What are two great apps for traveling?

Senior Tips - Uber and Pinpoint Search.

Two things I learned on my trip to Ground Zero and the US Open in New York. First, I used an iPhone app called PinPoint Search to help me navigate and second, I used  the Uber app to get me around without hailing a taxi in the middle of the street. A brief word about each app. 

I loaded all the places I wished to go including restaurants and sites into my iPhone contacts. Then I used Pinpoint Search to place all of these contacts on my map so I could see where each place was relative to the other places I wished to go. That way I could easily visualize what was walkable and what was not and also what was the best sequence of restaurants and sites to see. It worked great.

I used Uber to call a car to pick us up and get us around town. They were never more than a few minutes away and always had comfortable cars. You do not tip Uber drivers and the receipt is emailed to you within minutes. There are some other advantages, but I leave that to discover for yourself if you wish. I loved it.

What apps do you use that make traveling easy for you?
