Practical applications for motorists' phones
Like it or not, the smartphone has become an integral part of our daily lives. Beyond news, Facebook and other hobbies, the smartphone is also a tool and is now part of the everyday driving experience. Virtually all automakers now include Apple CarPlay and Android auto in infotainment systems. At the same time, it opens up a new world for users. Today we offer you applications that we find interesting and that will make your life as a driver more enjoyable and safer.

1- WAZE (FREE)
Why always have to choose between Apple Maps and Google Maps when there is another solution. Try Waze instead. It provides the same information as the other two, but its strength lies in the data provided by the users, which allows the route to be changed in real time to avoid traffic. It also shows where the police are on patrol, the most dangerous potholes and all kinds of little things.

5- PRIVACY4CARS (FREE)
Here is a very practical application for people like us, automotive journalists who change cars every week. Cars interact with smart phones. Every time you get into a new vehicle and plug in your cell phone, you're leaving data behind. The Privacy4Cars app helps you save time (and avoid frantic Google searches) by providing you with simple, step-by-step instructions on how to remove your personally identifiable information from any car. Like that, it is neither seen nor known.

6- MILELQ (FREE)
You are one of those who have to report your travel expenses for work. MileLQ automatically performs this task. No more long and tedious calculations. You just need to put in the basic information and the app does the rest.

7 - FINDMYCAR (FREE)
Raise your hand those of you who have ever lost their cars in a mall or outdoor parking lot. The aptly named Findmycar uses your phone's GPS to locate your car based on a previously saved location. After a show night, for example, you just need to open the app to see the last recorded position of your car. It also displays the real-time distance to your car and the best direction to walk, depending on the surroundings. Find My Car also needs an active internet connection to retrieve data.

8- RADARBOT (FREE)
Radarbot is marketed as the only application that combines real-time alerts and precise detection of police radars by GPS. It is also legal and uses sounds or vibrations to alert you to the presence of fixed speed cameras, mobile speed cameras (if reported by users), tunnel speed cameras and traffic light speed cameras, as well as dangerous traffic areas. Not to mention the community behind the app has 2 million drivers around the world.
