GPS navigation is one of the most useful features on your smartphone,
especially when you're in unfamiliar locations. I know I rely on it
when I'm traveling, which is often.
The only drawback is that with most map apps you have to have an
Internet connection to load the maps, addresses and points of interest.
If you're trying to save on cellular data, avoid roaming charges, or are
traveling somewhere with a sketchy connection, that's a problem. If you
lose your connection, you're lost.
Sure you could buy a map book, or take along a folding paper map, but
that's just something else to carry and juggle while you're walking
around. That's why I want to tell you about the City Maps 2 Go Pro -
Offline Map and Travel Guide app.
City Maps 2 Go has thousands of maps of destinations across the globe
at your disposal, without ads, and without an Internet connection.
Once the app is downloaded, select the country you wish to view and
narrow your search from there. There are full maps of the area complete
with fun points of interests like the area's most popular restaurants,
shops, attractions, hotels, bars and more. You can browse by category or
discover nearby places using your device’s GPS.
Plan out your trip by creating lists of pinned places, like that
tourist trap you've always wanted to visit, or your hotel. Want to know
more about a certain place in particular? The app has tips and tricks
from other travelers who have visited where you want to go. You can
share your own experiences and tidbits you've picked up along the way as
well.
And City Maps 2 Go doesn't just work in the car. It can give you walking directions, too!
City Maps has thousands of locations, but there's a small chance the
place you want to visit isn't in the database. If that happens, you can
send an email to its support team, and they will create it for you, on
the spot
