What 3 words

The What3Words mobile App is a very clever location finder. The application has been designed to encode geographic coordinates into three dictionary words. The encoding is permanently fixed. So you are able to identify any 3 meter squared location with three words.

Strava is another free to use App that can track your walks, hikes and cycles you do on your Campervan Roadtrip. The App will show the route you took and also the time taken to complete.

The Strava App is a super application to have if you are planning on ‘bagging’ any of Scotland’s Munro’s. You are able to upload photos taken during your activity and share your route with pictures included on your social media profiles.

Google maps

Our last App recommendation is likely one most people will already have installed so we will keep this brief.

Google Maps is still worth mentioning however. It serves as a fantastic SatNav. The App is also very useful for finding Petrol Stations, Cafe’s, Supermarkets and even Campsites during your Campervan Holiday.
