Cambridge Guide 4.0.0.0

Discover the beautiful and culture-filled city of Cambridge with a virtual guide for your phone
There are plenty of people who like to learn new stuff about the places they are about to visit, so in order to discover the main attractions of some famous place resorting to a travel guide could be a smart choice.

In case you do not have the time to do this some days or weeks ahead, there are plenty of online and offline resources that can help you carry out this activity, even while you are on your way to that particular location and Cambridge Guide is one of them.

Well organized layout, made for ease of use

From the visual perspective, this application doesn't offer a lot since its looks are mainly designed to be more functional than appealing. Everything revolves around the map displayed inside the main screen and all the functions and commands are placed conveniently, for quick access.

The navigation on the map has a quite smooth feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the road and aerial views. The zoom in and zoom out actions are completed smoothly and there are very few delays, if any at all, when loading the information

Main attractions at a glance

The application allows you to check out the landmarks in the Cambridge area 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 placed in the lower side of the screen.

There is an alternative to this and you have another method at your disposal to discover the landmarks. More precisely, you have the possibility to view the exact location on the map and tap the number on the markers to reveal the names of those spots.

Detailed info about each tourist attraction

Cambridge Guide displays a good deal of details concerning any of the entries on the list of places or when you make a selection from the map shown inside the main screen. The data is taken from one of the most reliable online sources out there, namely Wikipedia.

In case you want to verify the details to see if any of them are obsolete, you can check out the original pages, by accessing the links at the beginning of each article included in this virtual guide.
