Istanbul Guide 1.0.0.0
Nowadays it is not at all unusual for someone to be looking up such details only a couple of days before leaving or even while traveling to that location.
This can be done quite easily thanks to the numerous online and offline resources that can be accessed on the go and Istanbul Guide is one of those tools.
Practical GUI that brings a different type of look
From the visual perspective, this application doesn't offer a lot since it is designed to be more practical than appealing. The main focus point is the map displayed inside the main screen, with all the functions and commands placed conveniently, for quick access and ease of use.
Going through the several areas of the utility and navigating the map in road or aerial view mode has a fluent feel to it. Also, the imagery included inside Istanbul Guide is of pretty good quality.
Browse the places of interest on the fly
With regard to the organization of the content, this app offers two simple ways of looking at the places you might me interested in. Thus, 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.
In case you go 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.
Learn a good deal of interesting facts about each place
Upon selecting a certain place from the map or the built-in list, Istanbul Guide will offer a detailed insight, including some relevant photos and all the information is provided courtesy of Wikipedia.
