San Diego Guide 3.5.0.0
For Windows Phone users there are some specialized apps that can come in handy when it comes to learning new stuff about popular tourist destinations and if you are getting ready to travel in one of the largest cities of California, you might find San Diego Guide to be of interest for you.
Unsophisticated interface, easy to work with
The utility brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Californian city and there are not many elements of design that could pass as attractive.
The navigation on the map has a quite smooth feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the road and aerial views.
Check out the points of interest in San Diego at a glance
With regard to the organization of the content, this application offers two simple ways of looking at the places you might me interested in.
The first one relies on going through the locations highlighted on the map and by tapping the number on the markers you will be able to see the names of those spots.
The alternative to this is by accessing the alphabetically ordered list of places that can be brought up with a single tap on the corresponding button hosted inside the main menu.
Detailed info and nice pictures of local attractions
For every spot included in San Diego Guide you can read the details provided by the Wikipedia articles and there are also some neat photographs that are illustrative for each of the locations.
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.
