Winter help
The free Winter Survival Kit app for smartphones helps motorists prepare for winter driving, and is a beacon when things go badly. It can pinpoint your location, call 911 and monitor how long the gas will hold out. It can also send an alert when you tap a big red button that reads, "I'm Stranded!"
Free, app stores
