Travelling a lot or being a salesperson and having an Android smartphone can go together. Finding your way around or getting the best prices on gas are some great features Android apps have. Read on to discover some of the best and Cool Android apps for your car.
Tooling around or actually doing work in your car just got a bit easier. Android is a popular operating system for smartphones that has a lot of abilities and applications. This includes applications ( apps ) for your car. Since many states have a law against using a cell phone while driving, look for one that allows you to use without actually handling it. One such Android app is called “Voice Actions”. This one can only be used with the Froyo version of Android (Android 2.2 OS). It sends emails, listens to music, calls, opens a webpage, sends text, gives directions and more. It operates by using your voice instead of your fingers. Is it secure ? There is no word yet on that part, but this new Android app is created by Google.

This next Android app is the best of the best for car owners. It is from Gasbuddy. If you recognize the name, it is from the same people who gave us gasbuddy.com. This is a user-updated app that gives you the cheapest prices for gas in your area. It is updated in real-time and is good for the United States and Canada. It does more than just give prices. This Android app also gives out prizes weekly, sends directions to gas stations and allows you to store it on the MicroSD card. The price is right. It is free.

How about a little “Parkdroid”. This is an Android app that does what the name suggests. It helps you to park your car. If you like to attend baseball or football games or just lose your car a lot, this is your app. All you do is open the Parkdroid app, tag the location, and do whatever it was you were going to do. It comes with a parking meter alarm and web search. It works by using the GPS abilities of your Android smartphone. It supports paying of paid parking areas by using text messages. This is another free app for your Android handset.

Android smartphones come with maps installed from Google. If you learn how to connect your laptop to your Android smartphone, you can pick out locations on the laptop before you drive and send them to your smartphone. This app is not known to help as well as a regular GPS on short trips, so take note. The Android system works better for long voyages. Use your Garmin for the short treks. This app also gives traffic data. The price is free.

Many of these have competitors in their categories. The Gasbuddy app has one that is very similar to it if you live in Ireland. It is appropriately called “TheFuelApp”. The Google direction finder is also inferior to Nokia Ovi Maps, if you also have a Nokia handset.
