In past years, certain trends were spotted, like an infatuation with crossover vehicles—not quite SUVs and not quite sedans.

Then, with the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS) of satellites, a host of gadgets flooded the market, offering turn-by-turn navigation via downloaded content, CDs or DVDs. And still people wrestled—except this time with suction-cup devices designed to affix the bulky units to windshields.  Now however, getting from point A to point B is all in the palm of your hand with smartphones. With that summer road trip just around the corner, here’s a roundup of the best mapping apps for iPhone and Android devices.

Whether it’s a deluge of rain in the South or a freak snowstorm in the West, the next month or two can be summed up in one word: unpredictable.   That’s why we advocate having an emergency kit in your car trunk—while ForeverCar can handle all the details if you have a breakdown, just waiting out a storm by the side of the road requires a few special items. What’s more, there are some minor setbacks that can be handled with a few well-placed items of emergency gear.
