3 Android Auto apps I still need because Google Maps and Waze can't do everything
I wish Google Maps and Waze were more robust
In my daily commute, Google Maps and Waze have become indispensable tools, saving me precious time and helping me discover new destinations. However, despite their widespread use, no navigation app can fulfill every need. Essential apps like PlugShare, Fuelio, and SpotHero remain crucial companions for my journey.
PlugShare, fueled by community-driven information, enables EV drivers to locate charging stations with ease. By entering my EV's specifications, I can filter for stations with specific amenities and fast-charging capabilities. The app's robust search filters and real-time updates ensure I never waste time searching for a suitable charger. I once found a fast charger on a long highway trip, thanks to PlugShare, ensuring I arrived home in time.
Fuelio takes on the role of an EV owner's accountant, tracking fuel costs, consumption, and spending. The app's affordability and comprehensive features, including real-time gas prices and cost-saving analysis, make it an invaluable asset. While Waze and Google Maps show nearby gas stations, Fuelio offers a more detailed and tailored approach to fuel management.
SpotHero resolves the parking dilemmas that often plague urban environments. Unlike Waze and Google Maps, which only suggest parking spaces, SpotHero allows me to reserve a spot in advance and compare garage prices. This app has saved me valuable time and money, particularly during peak hours when finding a spot can be an arduous task. With SpotHero, I can now focus on my journey rather than circling streets in search of parking.
