Austin Guide 3.1.0.0

Discover the capital city of Texas with a useful traveling assistant in digital format
When planning a vacation or even a short stay in a certain place abroad it is always a good idea to get some information regarding the facilities and local attractions you will find when you arrive there.

For those who want to seek for the information the want even when on the go, there are several utilities that can help in this respect and Austin Guide is among them.

Tidy layout with a focus on practicality

This application comes with a quite original look relatively that has at its core the map navigation feature and for this reason the visually appealing elements of graphical design are scarce.

A very positive aspect is the pleasant experience coming from the fluent map navigation in the road view, as well as in the aerial mode and also among the several areas of the app, lacking any kind of lag or some other type of flaw.

Select the places to check out with no efforts

With Austin Guide you can take a quick look at the map and pick any of the marked spots to view their name and by tapping it enter the areas where all the details are provided.

In case you opt for the other method, namely using the places list that is accessible via the main menu at the bottom of the main screen, you will have all the locations on display, neatly structured in alphabetical order.

Relevant information and suggestive images at a glance

As soon as you select any of the places included in Austin Guide you will have at your fingertips a selection of historical details and interesting facts that is accompanied by a set of high-quality images, all these originating from the articles hosted by Wikipedia.

In case you want to check out the original page, there is a link included inside each article and on the source page you can get a lot more details, including transportation information, extra historical references and others.
