A good smartphone can replace a motorist navigator, radar and even a video recorder. The main thing is to download the right applications. Today I will tell you about the most useful ones that will find your car in any city, check the engine and show you the way without traffic jams.
Waze
A navigator that “doesn’t dumb down” is number one among the best apps for motorists. Waze is more responsive to traffic jams, police checkpoints, and new traffic information than the more popular Yandex. Navigator and Google Maps. Another difference is that Waze gives information based on both its system and drivers’ reports. Registered users can communicate with each other and notify each other of different traffic situations. So, any route will be updated quickly with the new information. And the best way to use Waze is on the Navitel N500 Magnetic navigator with a large touch screen.

«First Aid»
Simple step-by-step instructions and videos from the Red Cross Society show you how to administer first aid not only in an accident, if you’re doing it for the first time. There are interactive tests to assess your knowledge and tips for safety in extreme conditions, such as flooding or avalanches. The app has emergency numbers – you can call rescuers or medics in any country where the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society operates.
Spotify
The largest music database, which even has a special “Behind the Wheel” mode. There’s a free version of the app with ads, no music downloads, and a listening limit of only 6 songs in a row. So it’s easier to save your nerves and buy a paid subscription: the first three months are free. If you have an old car, then install a Telefunken TF-FMT31BT FM modulator in the cigarette lighter and listen to your favorite music.
«Lawyer Online»
This is one of the best apps for a driver to communicate with the police or other drivers. Lawyers tell you how to behave in different situations, as well as remind you of your rights. The app is free, and it even has a lawyer call – a nice bonus.
Mapcam
This is a useful app for drivers that is regularly updated and shows all the radars on the road. For each, you can individually set the type of warning (at what distance and what signal to notify). There are two types of databases: free with 5 types of speed cameras and violations, and paid – with more than 20. But if the application is not enough, it is better to buy Neoline X-COP 9300 DVR with built-in radar and shock recording function. Plus – it records in 1920×1080 pixels resolution with detail in any light.
«AutoExpense»
The free app will record fuel, insurance, parking or maintenance costs. The app also reminds you of regular payments, such as for insurance or an upcoming oil change. And for those who like to control absolutely everything, there are charts that are updated every month.
MultiGo
A free app that monitors gasoline prices in real time. The best app for motorists on “Android” and iOS in long journeys, when you need to find not only the nearest gas station, but also every ruble in the account. There is also a function “I’m here”, it will send a text message with your location for a tow truck, and it will also help you book a hotel through the app. For convenient route tracking, set your smartphone with the opened program on the magnetic holder Deppa Mage CD Mini Black and monitor the information without distracting from the road.
GAS STATION.GO
With this application you can conveniently and profitably pay for fuel from your cell phone. It is a personal assistant at the gas station – will tell you the gas station with the best price for fuel, help to make an order and pay for it, as well as remember your preferences, which is convenient for the next refueling. The app is free.
IStrelka (“Anti-Radar Strelka”)
If you do not know which apps for IOS or “Android” motorists are the best to find radars, download “Strelka”. It will warn about stationary cameras and traffic police posts in the background. For each type of warning you can set your own notification (melody, voice, vibration) and the distance at which it will warn of “danger” – 1-2 kilometers, 300-1000 meters or 50-300 meters.
“Yandex.Music”
Application with 17 million tracks, music selections and personal recommendations. The application is free, but with a single subscription to the services of “Yandex.Plus”, you can listen to an unlimited number of songs and “Yandex.Radio” without advertising. Without a subscription – settle for just the radio and the recommended selection.
2GIS
This is a free directory with a handy city navigator, an offline map and contacts of organizations. There is an anti-radar feature with warnings about traffic police posts and speed cameras. And now attention! Enjoy the convenience of online scheduling and instantly make any necessary upcoming service appointments with ease—including arranging for contactless vehicle pickup and drop-off with participating dealers. Only here you will find all necessary opportunities for your car!
“Ray Anti-Radar”
The program is one of the top applications for motorists – because it has an anti-radar and DVR in one. It recognizes up to 10 types of cameras, and records in cyclic mode (the recording is saved in the phone memory or on the SD-card, so the duration of one cycle depends on the amount of available memory). The application works in 16 countries (Europe and USA, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) in Russian, English and German languages. For convenience, place your smartphone with “Ray Anti-Radar” on the InterStep “Gravity” holder with adjustable clips.
CamOnRoad
The augmented reality navigation evaluates the road situation and records video to the cloud. Therefore, there is no need to constantly delete files on your smartphone. The app is free. It is ideal to use it on the Digma DCM-432 car monitor with a small screen of 4.3 inches.
AutoGuard Blackbox
Free app will build the best route and record trips in the background. You can adjust the map in the app by GPS update time and do not worry about turning “wrong”.
Bottom Line
There are more smartphone apps than there are stars in the sky, but there are far fewer useful ones among them. Especially if we’re talking about apps that can come in handy on the road. Not to worry, we scoured the Apple Store and Google Play for you in search of the most useful programs for people with gasoline in their blood and told you in this article. We hope it was useful to you.
