Here are some of our favourite apps and websites to use when road tripping the NC500!
Google Maps - our favourite map for navigating. Don't forget to download the maps so you can use them offline as signal can be very patchy!

AllTrails - a great app for hiking
Met Office Weather Forecast- an awesome weather app!
Aurora Watch UK Aurora Alerts- a fantastic app to track the hot spots for the Northern Lights
Toilet Finder is a great one for finding public toilets!
Tides Near Me is a great app for checking tide times. Super important when you are exploring the coast.
Petrol Prices is a super helpful app to look for petrol stations!
Booking.com or Airbnb are great apps for checking out accommodation
Midge forecast - an awesome website to indicate the midge levels across areas of Scotland
