Best Travel Apps For iPhone And Android

6.) Google Goggles

Google Goggles is by far the coolest Google Search app.  Google Goggles lets you take a picture of anything you come across and provides you with useful information on the object snapped with some pretty impressive image recognition technology.  Take pictures of books and DVDs, landmarks, logos, contact info, artwork, businesses, products, and barcodes in order to search the web for your photo.  You can even snap images of text that needs to be translated.

7.) GasBuddy

No one wants to spend all their vacation money on overpriced gas.  Luckily GasBuddy maps out the cheapest gas prices in your local area.  As gas prices soar so high that you contemplate March Of The Penguin tactics, GasBuddy is a must-have application for both short and long road trips (and driving in general).  GasBuddy doesn’t only find the cheapest and closest gas stations, but this app also rewards prizes when you report local gas prices.  You might even be so fortunate as to win one of GasBuddy’s weekly $250 gas gift card giveaways!
