It's a great way to get one up on the passengers beside you if they are sick.If you are going on a car trip, be sure your cell phone is charged up and keep it in the car with you.

They provide up to date information related to your destination so you will know in advance if there's a medical or political emergency in the region.

One of the questions I most often get about traveling is the transportation question. "How do I get about when I reach my destination?"
