Warsaw Guide 4.2.0.0
Because there is no lack of information resources, some users are most likely to be tempted to carry out this activity while on the go and those who own a Windows Phone handset can enlist the help of a tool like Warsaw Guide if they are about to visit the largest city in Poland.
Simple layout made more for functionality rather than good looks
The practical aspect is predominant and this 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.
Not too smooth is the actual startup of the application, when you will have to wait for it to load all the landmarks highlighted on the map and this can take a few seconds.
Locate the points of interest with minimal efforts
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 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.
The other method you can try out relies in the markers set on the map to highlight every landmark in Warsaw. Tapping the number will reveal the name of that spot, but most of them are unfortunately written in the native language, which can make them harder to decipher.
The app also integrates seamlessly with the navigation solution of your phone and this will help you get directions to any of the spots you want to visit.
Get to know every place listed inside the guide with images and text
This utility displays a good deal of details concerning any of the entries on the list of places or when you make a selection from the map shown inside the main screen. The written data as well as the imagery are taken from Wikipedia, a most reliable online resource.
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.
