Australian Road Trips

24th Jan 2012
Drew Patchell

Are you heading on a road trip this year? Drew reviews an iPhone app that will keep you up-to-date with fun facts and picturesque places to visit on your trip around Australia.

Australian Road Trips is an interactive iPhone application that provides you with helpful information about locations near you while you’re travelling. When I visited Port Macquarie over the holidays, I used this handy application to find out about the area and the events on offer. Using the application was simple. I browsed through the list and found Port Macquarie. After clicking on the name, I was provided with the history of the city, local events and activities with hyperlinks to more information. I could even click the location of Port Macquarie and feed it into my navigation application to take me there from my current location. Once you get to know how the application works (took me about five to ten minutes) it is very simple to navigate and find what you want.

I can see this application being of great help to any traveller, young or old, who is taking to the roads around Australia.

RRP $4.49

Is it possible to get it on a computer? We have not upgraded to an Iphone yet, but can see that it will be very soon with the way things are going, but as traveller, we need the blue tick, and iphones don't seem to have that.
