There are many apps to help travelers with planning their vacations. This article shares a few of some favorites. As a travel professional, we always want to book our clients’ dream vacations. While we can manage all of our clients' travel plans to a T, their actual experiences are not always plannable. Luckily, there are some great travel apps to help with just about any aspect of a trip. Check out these top travel apps to add to your packing lists.
An App for: Speaking the Language If your traveling to foreign countries, be sure to be prepared with an app that helps speak the common language. Google Translate is a lifesaver for any mono-linguist traveler. Translate from 103 different languages just by typing or drawing the word or phrase. Use your phone’s camera to hold up to street signs or even restaurant menus for instant translations. The best part is that the app works without using a wireless connection so you can explore data-free. Navigate with confidence and even learn a thing or two about the native tongue. An App for: Maps & Directions Don’t leave home without a solid navigation app for exploring. Apps like Maps.Me or City Mapper offer downloadable maps with turn-by-turn navigation, traffic updates and can even pinpoint local hotspots to check out. Explore points of interest from restaurants to tourist attractions, all with step-by-step directions. Even create driving, walking and cycle routes to save extra time, or just to take in the scenery. An App for: Packing Be certain to never forget a thing for your next trip. With apps like PackPoint, you can type in the destination and select the activities planned to create a customized packing list for the trip. It will even check the weather to make sure you are packing all the essentials. You can also share the list with your fellow travelers so nothing is ever left behind. An App for: Chatting Make sure you can always stay in touch with friends and family. WhatsApp provides free voice calls and messaging when connected to wifi. The group chat feature also allows you to share messages, photos and videos for sharing your experiences. An App for: Time Zones Never lose track of time again. With an app like Circa, travelling to multiple locations across different time zones has never been easier. Find the best times for connecting flights and send invitations to other travelers in different time zones to meet up. Now you'll never miss a beat no matter how far apart you are. With these five apps you're certain to be well equipped for your next vacation. Download them ahead of time to begin to become comfortable in their use prior to travel. This will lessen stress and provide ease of use when needed. These tips are just one of the many ways we demonstrate to our clients that we care about every aspect of your trip. MyFuncations
