A road trip is about much more than filling your car up with fuel and setting off for a long drive. There is a surprising number of things you need to organise and research before you set off, but with your Apple products you have all of the tools you need available to you for free and together they can help control every aspect of your trip. There are third-party apps that can bring a centralised method for planning a trip which we will touch upon, but Apple has built in most of the solutions you will need, and with iCloud they all work very well together. There is never a point where too much planning will be a waste of time because you must aim to avoid complications on a human or vehicular level in a foreign place at all costs. A road trip naturally brings together many parts that are hard to control and the more you can do in the early stages, the more likely you are to have an enjoyable experience. The trick is to use your Apple hardware and software to provide more control, without the need to organise for long periods every day.
Places to stay
Throughout a road trip, especially if you are not using a Camper Van, you will need to be careful regarding where you stay. With multiple stops likely it is possible that you will end up in some unsatisfactory places on occasion, but there are ways you can use your Apple products to ensure the places you stay are worthy.
1 The plan
You will need to carefully work out where you need to stay, for how long in each location and the costs associated with each. The Calendar app will sort this for you.
2 Compare the costs
Apps like AirBNB are useful
