itself and in the mobile application. It has about 130,000 referenced sites, distributed in more than 45 countries. One of the interesting functions of the application is the “around me” button, or “around a place” which will indicate the referenced points that the map has in the vicinity. A series of icons will indicate at a glance the type of location and the services it has. Like Caramaps, it is the users themselves who make and give content to the app. You can comment on the status of the locations or even upload photos.
- Furgo Perfectos: Created mainly by the users of the most famous Spanish-language camper and motorhome forum: furgovw. If you like the camper world, you have surely already visited the forum at some point. A perfect place to consult or ask questions from all over the camper world. The Furgo Perfectos app has an infinite number of interesting spots (many in the Iberian Peninsula) with a very intuitive and functional interface, and countless comments of great value from its community. We definitely recommend that you try it so that you can evaluate it for yourself.
- Waze: It is the alternative to Google Maps. You can customize it by indicating the model of vehicle you drive and thus it will readjust some of the parameters. Through this app you will get real-time traffic information.
- Petrol and Diesel Spain: Who doesn’t want to save a few euros when filling up with petrol? With this app you can see fuel prices throughout Spain, also updated according to data from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. You can see it in list format, on the map or on the route that you establish yourself. You can also sort the result by distance or price, as you prefer.
- The weather: Another travel application that we cannot forget is one to see the weather. Traveling in a camper allows you to change your plan easily and move around in search of the best weather. With applications like this one, moving away from the areas with the greatest storms will be easier. With this, the weather will no longer be a setback.
- AllTrails: Probably if you like to travel by camper, you will like hiking and nature. AllTrails is an application that allows you to find routes for walking, running, cycling, among others, wherever you go. There is a free version and a pro version (€2.50/month) with more options.
- Wikiloc: It will help you find mountain routes, with bicycles, hiking, mountaineering, etc. Without a doubt, it is a very complete application that you will love. It has a Premium version that can be tried for 15 days. Then, if you liked it, you can choose between two payment methods: Quarterly (€4.99) and annual (€9.99). By upgrading to the Premium version, you will be able to use the app offline, search for routes by passing areas, send the routes to your GPS (for example if you have an Apple Watch), share your location with other people, weather warnings, etc.
