San Jose Guide 4.0.0.0
Since there are numerous online and offline resources available out there, some users will most likely think of doing this activity while on the go, so for those who own a Windows Phone device, a tool like San Jose Guide will do the trick.
Tidy front-end with fluent map navigation
The app comes with a relatively simple appearance that is based on the map orientation which is its most prominent feature. There are few, if any, elements of graphical design that could be considered attractive since the focus is clearly set of on practicality.
The practical aspect makes for a fairly fluent navigation around the map, with some minor delays in both aerial and road view modes, as well as among the various sections of the utility.
The main attractions in San Jose at your fingertips
With regard to the organization of the content, this guide 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.
The alternative to this is the list of places that can be easily brought up from the main menu at the bottom of the screen and which presents all the landmarks in alphabetical order.
In-depth overviews of each marked location
For every spot included in this 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 the entire article and all the associated references, you have at your fingertips the link to the original page inside each section containing data about the selected landmark.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The looks of this app are quite simple, with a clear focus on the practical side, but they help it gain some good points from the visual perspective. |
Function7
The amount of information provided by San Jose Guide for each location is sufficient, but the number of places it includes in its database could be increased. |
Security9
The utility needs for some reason to check out the phone identity, despite the fact that it is unrelated to its actual functionality. |
Battery1
The extreme power consumption of this application makes the phone battery deplete very fast, so users should have the charger at hand when using it, especially in aerial view mode. |
Price8
This is a quite useful utility to have, as it offers free of all costs and nuisances a lot of information about one of the most interesting destinations in California. |
Compatibility10
Ready to run on any Windows Phone handset currently on the market, San Jose Guide will only need version 7 of the OS to work. |
