Useful phone-to-car connectivity apps that many people may not know about?
With the rapid development of technology, many applications connecting smartphones to cars have been born to support drivers, bring interesting personalized experiences and safer journeys.
Speed Tracker
Speed Tracker works like a speedometer on your smartphone. It uses the GPS on your phone to locate your location and measure the speed of your car.
What is special is that the application displays the vehicle's speed in large numbers. The person sitting in the back seat can also read it and remind the driver in case the driver exceeds the speed limit without realizing it.
Parkify
Have you ever lost your car in a giant parking lot? Instead of searching for each license plate, use Parkify, an app that helps you locate your parked car.

Parkify allows you to locate your car's parking spot. |
You just need to open the application, mark the location on the mini map where you parked your car, then follow this location to find your parking spot. Easy, right? You can also mark the parking spot of multiple cars at once with this application.
Waze
Waze is one of the most popular navigation apps in the world. This app is capable of providing users with data about traffic jams. Imagine, when you are in a hurry to go somewhere, Waze will tell you about the traffic jams happening so that you can avoid that route.
Very useful, right? Now, Waze developers have added new useful features such as measuring vehicle speed and locating parking lots.
Google Maps
Another navigation app that is also very useful for you when driving in Vietnam is Google Maps. In fact, Google Maps is even more popular and familiar to drivers than Waze. These two apps work similarly with one basic difference being the interface.

Google Maps has a distinct advantage in that it can provide you with data-based services: stores, stations near the location you are looking for. Both applications are useful, easy to use and very user-friendly. You can experience both and choose the application that suits you better. Interestingly, Google acquired Waze in 2013.
Apple CarPlay /Android Auto
Android Auto and Apple Carplay are smart application systems installed on cars to use phone features using an interface that appears on the car screen.
With these two apps, you can control smartphone apps on the car screen. You can also connect Google Assistant or Siri to the car screen. You won't need to take your hands off the wheel to answer the phone, listen to incoming messages, and reply to messages.
