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: * Austin Southeast Downtown (12 sights) * Cultural Walk in N Downtown (7 sights) * Austin Museums (6 sights) * Downtown Churches (12 sights) * Art Gallery Tour (5 sights) * Congress Avenue (12 sights) * Children's Entertainment (7 sights) * N-W Downtown Architecture (11 sights) * Nightlife in Austin (5 sights) * Shopping in Austin (7 sights) * City Orientation Walk (15 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.

Street Artwork

Features
Read full description

Street Artwork turns every city into an open-air gallery. Open the map: thousands of geolocated artworks appear around you. Graffiti, murals, paste-ups, stickers, mosaics — spotted, photographed and kept up to date by a community of enthusiasts. MADE FOR THE STREET, NOT THE SOFA • The map comes first: zoom into your neighbourhood or a city you are visiting, then walk. • More than 600 cities, ranked by how much art they hold, each with its own map. • Directions to any artwork in one tap, in the maps app you already use. A MAP THAT TELLS THE TRUTH Street art fades, gets painted over, disappears. Here you can report a work you could not find: after a second report it carries a warning for everyone. And when it is still there, say that too. Nobody should cross town for an empty wall. YOUR FIELD NOTEBOOK • Mark the works you have seen: they are filed with the date you saw them. • Keep the artworks and artists you love in one place. • Earn badges as your finds add up. THE ARTISTS Profiles, biographies, works from around the world and a map for each artist. Artists can claim their own page and keep it themselves. CONTRIBUTE Photograph a work: the app reads its location, you add the title and the artist. A few screens and it is done. You can also offer a better photo of a work already on the map. HUNTER PREMIUM Follow artists and cities to hear about every new piece. Take a whole city offline before you leave. Get alerted when a work you have not seen yet comes within 150 metres while you walk. And browse with no ads. Free, worldwide. The map grows with the community: every photo you add shows someone else a work they would have walked past.
