  • Power Tour Smart Phone Apps

    What are your favorite apps to use on the Power Tour? Last year, I used Google Maps in tandem with my updated Garmin. I liked Google Maps better. Another good app is PureGas. It locates ethanol-free gas stations in the area.

      There is one called Rest Stops. It's a must if you are traveling with kids.

        Sweetness !!!
        I had heard about an ethanol-free station in my town "out near the airport" for years, but nobody could ever tell me exactly where. I just found it !!!
        Thanks !!!

              I use Real Time GPS Tracker 2 You can message friends a link to a site that shows exactly where you are. You must have your phone plugged in and a good data plan because it will eat through both.

              Also you can set it up with friends that have the same app and you can see where they are and where you are on the same map. Or you can open up multiple maps and center them on each friend or your self. Many different options

              It is by greenalp.com Been using it for about 3 years now and it keeps getting better every year. Anyone else that has it that wants to become a friend with me so we can see each other you can PM me and I help you set it up so we both can see each other.

              http://www.greenalp.com/RealTimeTracker/ is the website that i found it at.

                Me too, but I went to their website and looked it up ... my Vette loves 90 octane ethanol-free gas, and she's worth it !

                    I've used the same "GPS" (Gramma Positioning System) for the last 8 Power Tours......and when she says "re-calculating"......I duck!
