Was thinking how handy an iphone is when camping/caravanning. Here are some useful apps I'd suggest:-

TomTom Western Europe (cant remember how much it cost) - so you can find the site and store sites as poi's

Highways agency traffic (freebie) so you can find out about delays en route

AR Dispointer pro £11.99 so you can line up your dish with Astra 2D and watch telly in the evening

Toptable - a freebie - so you'll always know where to eat wherever you go. It'll even let you book the restaurant and suggest a suitable wine for your meal.

iBBQ so you can find a butcher and predict the weather for your bar-b-q plus the odd recipe.

Anyone got more ideas?

Someone suggested a CC app but you don't need one. You can just use the site on the internet.

Another good one is TVcatchup, also free with all the favourite TV channels.

I use my iphone loads when caravanning.  Thanks for the hints and tips for some new apps.  My most used apps are:

SitesUK - which is about to be relaunched and i've found it pretty good. Although it has a few bugs at the moment. 

Next Buses - shows you the bus stops around you and when to expect the next bus and where to

Around Me - Free App - which shows you what is around you, restaurants, petrol stations, ATMs, etc etc

Trip Advisor - reviews etc

Sky+ - I either use this to rcord anything i forgot or to check the TV listings while I'm away.

Torch (iphone 4 only) turns your flash into a great bright torch. Way better than the screen torches on the 3g & 3gs

Cyclemeter - probably my favourite app - log and map your ride (or has walk, hike & run mode too).  See where you went, how far it was, the calories burnt, and pit yourself against it for a personal best. 

Ocado - I do a quick shop on the last day or so of the holiday to arrive a couple of hours after I get home to tide me over so I don't have to worry about returning to bare cupboards.

how did we ever cope without one, lol!  As for Android...? nah, I'll stick to my iPhone 4g thank you!  Love it!
