3. Copilot GPS is Lauren’s number-one site for mapping her family’s travel path, because it allows you to tailor routes according to your vehicle’s unique specifications. Adjust to suit road capacity, height and weight measures, and traffic situations.

4. You’ve probably heard of GasBuddy, which finds the cheapest prices along your route for all types of gas. Plan ahead and you can save big bucks!
