I often get asked that if I had to travel with just one app, what would it be? I can reply without hesitation that it would be CityMaps2Go.
This handy app – available for iOS and Android – allows me to download maps of the cities I am will be visiting for access offline. No nasty and expensive data connection required. And you can download a lite or pro version.
The beauty of this app is that it also includes GPS location, which can be used offline. I have literally NEVER been lost in a strange city because of this app, and I am navigationally challenged at the best of times. You can “pin” the locations you want to visit, which comes with comprehensive Wikipedia entries, so it’s also like a guide book (I’d recommend using this particular function on your tablet). It also includes information about hotels, restaurants, convenience stores and their locations etc. I always pin my hotel location, so I can always find my way back.
So, do yourselves a favour and download it. You won’t regret it.
