Free smart phone app handles all your road trip calculations

If you're one of those RVers who likes to keep a record of every penny you spend on vehicle maintenance, gas, oil, plus mileage, miles-per-gallon and every other aspect of your travels here's a smart phone application you should try.

It's called Road Trip Lite and it's free from a company called Darrensoft. The company claims it's "the fastest and easiest way to keep track of your car’s fuel economy and maintenance expenses on your iPhone or iPod touch. (Also available for Android phones)" and that claim is echoed by reviewers from CNet, ZDNet and Mashable.

This is just one of the many screens of information you get from Road Trip. For more, visit the website:  darrensoft.ca/roadtrip/ and click on "Screenshots".
