‘APPY TRAILS
Technology has made our lives easier in so many ways, and this is especially so when it comes to communication. Not many people these days are without a mobile phone, and the proliferation of smartphones — and tablets — have made planning a trip, navigating it while you’re on the road, and staying entertained even easier.
Having information at your fingertips about campsites, fuel locations, dump sites and great bushwalks is immeasurably convenient. Need a bush camp? No worries. Low on fuel? An app can help you out. Feel like an Elton John playlist on a long and boring stretch of road? Got you covered.
Of course, many apps require data to work, or at least regular Wi-Fi (there’s an app to find that!), and phone memory to store downloaded information when offline, so before you download 100 apps and expect them all to work, check your phone’s memory capacity (might be a good excuse to upgrade) and check in with your telco provider to see what your data allowance is.
