People who spend a lot
of time driving can get frustrated by the time wasted behind the wheel. The
iPhone can be a great resource in making a driving trip more productive and
enjoyable. There are several iPhone apps that can help a driver avoid the minor
annoyances of the road. In addition to getting directions on their smartphone
using these apps, iPhone owners can find out how economical their driving is
while also accessing latest traffic information. Below is a look at some iPhone
apps that assist in driving.

Sat-navs are ideal for
navigating through unfamiliar territories. However, drivers can find it
difficult to focus on driving while at the same time reading directions on a
sat-nav device. The good news is that there is an iPhone app called Hudway that
can make using a GPS device much safer when driving. This app utilizes a
smartphone as a device for beaming projections onto a vehicle’s windscreen. It
also shows the car’s speed and any upcoming sharp turns. This way, a driver
does not have to look down while driving, while the app can make driving at
night and in severe weather conditions safer.

Most gas retailers have apps for locating their branded stores that come in handy for those using their credit cards. However, there is an iPhone app known as GasBuddy for drivers who just want the cheapest gas. This app shows the ten nearest fuel stations as well as their prices. It is also planning to introduce fuel-station amenities like carwashes to its listings. GasBuddy is ideal for drivers wishing to avoid fuelling up only to find a cheaper fuel station afterwards.

The Trapster app can be
of great help for drivers who are worried about getting a speeding ticket. This
app will help the driver avoid red light cameras, speed traps, accidents, speed
cameras, as well as other random road hazards. However, it is advisable not to
rely too much on the app and always drive at a safe speed. This is because the
app is not totally accurate, meaning the user can still get caught for running
red lights and over speeding even when using it.
