Over the weekend, we were making last minute preparations for our upcoming trip to Spain at the end of the week. We were searching the iTunes App Store for an iPhone/iPad app that had subway and city maps for Madrid. In the past, we’ve pretty much stuck to Lonely Planet apps, but this time around we wanted to try something different. We were also looking for something that gave us offline map and GPS capability. Enter, mTrip. After reading a few reviews, we’re going to give it a try and see how well it works. mTrip has guides for many different cities in Europe, America and Asia. Plus, they can be updated daily with the latest information. Very handy. We took a look at the app after we downloaded it and I must say it’s very impressive. Very easy to use and does a good job of suggesting things to see and mapping them for you. We’re anxious to try out their “augmented reality” feature, which allows you to point your iPhone at a location and find things nearby in a live video format. Check back here the week of the 12th and we’ll let you know if mTrip’s app can cut the mustard.
