Amsterdam on foot
I used GPSmyCity to successfully navigate exploring a foreign country. I downloaded the maps and routes I needed for my 10 day trip before my travel. I was able to not only travel on foot as I had planned, but to rearrange my expeditions after I accidentally fell and twisted my knee. From nearby tram stops to major museums and quirky shops, the app never let me down.

Great App for overseas cities
This is a great app for traveling, especially to overseas cities. Before you leave the US, you should put in your hotels,metro stops, etc. Then you are able to use this offline and it gives you great directions.
At time when I was in the planning stages, I had issues with syncing and downloading, but I must say that the customer services was right on target.
Combined with Google Maps, you will be able to travel with confidence.
Thank you GPS My City.

Great App for visiting and exploring cities
My husband and I used this app in Scandinavia recently. We walked the suggested city walk in Helsinki and it led us to all types of wonderful sites. The map shows our position and the direction to the next site. In Taillin, Estonia, it helped us tract down a very old pharmacy. I always knew where I was and how to get back to the port where our ship was docked. The only problem might be if there are tall buildings the GPS, can get confused and you just have to keep walking till it picks up your location…it never took too long to do that. I would definitely recommend this app, it has so much information on it. Barbara

Response from developer
Barbara, thank you for the review. Our motto is "Lose yourself without getting lost". This is true even in cities with tall buildings. :)
Fantastic tours for the inquisitive traveller
This app is a fantastic addition to your travel collection. It allows you to download walking tours in locations around the world and see parts of a city you might otherwise miss. Unlike more conventional tours you get golden nuggets of information about bars, restaurants and other insider tips you might otherwise miss out on.
For those on a budget it is also much better value than conventional tours and you get a workout to boot. What’s not to love

Thanks for the review! The app is a much better value than guided tours which usually cost dozens of dollars per person per tour. The app cost a fraction of that and offers more. Thank you for pointing it out.
Nice travel app
I tried this app recently on a trip to Greece/Europe and found it fun and useful. They highlight the most important sites to see in each city, have informative descriptions for the sites and fun features such as checking off sites visited, GPS your walks and have suggested routes to visit priority sites. I’m looking forward to future improvements to include audio descriptions of sites.

Disappointed
The app is not helpful or user friendly . I’ve selected a walking tour. Downloaded something, where that is we can’t find it. I click on a tour and can’t get back to list of other tours/walks have to close out of the app and go back in. To get to beginning as the back arrow doesn’t seem to work. Sure we see the map and route but nothing starts or seems work. Just paid $13 for some access. That seems like a waste. I’ll keep trying to figure it out but I want something I can open, select a walk and go this app is not it! Disappointed

Very good app
This app is brilliant!! I downloaded it and was surprised to find that they had a walk available for where I was visiting (Funchal). When this was downloaded- it was available without wifi or data, so I was completely free to walk about. The directions were accurate. The suggested walk (Introduction to the city) was not straining and showed the most beautiful landmarks, all of which were accessed for free. There were also other attractions that you could go to and it had some information about. The texts were informative and detailed- just as good as a tour guide, if not better, since it allowed us to walk at our own pace and take breaks for lunch and drinks. I will definitely be using this again! 👍

Dublin Intro Walking Tour
Used GPS my city for the first time and found it extremely helpful for both walking routes and informational purposes. It’s worth taking the time to learn how to use it before your trip rather then figuring out the Ins and outs as you go The downloads that are available are very accurate and as an avid traveler help us plan are trip with more precision to what we wanted to see.

So practical!
I love how practical this app is, and how I get to access so many ways to see a city. Typical guide books are bulky or online sites can get so complicated. This is easy and has such unique experiences from people who have been. The maps are so useful, too! At first I thought it wasn’t worth paying for the app, but it has turned out to be a valuable resource and given me ideas and options in one place, rather than searching all over. It’s especially worth it when I think about how expensive walking tours can be. Highly recommended!

GPS Mc city
I used this app recently in the Alsace region of France and Paris and London. It is a great app. They have sightseeing routes already in the app, plus you were able to make your own sightseeing route! They have a majority of all the sites you may want to see in a particular area, and information regarding each one of these places. The information on each of the sightseeing locations as well written and highly informative. It is definitely worth the money. I was pleasantly surprised with white the app had to offer!
