Modern smartphones - this is one of the most important things needed for the trip. Apart from money, of course. Currency converter, translator, maps and the Internet - all of this will certainly be helpful. But if you, like me, do not see much point in roaming the Internet, the City Maps 2 Go - an application that is useful to you. After all, you just download the maps desired country or city, and even without the Internet you have access to maps, the guide to the sights and made notes.
First you need to download the map. The list includes almost all countries of the world, as well as separately available city maps. For example, I downloaded the map of Kharkov, to show all the benefits of the application in practice.
After you download will map itself, which is nothing special. Have you seen similar many times. The main advantage of this application is that you can mark objects that interest you on the map, mark them, and they will always be available, even without the Internet. List attractions of Kharkov in Annex meager enough, so I found a Freedom Square and said it.
Each object, you can select different color labels, evaluate, write comments, add photos, and so on. At bottom right shows the distance from your location to an object.
You want to eat? Attached you can find any objects that are far away, and even sort by category. We choose a favorite, put the label, and forward. Since the labels are separated by color, can denote different places with different colors. For example, cafés and restaurants - yellow, attractions - red, hotels - the blue and so on. This will help you not to get lost in a variety of places, and you always know what and where is.
Here is the list of bookmarks - a place which will be marked on the map and you can always find them the route, even without the Internet.
I could not find a single application that would have won the City Maps 2 Go in functionality and quality. Price $ 2 ($ 1 for All Android) - it's a penny, for the opportunity to navigate in a foreign country without inconvenient paper maps and the Internet.
But if you are still in doubt, the app store has a free version with some limitations, you can try it and decide whether to buy the full version or not. My opinion - yes definitely. If you are going on a journey to find a better card!
