Manila Guide 3.5.0.0

Look into the points of interest in the most densely populated city in the world
When planning a vacation or even a short stay in a certain place abroad it is always a good idea to get some information regarding the facilities and local attractions you will find when you arrive there.

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 Manila Guide.

Easy to use front-end, with some neat map views

This utility 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 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 Manila Guide is of pretty good quality.

Explore the landmarks of the Philippine capital

This application 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.

Manila Guide brings you over 40 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.

Get a bit of information about each interesting place in Manila

With the help of this virtual guide you will get quite a bit of info on every local attraction it has in store for you and there are also some nice photos accompanying each listing. A neat thing is that the source of information is the reliable online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

Nonetheless, you should check the original pages, by accessing the links inside each article and verify the details to see if any of them need updating.
