The rapid proliferation of smart phone technology has made the smart phone a potent tool in many situations. It is now an essential accessory for travel, whether you are on holiday or travelling on business. Here are some popular and extremely useful applications for travelers:

NAVIGON MobileNavigator 7 North America

This application turns your smart phone into a navigation device that rivals dedicated navigation hardware. It offers such features as text to speech instructions, “go home” setting and route planning as well as 2-D/3-D map views.

Handy Weather for S60 7.0

This application provides continuously updated five day weather information for over 40,000 cities. Other features include maps, customised views and hourly forecasts.

TrackyPro (online Google Maps with GPS)

This is essentially an off-road navigation application. You can use it for such diverse purposes as hiking or mountain biking, skiing, driving or sailing. If you have ever driven your car in the woods, your built-in GPS navigation device in the car is not very useful since it depends on the existence of roads. You have access to a large compass as well as speed, altitude and slope devices. Whether you are driving or sailing or just hiking, you will have access to voice assisted navigation. Finally, you have access to online Google maps.

You should remember that not all of these applications work on all smart phones so you should check the compatibility which the particular smart phone that you are using. There are hundreds of applications available; go online and check out other applications that suit your personal requirements.

Furthermore, remember to travel smart and check out cheap flights so that you can make the most of your travel budget.
