A Bad Elf GPS for travel combines with the right app to remove the uncertainty of traveling to new places, allowing you to enjoy your trip with better information about must see sights, foodie meccas, and other recommended destinations. Add a Bad Elf GPS to your iOS device in your travel bag and always know where you are going. Apps, like Zagat, lead you to good places to eat near your current location. Apps like CityMaps2Go guide you around new places with confidence.
We collected a list of travel apps and accessories to help you enjoy your trips. If you come across an app or accessory that you think we should add to this list, please let us know by using the feedback link.
When you are traveling there are two critical concerns for electronics. Keeping them dry and keeping them powered. We’ve got a few options for you to investigate to meet both concerns.
Solar Charging
You never know when you’ll be able to find an outlet to charge all of your various electronics. A solar charging battery pack that can provide power over USB is an excellent choice for keeping your iOS device charged. With the micro USB cable provided with the Bad Elf GPS, you can easily charge your iOS device with the Bad Elf GPS attached.

Dry Cases
Making sure that your device stays dry and dirt free is critical. We think iPoncho is one of the best options out there. Storing your iOS device in an iPoncho when not using your Bad Elf GPS ensures that a sudden thunderstorm won’t damage your electronics.
