Canadian Maritime Rally - smart phone apps for this trip.


It’s a good idea to make sure you have one or more smart phone apps to perform the following tasks:
  • Translate French road signs to English as we are driving down the road.
  • Translate your speech to French providing both an audio and text output. In addition translate the person you are talking with from French to English with both an audio and text output.
  • Find fuel stops along our route and identify current prices wherever possible. Since we are traveling in small groups it might be helpful to identify truck stops.
  • Be able to text other members of the traveling group if necessary. This is more of an iPhone problem.
  • Use the smart phone as a backup to your GPS, if your GPS stops working. This needs to continue working irrespective of whether you have a cell phone signal.
  • Provide information about public transportation in Ottawa along with what activities are available for free on Canada Day.
The list of app’s we use to accomplish the tasks above can be found in the Maritime blog at http://keithc1402.blogspot.com along with prior group communications.
