In the Aruba Smart Map we like to keep things simple, on each place you will find yourself a short description, opening hours, a quick list of information that answers frequently asked questions, a contact hub to find more information and of course the navigation button to find your way there. Additionally, you can find under the tab “Events/Deals” any events and/or deals a place may have. You can save any place to your favorites list by selecting the heart on the profile page of any place. You can find all places you have saved in the menu under the “Favorites” button, which are organized per category. This way you can plan ahead of visiting Aruba! In order to use the offline navigation, Wi-Fi & Happy Hour Map, you must download the Offline Google Map of Aruba. We provided very easy instructions on our website or in our in-app tutorial.
