Hong Kong Guide 3.2.0.0

Find the best places to see in the cosmopolite Hong Kong and read some useful details about each of them
A lot of people who are preparing a vacation or a few days trip to a location they never visited before will do a bit of research to discover the best places to check out during their stay.

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

Effortless navigation through a simple GUI

This app offers a somewhat different perspective than other tools of its kind, as everything inside the interface revolves around the map, which influences the appearance a lot. The visually pleasing elements of graphical design are thus left aside, as the practical aspect takes over.

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 application, lacking any kind of lag or some other type of flaw.

Spot the landmarks and access the data on the fly

Hong Kong Guide offers a very well organized method of browsing all the items included in its database. Thus, if you opt for 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.

Another way is by exploring the map with all the attractions marked there. You can press the numbers to view the names of those places, while with another tap you will access the informative section allocated to each location.

Explore the photos and text information available for each location

Upon selecting a certain place from the map or the built-in list, Hong Kong Guide will offer a detailed insight, including some relevant photos and all the information is provided courtesy of Wikipedia.

If you want to view the original pages for any of the articles, you just have to simply follow the link placed inside the textual description of each location.
