Hi,  

As only new here since last week, there was a man somewhere on one of the posts who is very techo....At the side of one of his posts there was a list of apps than you can download for your phone etc.   I was amazed at some of them.   Unfortunately I didn't do a screenshot of it etc, so now I can't find it.    Can anyone help me with his please.

There are a couple of apps for van levelling that could be handy, they only work with smart phones that have the correct sensors in them, check the directions to see how to check whether your phone complies.

Talking Caravan Level This one talks to your car radio (or other audio device) by WiFi.

Stay Level - Caravan Levelling App This one requires two phones that talk to each other via BlueTooth or WiFi, only one of them needs to have the sensors.

Hi PeterD

Yes that was on there, it was to the right of the page there was a list of them.   I cannot think for the life of me who posted it as I was only new

I am sure it was husband and wife and they ? were self professed geeks and had all these apps.

Fuel Map is a Great App for getting the cheapest fuel and keeping an eye on fuel costs.

Hi all

After driving myself mental over where I saw half a page nearly at the right hand side of a page with a list of apps. I have been re reading the first issue I got of grey nomads newsletter and the person that posted this info was I am sure they described themselves as self confessed gizmo geeks or something. The name I now think is Phil Crockhard?? Does anyone have his details so I can find out if he can send me the link I mean? Many thanks There is a feature in the newsletter I got today with him and his wife, I am positive that was the name. Thanks

Thanks for the compliments Jules, I have PMed Furball and will hopefully be able to help.

I may put my fuel economy spreadsheet up when I figure out how to get it onto the forum with formulas etc.

Hope all is well in your part of the world
