Phone Applications for When You Travel

These days the technology is getting more and more accessible. With iPhones and BlackBerry cellular phones being all the rage, there are plenty of apps or applications being created. One category Seven Stars Grace Bay Beach Resort is very interested in is of course the travel apps. There are plenty of different ones, from apps that organize your travel itinerary to those who convert your currency to those who help you translate ‘restrooms’ in any language. Take for example the Yelp app which is available on the Android and Palm Pre which helps you find places to eat, shop, drink and play with reviews. There’s also the Streetmuseum one which is created by the Museum of London and gives travelers an insight into the country’s history. Once you’re next to a featured location, all you need to do is hold you camera and you’ll see what that same spot looked like hudreds of years ago. MetrO is another great app for traveling folks. This one helps people travel through over 400 cities. It’s free and available on most phones like iPhone, BlackBerry and Palm. Plus, once you’ve downloaded a city, you don’t need a connection. On the MetrO app, you’ll find routes searchable by railway, subway, bus and Tram.
