GPS Navigation & Map Apps
Maps.Me
This offline maps solution is great for when you are in areas where signal and data is an issue.
The app allows you to download the needed maps at home and then use it on the road without any internet connection.
You are also able to import maps from various other mapping solutions.
It also offers searchable points of interest (POI) like hotels, restaurants and camp-sites.
This one is a life saver when you are in areas without signal.
Rever
Though this app is still slowly gaining interest in South Africa, it is definitely one to keep following.
It is great to use for custom route-planning that can export to a number of different formats including GPX.
You can then use these exported files in Maps.Me for on route directions and navigation.
iOverlander
This app is community-based that anyone can add points of interest to.
This app is great to use to find information on camping, wild camping, informal camping, hotels, hostels, restaurants, mechanics, clean water sources, border posts, police check-points.
Once you start using this app you will realize how valuable it is!
Air BnB
By now most of us know about AirBnB and the services they offer.
It still remains a great way to find affordable accommodation while you are on a bike trip.
Couch Surfing
Couch Surfing is as the name states, cheap accommodation where like minded individuals open their homes for travelers.
The accommodation is offered for free or a cheap rate in exchange for good company.
This is true authentic accommodation as you will get to spend some time with the locals of the town, learn more about the town, share travel stories, and save a lot of money on accommodation.
EatSleepRide
Another app to keep your eye on though they are not yet very big in South Africa.
This app offers accommodation, traffic accident information on the road, and is also a tracking app.
