Bangkok Guide 1.0.0.0
Nowadays it is not at all unusual for someone to be looking up such details only a couple of days before leaving or even while traveling to that location. This can be done quite easily thanks to the numerous online and offline resources that can be accessed on the go and Windows Phone users can try for such purposes some dedicated utilities like Bangkok Guide.
Easy to use GUI, with a well organized layout
This application comes with a relatively simple appearance that is based on the map orientation which is its pivotal feature. There are few, if any, elements of graphical design that could be considered attractive since the focus is clearly set of on practicality.
The navigation on the map has a quite fluent feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the aerial and road views. Not too smooth is the actual startup of the application when you will have to wait for it to load all the landmarks highlighted on the map and this can take a few seconds.
Find or pick interesting spots to get the info at your fingertips
Insofar as the organization of the content is concerned, there should be no issues in finding a certain place as long as it is included in the database of Bangkok Guide. The locations are marked distinctly on the map and by tapping any of the markers will reveal the name of that place.
There is another method of filtering and searching for interesting locations in the capital of Thailand, more precisely by accessing the places list that is ordered alphabetically and can be brought up with a tap on the corresponding button from the main menu.
Get quick information and great photos for each selected location
With Bangkok Guide you will be able to enjoy a fine selection of details that are taken from one of the most reliable online sources, Wikipedia. The pictures that accompany each landmark will also help you make a good idea about that specific place.
Should you care to view all the available data for any entry on the places list, you can use the URL address that links to the source article and explore the extra info on the fly.
