Honolulu Guide 1.0.0.0

A simple companion for a visit to the largest city of one of the major tourist attractions, the Hawaiian Islands
The majority of those who are preparing to leave in a vacation abroad include in their trip planning routine acquiring some details concerning the places to see when arriving at the destination.

Mobile users can do this documentation activity even while on the go, en route to that place and in case you are about to go for a journey to the tropical paradise in Hawaii, you could use a bit of help from a dedicated app called Honolulu Guide.

Friendly GUI, with a special perspective inside

This application comes with a quite original look relatively that has at its core the map navigation feature and for this reason the visually appealing elements of graphical design are scarce.

Going through the various sections of the application and navigating from one place to another on the map are carried out fairly well, but there are some delays when zooming in or out of the map, as well as some glitches in the aerial mode, where not all the locations are displayed with good quality satellite imagery.

Use the quick list or go for the markers to discover interesting places

A neat feature of Honolulu Guide is the well though-out structuring of the locations it includes, so you can easily pick the ones you find more appealing from an alphabetically ordered list that can be brought up with a single tap on the corresponding button hosted inside the main menu.

The same locations are highlighted on the map and if you press any of the numbers pinned there you will reveal the name of that place.

Easily learn more about each attraction in Honolulu

This utility 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 have any doubts about the accuracy of the information shown inside, you can check the original pages, by using the URL addresses posted at the beginning of each article.
