(IT-NEWSWIRE.COM, June 11, 2015 ) Monroe, NJ -- As summer nears closer, many people will find themselves hitting the road for the quintessential summer road trip. Whether it's an alternative to flying in an airplane, or it's to cross "road trip across America" off a bucket list, a road trip is becoming more common amongst many people's vacation plans. Long car rides can be daunting, especially to those who haven't experienced one, so it's important to pack the essential items that keep everyone in the car occupied. Below are PermaCharger's recommendations for how to survive - and enjoy - a road trip.
AAA Emergency Kit – This kit covers all of the angles for being prepared when the worst-case scenarios happen. Within this kit are the following items: 1 heavy-duty booster cable (8-gauge, 10-foot length), 1 hand-charged dual LED flashlight, a 45 piece first-aid kit. 1 AAA emergency care guide, 1 AAA membership brochure, 1 pair of dimpled work gloves, 1 emergency poncho, 1 emergency whistle, 1 flat head screwdriver, 1 Phillips head screwdriver, 1 roll of duct tape, 1 utility knife, 1 bungee cord, 2 shop cloths, and 10 cable ties. All of these items are packed within a AAA double-sided carrying bag.
Portable charger. A portable charger is very convenient to have on hand, especiallyon a road trip. It can charge multiple small electronic devices simultaneously when an electrical outlet is not available. PermaCharger has two power portable battery chargers, which include free accessories to facilitate the users' charging experience. The 8000 mAh portable battery charger model is 7 ounces, and can charge an iPhone 5 up to 4 times and a Samsung Galaxy S5 up to 2 times before it's discharged. The 11000 mAh portable charger model can charge the iPhone 5 up to 5 times, an iPad mini up to 2 times, and a Samsung Galaxy phone up to 4 times before it's discharged. PermaCharger portable chargers are constructed of high-grade lithium-ion batteries and are covered under the company's 1-year, free replacement warranty and 90-Day money-back guarantee.
A GPS and a real map. A GPS (Global Positioning System) device will be helpful in navigating through unfamiliar territory. GPS devices pinpoint the car's exact location and create a route that takes its passengers to their final destination. Many GPS' include traffic updates and alternative route suggestions, in case there is unexpected traffic and/or an accident.
Passengers should also have a physical map packed in their car. Depending on the location, GPS devices might not be 100% accurate and will show different routes to the same destination. Having a map available will allow the driver and passengers to see the route options for themselves and plan a route conducive to their travel needs.
Wireless hotspot. Many hours in the car without Internet access can seem like a living nightmare for some people. For passengers who need Internet for using their laptop, tablet, etc. there are several options to make this a possibility. There are small, portable devices that instantly connect to the Internet and provide laptops, tablets, etc. with Internet service. However, many of these devices have a monthly fee attached to the services provided.
If the driver and/or passenger have a smart phone, it may have a feature to transform their smart phone into a mobile hot spot. This is a great option if people don't want to pay a monthly fee. However, this option will consume data from the cell phone's monthly data plan, so it is important to take that into consideration when figuring out how to get Internet access.
Tablet and head rest mount. These days, owning a tablet is almost as common as owning a smart phone. Tablets are great for Internet browsing, catching up on television shows or movies, and playing games. There are many options available, such as the iPad, Kindle, Nook, etc. Many tablets have Internet capabilities without the use of a mobile hotspot, but this is an additional fee.
A great idea for passengers who are sharing a tablet and want to watch shows/videos while sitting in the backseat is to put the tablet in tablet headrest mount. This makes for easy, hands-free viewing, and is a cheaper alternative to purchasing small screens for the car.
