When we go on car and motorcycle trips with friends we use an iPhone app called Trip Splitter which lets you very easily and quickly enter shared expenses and who paid. At the end of the trip the app tells you the simplest payments to get even.

Droid/Google Maps and voice navigation. Amazingly powerful, and the speech recognition really works. The traffic/satellite layers are superb. I gave away my Garmin Nuvi after they wanted $169 or something just to update the maps.

The nice part is on the way there the kids were able to read the write ups about the places and decide where…

An app my wife and I use all the time for our three vehicles is Gas Cubby for the iPhone (not to be confused with Gas Buddy).
