City Maps 2Go 7.1
While travelling virtually is now possible via the many online tools available, it is, of course, ideal that you get to do things in real life too.
Travel with City Maps 2Go
City Maps 2Go can be your travel companion anywhere in the world, if you’ll allow it to. The app provides detailed maps that can be used even without having an Internet connection, since those can be so expensive when abroad. When you download a certain map you’ll also get various articles that will serve during the trip, including data about popular places and insider tips. Basically, you’ll get enough information to plan a perfect trip with the simple use of your phone.
As soon as you launch the app, you’ll be able to choose your interests, which will then serve in providing personalized recommendations for you. It’s possible to choose between architecture, shopping, museums, food and relaxation.
You can then search for a certain city or region, or browser for a country in the world. The full list can be found a swipe away and you can just scroll through the list and pick the country you’re looking to visit. It only takes a few second to download the entire load of data, but it depends on your connection speed. If you don’t want to allow the app to download articles alongside the map info, you can just move the slider.
As mentioned, you can download data for a country’s regions, departments or cities, depending on each nation.
Where are you?
The app will also ask to gain access to your location so it can guide you through the cities you’re visiting and point out important locations that you can visit or that are nearby. It’s also possible to view more data on the city by tapping on the button in the bottom right area. There, you’ll find hotels, tours and activities available, as well as more data on various locations.
City Maps 2Go also comes with a “Discover” feature that will make use of your location and provide you some more localized articles that you could enjoy. If you visit any of them, you can even rate them and add photographs from your travels.
