What iPhone app for global travel?
 

For those of you utilizing your iPhones GPS while traveling abroad what apps have you found the most useful? There seems to be a lot out there but I'm curious what actual international travelers are using.

Thanks!

Mapsme, ioverlander, wikicamps

Edit - Whatsapp, Booking.com and the best of them all Airbnb. With Airbnb I can usually find a room for half the price of the cheapest single rooms in a guesthouse, hostel etc. And the rooms are usually much better and I have met some amazing hosts that have have gone out of their way to host me, help me, feed me etc etc. Cannot recommend Airbnb much enough. You always give feedback, the host of the guest and the guest of the host - so the bad guys will soon be left out.

There are also location-specific apps that might be useful depending on your mode of transport. Allstays and freecampsites.net for north america and several for greater Europe. Wikicamps Australia for Australia is by far the best

I second mapsme, and I also download offline maps for google maps. IOverlander, xe.com for currency conversions, google translate (you can download languages for offline use)

ioverlander, google offline maps, google translate, airbnb, whatsapp

There was others I used often, but my ihone crashed last week and I cannot get into it to check.

WhatsApp, Navigator and Booking. Com

Rad. I've got a WhatsApp account and am iOverlander, both superb for travel. Never thought about booking.com not a bad idea. Airbnb is interesting, I've used it a number of times in the states but haven't really thought about it out of the country. I will download the app now. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tips! Ive bookmarked those sites for use while I'm still in the states and Wikicamps looks like an amazing resource for when I get myself over to Aus. Thank you!

I have mapsme on my phone but have yet to fiddle with it. Do you find it pretty simple to use? I'm beginning to some to the conclusion that I'm not that technology savvy. lol

Just looked into xe.com and saved that site and have google translate downloaded. Very useful stuff.

Thanks!

Thank you! I was unaware of google offline maps until. This looks very handy. Thank you and sorry to hear about your tele crashing!

Thank you! Appreciate the helpful tips!!

Not a iphone user ... but I've been told 'mapout' is better than mapme ... uses the same data from OSM - both off line maps, down load once and you have the maps where ever, even in areoplane mode.

Get a good VPN service.

I currently use Tunnel Bear, as per this thread:

Have to add that my experiences with Airbnb is from south-America. But many different countries down there...

Maps.me. We were in Cuba earlier this year where cell phones don't have data service. Still, maps.me worked flawlessly. What a great app.
