Some of you may know I have a partnership with GPSmyCity, which is essentially an app that enables you to do self-guided walking tours of destinations all over the world when you’re on your travels. Lots of my content is on there, as well as content from other food and travel writers – so it’s a great resource!
What are the benefits of travel guide apps?
You probably read travel articles online all the time. But if you want to use that information when you get to your destination, you need to a) get online abroad (=expensive), and b) look up all of the suggested restaurants/bars/sights on a map to find them. With a travel guide app, all of that content is available offline, and GPS coordinates embedded in the app will guide you to the different places the author (in this case: me!) recommends.
How does a travel guide app work?
GPSmyCity offers thousands of travel article apps in over 1,500 cities, and I’ve so far created a few dozen of them – several covering Amsterdam, but others covering my foodie travels across Europe, the US and further afield. Each article is a separate app that you can download for free so you can access it offline. For GPS-guided maps showing all the restaurants, bars and other points of interest, you can simply upgrade to an annual subscription for $18.99.
