A road trip would not be the same without a smartphone. They have literally revolutionized the way in which we are able to now travel both domestically and internationally. That huge paper map that my mum always used to have shoved in the back of the passenger seat seems like an ancient way to figure out a route!
Our smartphones have made travel immeasurably easier than it has ever been before, and to be honest we are all about making travel as easy and stress-free as possible.

Campermate
This is the first of two that we will recommend for all things road tripping. Campermate covers a whole heap of aspects including campgrounds, paid, low cost and free sites, places to stop and fill up your water, toilets, dump stations and more.

It works in both Australia & New Zealand.
