Convenient layout made for practical purposes

The utility brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Californian city and there are not many elements of design that could pass as attractive.

Browsing the map view of the city is fairly smooth, as the display adapts promptly to any changes of perspective in both the road and aerial view modes. Nonetheless, there is a slight delay that occurs when the app starts for the first time, as it takes a while to load all the data.

Florence Guide brings you over 50 really interesting spots to visit and they are marked on the map. By zooming in and pressing once on the number assigned to each of them you can view their name and a second tap will open the corresponding informative section.

The utility allows you to check out the landmarks in a different manner as well, namely by browsing the complete list of places it has in store. The integration with the on-board navigation solution makes it easy to get accurate directions to the selected spots.
