Here are four essential apps to make your journey easier as compiled by tempo.co:

Similar to Google Maps, this app is already popular among city commuters. It comes with route choices, estimated time of arrival and a virtual assistant that serves as a guide to your destination.
Aside from traffic jam information, Waze also informs its users about road accidents, weather conditions, roadworks and police raids.
