CityMaps2Go

Big Ben

Jeff & I were recently traveling in London and Rome and discovered a terrific, free map, navigation and information app for each of these cities that could be used WITHOUT being connected to THE INTERNET!!  You can pin locations to make them easier to find.  There are connections to Wickipedia from all of the sites to you are likely to want to see.  Transportation routes are often included.  There are even some restaurants and a fair number of hotels identified.  

As individual cities (Rome and London) we downloaded the apps from Ulmon.  However, these two apps have been rolled into a much more comprehensive app: CityMaps2Go, available at the App Store.  Normally, it costs $2.99.  However, through 10/19, the app is FREE!!  I highly recommend it to anyone who has an iPhone or iPad and anticipates any travel - in the US or abroad.  It seems to have a very far-reaching list of countries and cities.
