Venice Guide 4.1.0.0
People who prefer to look for details about the most interesting locations in the romantic Venice while they are on the go can try a specialized utility that is meant for all Windows Phone users and goes by the suggestive name of Venice Guide.
Smooth sailing through a clean GUI
This app offers a somewhat different perspective than other tools of its kind as it focuses on a map-based navigation method and this influences a lot the appearance. This means that the visually appealing elements of graphical design are missing.
Nonetheless, browsing the map view of the city is fairly smooth, as the display adapts promptly to any changes of perspective in both the road and aerial view modes.
Check out the landmarks in Venice on the go
With this application you have at your disposal close to 50 tourist attractions that are starred on the map, so by zooming in and pressing once on the number assigned to each of them you can view their name. A second tap, this time on the name of the selected place will open the corresponding informative section.
Venice Guide also includes a list of places that you can bring up from the main menu hosted at the bottom of the main screen, to have all the locations on display, neatly structured in alphabetical order.
Well documented descriptions for the listed places
The utility 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 is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.
Nonetheless, in case you feel like checking out the original pages, this can be done by accessing the links inside each article, so you will be able to verify the details, as some of them might be obsolete.
