Bogota Guide 4.1.0.0
The necessary documentation can be done at home or on the go, with a bit of help from a specialized application and those who prepare for a journey in Colombia would do well to try out Bogotá Guide.
Unsophisticated, yet friendly appearance
This app comes with a rather different perspective than other tools of its kind, as it focuses on a map-based navigation method and this influences a lot the visual aspect. Thus, the pleasing elements of graphical design are left aside as the practical aspect takes over.
This focus on functionality makes for a fairly fluent navigation around the map, with some barely noticeable delays in both aerial and road view modes.
Easily explore the most interesting spots in Bogotá
The application allows you to check out some of the landmarks in Colombia's capital by browsing the complete list of places it has in store. To activate it you just have to tap the corresponding button from the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen.
The other method of finding and viewing the details for the tourist attractions relies on going through the places highlighted on the map and by tapping the number on the markers you will be able to see the names of those spots.
Detailed descriptions with text and images for each location
Bogotá Guide enables you to read the info hosted on the Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia or every place it has included in its database. The imagery is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.
Nonetheless, you should check the original pages, by accessing the links inside each article and verify the details as some of them might be obsolete.
There is also a neat feature that allows you to use the navigation solution installed onto your phone to get directions to any of the landmarks right from inside the virtual guide.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
From the visual perspective, the app has only a few things to offer, like the nice pictures of each spot included in its database and the smooth navigation. |
Function7
Bogotá Guide needs a lot more places in its database and there are some areas that have a poorer visibility while in the aerial view. |
Security9
The app remains fairly discreet while running, as it only needs to access the phone identity for some reason. |
Battery4
The continuously increasing power consumption makes this application a battery drainer as its usage remains at very high levels at all times. |
Price7
There is a good amount of info provided about each location and the access to all the details is quite straightforward, but it has too few places inside. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users will be able to install and use this app as it only requires version 7.5 or higher of the operating system. |
