Urban Engines application shows how we are going to look for routes in the future

Urban Engines - is an application for iOS and Android, which shows the route to the destination on an interactive map of the city and does not require an internet connection. The concept is very interesting, but the application itself is currently available only in a few cities in the US and Singapore.

I remember that wildly happy when he learned that "Yandex. maps"You can download maps of cities in the offline and use them without access to the Internet. it was for the citizens Ukraine and remains very relevant function as wait loading maps on EDGE - not an easy task. And not fast.

But recently appeared Urban Engines application. And it reminded me of the first iPhone presentations. Urban Engines - it's like the first iPhone in map services. Its functionality is only sighs of admiration.

The app shows a city map with all routes, destination points and public places directly over the city image, which is removed using a smartphone camera.

After adding Urban Engines places that you visit often, you can see the route to them even without internet access. The app shows all transplants, the exact time of arrival of transport and travel time.

This video shows the operation of the application.

Now Urban Engines works only in ten cities in the US and Singapore. At the service site, you can contact representatives of Urban Engines and agree on the introduction of its cities to the list. However, as the company is in the US, and to optimize the application requires the personal presence and testing team members in the near future we can not hope to work in the service of our countries.

However, the concept very interesting, and I'd like to see something like that appeared in our country.
