Explore any city easily with GPSmyCity – The travel mobile app for Android and iOS that gives you top travel articles and city walks with offline maps.
Travel has come a long way since my very first trip abroad thirty years ago.
A family vacation back then meant physical maps and travellers’ cheques. Later, Nokia phones came with very expensive international text rates.
While I loved getting lost with a physical map, having a proper source of information at your fingertips can sometimes make or break a journey.
Travel can be even more rewarding if you use travel apps – taking care of the boring necessities and leaving you more time for adventure!
If you want to make exploring cities easier and you like the ease and convenience of having a tour guide but prefer the excitement and flexibility of exploring on your own, then this is for you.
Exploring a city with an offline map and guide
I’m collaborating with GPSmyCity, and as a result, some of my blog posts have been turned into self-guided walking tours within their app.
It’s a great partnership because the app takes my articles and transforms them into easy-to-follow routes you can use when offline — perfect for travellers who like to explore the world independently.
It also puts all the places in the post on a map and lets you read the article and follow the recommendations in it using an offline map.
GPSmyCity has a brilliant selection of well-curated travel articles for over 1 ,000 cities around the world from some of the best travel writers and bloggers.
How does GPSmyCity work?
GPSmyCity has some really helpful videos explaining how the app works. I found it user-friendly and easy to use.
You can access the articles for free, but to use the GPS navigation functions, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid version for a small fee.
The cost of the upgrade is well worth it for the ease and convenience of navigating a new city with a map and guide that work offline.
But there’s another good reason – it’s the time, stress and effort you save by not having to work too hard on planning your trip.
If you haven’t used GPSmyCity before, here’s how to get started — it’s very straightforward:
1. Download the GPSmyCity app
Available in the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play (Android).
Search for “GPSmyCity.”
2. Search for the city you’re visiting
Type the city name — for example, “Prague,” “Istanbul,” or “Granada.”
3. Look for my articles
You’ll see a list of guides available for that city.
Find the guide with the same title as the article on my blog.
4. Upgrade to the full version (free during the promo!)
Tap “Upgrade” next to the article.
During the two-week promotion, it will show as FREE.
The full version gives you the offline map, GPS navigation, and a ready-made walking route.
5. Download the guide
Tap “Download” to use it without an internet connection.
6. Start exploring
Open the guide while you’re out in the city.
