GPSMyCity: Best Travel App For Your Personal Guided Tours & City Walks
In the age of smartphones, travel apps are like guiding stars at the ease of your fingertips. Whether you’re looking for the perfect vacation, searching for the best deals on hotels and flights, accessing an easy transit guide anywhere in the world or mastering the airport wait, certainly, there is an app for that! But most of the good apps require the internet connection or huge amount of data.
Whenever you’re planning your trip, I’m sure you must be doing little homework related with your to go destination. You must be searching on Google about best things to see or reading various articles about your destination and bookmarking it for your reference before your trip.
You’re so lucky if you’ve got an internet access available on your phone at a destination so that you can refer to your bookmarked articles but if you’re out of coverage area or you might not even have a cell phone plan for the country you are visiting…Dang! What will you do then?
Don’t worry! I came across this awesome new GPSMyCity travel app that will totally resolve your problem!
What is GPSMyCity?
GPSMyCity is a self-guided walking tours apps on iOS and Android for exploring cities on foot. You can find travel articles that have GPS coordinates embedded in the articles and a map of the route the author described in his/her article. The walks may be general (like “Paris Highlights”), or thematic (such as the “Murray Hill Architecture Walk” in New York). And you can find literally thousands of this city walk app articles (from over 600 worldwide cities) at GPSMyCity related with your specific area of interests such as food tours, walking tours, history or fashions tours, shopping, fine-dining places etc.
How does GPSMyCity app work?
There are two ways to access article apps on your IOS and Android devices. You can either click on the link at the end of a blog post that has been turned into an app (if you haven’t already downloaded the free GPSMyCity app you will be prompted to do so). Or, once you have the GPSMyCity app, you can browse by the city to see what articles are available. You can then download the article for free or upgrade for offline use and GPS tracking.
Once this app is downloaded to your phone, you will not need any internet to use the article as a guide. That means you can read it on the airplane, or while following a walk, even if you don’t have internet access. It will show you right where you are on the map and guide you to each subsequent location! If you decide you want it to be a GPS-guided article, all you do is pay a small fee to upgrade (about $1.00 which is even cheaper than your one cup of coffee)!

September 20, 2016This is a great idea and would definitely help in new cities! It’d be great if it had more off-the-grid tours as well. Those little hidden nooks and crannies that are true gems of the city.

September 20, 2016This is a great idea of an app. I remember when I was traveling in Asia and following Lonely Planet’s self guided walks. It would have been much easier to just use my phone and not carry the entire book.

September 20, 2016I would totally love this app if I was traveling solo and I didn’t have my youngest daughter with me. It would be a lot of fun to explore a city on foot! What an experience!

September 20, 2016This sounds so great! I love doing tours myself but this would make it even better to actually be able to do it myself but be able to learn as well!

September 19, 2016This is a great app! We do like to explore when we’re in new places and seriously, holding a big paper map screams TOURIST! hahaha. And it’s awesome that you don’t need internet! Data while traveling is $$$
