blog 35Packing up the car and heading out of Chesapeake, Virginia, promises a well-deserved break with the family. If you are planning a road trip for this upcoming holiday season, then you might be looking for ways to even further improve your family’s vacation. These five tech items can help better your road trip in ways that you might have previously thought impossible.

Coffee Cup Power Inverter

Instead of fighting over who gets to use the DC connector in the car to charge various mobile devices, you can invest in a Coffee Cup Power Inverter. These whimsical power inverters plug into the DC outlet and then provide more than enough space to charge everyone’s favorite devices. With two 120-volt outlets and a USB port, you can keep phones and other devices fully charged throughout your road trip, keeping everyone happy.

GoPro With Car Dash Mount

In a world full of convenient and accessible technologies, capturing obscure moments has become a common practice. With a GoPro, you can do just that. These little cameras can go virtually anywhere and capture gorgeous videos and photos along the way. Be sure to grab a dash mount for this gadget, too, so that you can record hilarious road trip moments and amazing scenery as you drive to and from your destination.

Mobile Satellite TV Receiver

If you plan on camping or roughing it in a motel while on your road trip, then your family will love having a mobile satellite TV receiver. These cool tools can pick up satellite signals where you are and play your favorite TV shows from your subscribed service. You’ll need a TV and the proper hookups, but a few minutes of setup time are well worth it.

4G LTE Mobile Hotspot

Some newer cars already come equipped with their own Wi-Fi, but not everyone benefits from such a cool feature in their vehicle yet. But just because your car doesn’t have Wi-Fi shouldn’t mean that you have to use data for everything. Independent 4G LTE Mobile Hotspots exist for this very reason. You and the family can enjoy traveling with Wi-Fi, which works great for both the car and for hotels that are lacking in free internet services.

Headrests With Built-In LCD Monitors

Like Wi-Fi, most newer cars come with LCD monitors, but there are still a lot of drivers out there who don’t have this feature in their vehicles. To keep the kids happy when the miles start to get long, these monitors can play their favorite movies. Some models even have an AUX port, which can connect a video game controller, giving kids the option to play games while you and your significant other focus on getting to your destination safely.

Of course, the cool tech tools don’t stop there. With a hotspot, traveling TV, and a charger to keep everything up and running, your road trip should be as exciting as it can be. All you will have to worry about is getting to your destination, and getting back to Chesapeake, safe and sound.
