Why buy classic navigation when the one on your mobile is enough for you? If you're one of those people who often get lost in unfamiliar surroundings, then these tips for navigation and map apps will knock the thorn out of you. They will not only serve for step-by-step navigation, but they will also tell you when a train is going, or order a direct ride.

Google Maps

Today's first tip is probably the most popular map application in the world, Google Maps. The app offers the freshest informace about public transport in your city, so you can catch a bus or train better, or it will tell you the estimated time of arrival and informace about traffic in real time, helping you avoid traffic jams. In the application's maps, you can find various places such as restaurants, businesses or those added to them by site owners, local experts or Google itself. You can also create and share a list of favorite places with your friends. In addition, the application offers building plans for quickly orienting yourself in large spaces such as shopping malls, stadiums or airports, or the popular Street View function, which allows you to walk through specific streets and neighborhoods to find a restaurant, shop, hotel, museum and other interesting or important places. For many, perhaps the most important function is the ability to search and use navigation even without an Internet connection. Google Maps is free and contains ads.
