There are a lot of technical "toys", that can help you to make hitchhiking easier, safer or just collect informations and statistics about your trips. A mobile version of hitchwiki is available at '''[http://m.hitchwiki.org/ m.hitchwiki.org]'''. You can also use your mobile device to browse hitchwiki.org offline: [[Hitchwiki:While offline]].

Regardless of the iDevice having a GPS fuctionality or not, you can find torrents online of GPS software which you can put on and use simply as maps. This is great because it means you basically know where most gas stations are on your route and don`t make mistakes of getting out too late in the middle of nowhere. Maps of Europe and Middle east are very good from the company IGO.
You can also put dictionaries on there and maybe the hitchphrases pdf.

- Slower lookup compared to paper due to its 3,5" screen<br>
- Ratings and specifics of Hitchwiki spots are not included. This can be solved by converting the daily xml dump files to .aar, as explained [http://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchwiki:While_offline#Aard_Dictionary/ here] and open them in Aard dictionary. I'm still looking at this.
