Sofia Guide 4.0.4.0
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 Southeastern Europe, you might find Sofia Guide to be of interest for you.
Uncomplicated and practical interface
This application comes with a quite original look that has at its core the map navigation feature and for this reason the visually appealing elements of graphical design are scarce.
A very positive aspect is the pleasant experience coming from the fluent map navigation in the road view, as well as in the aerial mode and also among the several areas of the app, lacking any kind of lag or some other type of flaw.
Find and check out the main attractions of Bulgaria's capital
A neat feature of this application is the well-thought structuring of the locations it includes, so you can easily pick the ones you find more appealing from an alphabetically ordered list that can be brought up with a single tap on the corresponding button hosted inside the main menu.
The numbers on the map stand for the same places, so you ca see exactly where they are located and when tapping the markers you will see the name of that point of interest and with another tap you will open its information box.
Sofia Guide also integrates very well with the navigation solution of your phone and this will help you get directions to any of the spots you want to visit.
Read all the details about each landmark and view some relevant pictures
The application enables you to read the info hosted on the Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia or every location it has included in its database. The imagery inside Sofia Guide is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.
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.
