Cool.
Checked out that hazmat hero.
They've lowered the price to 3.99 too.
Also have a trial version.
Thx. Good info.

 

Weatherbug.
Let's you plug in cities along your route.
Have option of getting severe weather alerts for those selected cities.
Great for tornadoes season. And winter weather advisories.
Couple websites I use regularly.
Both to check out states road conditions.
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/trafficinfo/
www.safetravelusa.com
Of course google maps, that satellite view is great to see what a customers layout looks like prior to getting there, and get real time traffic.

 

Convertpad.
A conversion app. Converts just about anything. Lbs to kgs or visa versa. Mph to km. Feet to meters. Just about anything.

Flixster. For finding nearby movie theaters and what's showing.

Redbox for finding closest redbox movie rental kiosk. Wish they'd put red boxes in truckstops.

Beyondpod for all my podcast needs.

Nascar 2013 app, well for nascar, gets the radio broadcast too.

 

Not sure. Probably.
What I like about weather bug is that if you enable alerts. You'll get alerts for cities that you plugged in. As well as your current location.
Again. A plus if in tornado alley. And will give you winter weather advisories.
Plus has radar that's keyed in from your gps location.
I'd guess most are similar. I'm just used it.
Also reference NOAA @ wwww.weather.gov

 

Yeah, I use it, but also iPP Podcast Player for some freaky podcasts.
