## What is San Francisco Map and Walks?

Lose Yourself Without Getting Lost.

This handy application presents you several self-guided walks featuring the best of the city, from world famous attractions to hidden gems. There simply is no better way to see a city on foot, at your own pace and at a cost that is only a fraction of what you would normally pay for a guided tour.

This app comes with a detailed and fully functional city map to help you explore the city and locate the sights of interest. City map functions included in this app are: street name and business (restaurants, cafes, etc.), search, location bookmarking, `Findme` (iPhone and iPad 3/4G model), movement tracking (iPhone and iPad 3/4G model), and more. You can track your steps, take photos along the way, and then share your tracks and photos with friends.

Sightseeing walks included in this application are:

* City Orientation Walk I (13 sights)
* Gay Life in San Francisco (6 sights)
* Tour of Chinatown (7 sights)
* Fisherman's Wharf Walk (7 sights)
* Telegraph Hill Climb (7 sights)
* Union Square Walk (12 sights)
* Japantown Walking Tour (9 sights)
* San Francisco Architecture (7 sights)
* Gay Nightclubs & Bars Tour (5 sights)
* North Beach Walking Tour (7 sights)

No Data Plan or Internet is Needed, and No Roaming either. All the data used in this app is built into the software, so there is no need for internet access or cellular data plan. No need to pay costly roaming charges when traveling to foreign cities. The app works with your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

All the navigation features related to the city walks are disabled in this Lite version, which means that you can view the walk details (sight descriptions and photos), but NO navigation assistance is provided to guide you from one sight to the next. Download the Lite version if you want to use the city map or learn about the city walks. However, if you want to join the walks, it is highly recommended that you download a Full Version of this app. The Full Version includes detailed walk route maps to guide you from one sight to the next.

Please visit our website at www.GPSmyCity.com to find city walks for over 470 cities worldwide.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app gives you the option to turn off the GPS tracking in the background to prolong the battery life.

### 1/5 — Não é de graça

*2016-11-02*

Eu estava procurando um mapa de São Francisco. Encontrei esse app, que prometia ser de graça, porém depois do donwload verifiquei que não havia o mapa. Avaliei mal, pois me senti enganado. Não me importo de pagar, mas entendo que deve ser claro quando há essa necessidade.

### 1/5 — Läuft auch als alte Version nicht unter IOs 6!

*2015-05-31*

Leider hatte ich mir diese App über den Pc besorgt. Beim Aufspielen der App auf mein IPhone wurde mir versprochen, dass die ältere Version auch unter IOS 6 laufen würde. Das Tat sie auch. Allerdings wurde ich beim Öffnen einer Tour zum Update für 5€ aufgefordert. Das ist eine Frechheit! Denn ich hatte ja die neuste Version gekauft. Ohne das Update scheint diese App aber nicht benutztbar zu sein!

### 1/5 — No good without upgrading to a paid version

*2014-08-14*

If you wanted to take a walk with this app you'd be left high and dry. It only delivers the most basic information about a few sights and to get a complete walk or map you are required to upgrade to the paid version.

### 2/5 — Waste of efforts i would say

*2014-05-22*

I went to tour San Francisco, on foot, and driving. I needed an application just like the navigation, that would be directing me through the points of interest. By suggesting a route both on foot and on a car. Continuously telling me what i could visit very close by, and telling me to head in a general direction of a certain, previously set destination. I thought this app is the one that would be suggesting me points of interest on the way to my destination. I thought i would know whats closer to me and whats too far to go on foot. This app is of no use other than giving you a brief info about the places u might want to visit in San Francisco

### 2/5 — Free version is very limited

*2012-04-03*

The entire purpose of this is to entice an upgrade. Even the information on the free version is not entirely accurate. There are better free apps available.
