Google Maps
Whether you’re an iPhone owner or prefer Android, Google Maps is the must-have app for getting from point A to point B. You can get directions for walking and public transportation as well as driving save your searches and routes and listen to turn-by-turn directions from your mobile. Once you get to your destination, you’re able to search for nearby businesses and even see ratings from other users. Google Maps includes street views, 3D maps and indoor maps where available.
ParkMe
After you’ve finished you’re journey, you’ll need someplace to park. Parking can be cumbersome and expensive in the city, which is why ParkMe is the next app on this list.

Texting While Driving
You know that texting while driving is unsafe, but it’s so hard to take your eyes from you phone at some times. Texting While Driving is an app available from Google Play for your Android phone.

Once you install the app, you start your driving course by setting a driving interval. The app then turns off notifications when you get a new SMS. Texting While Driving saves scannable coupons until you redeem them.
