Houston Guide 1.0.0.0

See the most interesting places to visit when traveling to the largest city in Texas
There are plenty of people who like to stay informed about the places they are about to visit, so, in order to discover the main attractions of any tourist destination, resorting to a travel guide could be a very good choice.

Since this activity can be carried out very well even if you are on the move, you can try one of the apps for Windows Phone dedicated to that purpose and going by the name of Houston Guide.

Unsophisticated front-end, made for ease of use

The application brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Texas city and there are few elements of design that could pass as attractive.

Going through the various sections of the application and navigating from one place to another on the map are carried out seamlessly, without any visible delay of other kind of glitch in both the aerial and road views.

Exploring Houston in a convenient manner

With the help of this guide you can take a quick look at the map and pick any of the marked spots to view their name and by tapping it enter the areas where all the details are provided.

The application also allows you to check out the main attractions in Houston's 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.

Get all the details you need about every location

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.

Should you care to view all the available data for any entry on the places list, you can use the URL address that links to the source article and explore the extra info on the fly.
